## Key points

- Cousins’s sons chose to move with him to Minnesota.
- The family is staying in a hotel while Julie finds a home.
- The Vikings hope his return will steady their struggling offence.

## Summary

Kirk Cousins has returned to the Minnesota Vikings after a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders, and his two sons chose to join him, despite the disruption to their school, baseball and friendships. Their decision adds a personal dimension to Cousins’s return as Minnesota seeks steadier quarterback play for the rest of the season.

Cousins said his former Minnesota home was sold quickly after he signed with Atlanta in 2024, so his wife Julie is arranging new accommodation; the family is currently staying in a hotel. The Vikings turned to him after injuries and inconsistent play among their quarterbacks, including Carson Wentz’s poor outing against Buffalo. Cousins is familiar with coach Kevin O’Connell’s system and has previously played with receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
