The Facts:
Cousins isn’t averse to contact, but he was tired of playing with contacts. So he opted for Lasik surgery on his eyes -- and now he wonders what impact that will have on his game. Cousins underwent the procedure Tuesday and said there’s a chance his vision will improve to 20-15.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's John Keim suggests, in some ways the procedure provides a peace of mind. Cousins, like anyone who wears contacts, must carry a reserve pair. Having to replace a contact during a game can be an annoyance. But Cousins hopes it leads to other possible improvements, whether in his peripheral vision or his vision overall. “If it gets to 20-15, then there’s an obvious improvement,” Cousins said. “The more you can see out of the corner of your eye – blitzes, pass protection, open receivers – all of it is effective. When you have strong peripheral vision you can take in a lot of information at once. ...” In case you haven't been following along, Cousins' future in Washington is unclear and the young QB is
more than willing to move on rather than serve as a career understudy to Robert Griffin III.
