Falcons coach addresses Kirk Cousins injury concern after $180M QB’s Week 1 dud
NY Post
The Falcons did not get what they paid for in Week 1.
And it left some speculating about the health of quarterback Kirk Cousins, whom they signed to a four-year, $180 million contract with $100 million guaranteed during the offseason after the 36-year-old suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last October.
A day after Atlanta’s 18-10 home loss to the Steelers on Sunday in which Cousins struggled, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris addressed Cousins’ physical status.
“I feel like Kirk is healthy,” Morris told reporters Monday. “He’s been healthy since he’s been here.”
Cousins went 16-for-26 with 155 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the loss, getting sacked twice and recording a 28.9 QBR while passing for just 19 yards in the second half.
It was his first game since Oct. 29 of last year, when he suffered the season-ending injury against the Packers.

A look at the Knicks roster heading into the offseason:
What stands out, Jeremy Hefner relates, is how natural the decision felt. The Mets needed an extra starter in the midst of playing 10 straight days to give all the mainstays an extra day’s rest, notably Kodai Senga. Paul Blackburn was ready.
LOS ANGELES — Will Warren has been trying to follow in the footsteps of his veteran rotation mates like Max Fried.
