A report from HITC on November 10, 2026 suggests that quarterback Kirk Cousins could become the first player at his position to appear in 18 regular-season games during a single NFL campaign. The league currently plays a 17-game regular season, and any future expansion to 18 games would create the opportunity for Cousins to set the record if he starts every game.
