Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon in Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season and was placed on season-ending injured reserve the next day.
It was the first time that the former Minnesota Vikings QB dealt with a serious injury and some serious time away from football.
Cousins recently joined Barstool Sports' Bussin' with the Boys podcast where he revealed exactly what got him through the "sad boy period" of his Achilles injury recovery.
"Legos…," Cousins said laughing. "So, I took my boys to Mall of America. We're going to the Lego store and I looked at the Lego person with the apron welcoming me in and I said, 'You're with me. Get a cart. Whatever those two boys right there at five and six whatever they say they want, throw it in the cart.' And we're going to start building. We built the Lego Concord, we built the space shuttle, we built the Home Alone house. Me and my boys came home, did our rehab. We got time. Legos, let's go."
While the answer may be surprising to some, it's not to many fans considering Cousins is the most "dad" quarterback in the league, so it only makes sense that he had such a dad response to how he got over his sad funk.
Cousins is still rehabbing his Achilles, though he is trending upward and has been spotted taking limited reps at Falcons' practices this spring.
He is expected 100 percent by training camp in July or even earlier, but until then, the Falcons will remain cautious with what he does.
