Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins’ recovery from a torn Achilles tendon remains on track as the team approaches next week’s mandatory minicamp.

Coach Raheem Morris said Monday he can’t ask for Cousins to do more in the minicamp because “he’s done almost everything” in the organized team activities. Cousins was again on the field for Monday’s launch of the final week of OTAs.

Rookie Michael Penix Jr. continues to learn under Cousins, 35, who suffered the torn right Achilles tendon in the 2023 season with the Minnesota Vikings.
