Kirk Cousins plans to talk to Jakobe Thomas about No. 8

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins made his official return to the team on Wednesday. He still doesn’t officially have a number.

Has he spoken to rookie safety Jakobe Thomas, who currently wears No. 8?

“I need to circle back with him,” Cousins told reporters. “Haven’t gotten there. So we’ll have a conversation and I think Mike Parsons will help us, too, in the equipment room. But, yeah, I’ve got to talk to Jakobe for sure.”

When the issue came up again later, Cousins laughed — while also making his intentions clear: “I’m confident that Jakobe and I can have a healthy and mature conversation and figure this out.”

It’s hard to imagine Thomas standing in Cousins’s way. There are too many Vikings fans who still have No. 8 jerseys that will become moot if Cousins isn’t wearing it.

However it goes, it would be a shock if Cousins isn’t wearing No. 8 on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
