Christian Darrisaw Injury News & Updates
Nov 14, 2025
Should start vs. Bears
Darrisaw (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw missed practice Thursday due to a lingering knee issue, but he'll be good to go again in Week 11. Minnesota's offense has found slightly more success through the air than on the ground so far this year, and the Bears' pass defense has left something to be desired, so Darrisaw's ability to protect rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy's blind side could be key come Sunday.
Nov 6, 2025
Absent from practice
Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw received what was likely a day of rest after he was a full participant to open the week at practice Wednesday. The offensive tackle will look to return to practice Friday ahead of the team's Week 10 matchup with the Ravens on Sunday.
Nov 2, 2025
Good to go vs. Lions
Darrisaw (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
After aggravating a knee injury last Thursday against the Chargers, Darrisaw opened Week 9 prep as a full practice participant Wednesday before sitting out Thursday's session. He returned to the field Friday as a limited participant and was given a questionable tag. However, it always appeared like he was going to give it a go against a divisional rival on the road.
Nov 2, 2025
Slated to suit up Sunday
Darrisaw (knee), who is questionable to play in Week 9 against Detroit, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw aggravated a lingering knee injury last Thursday versus the Chargers. He logged an FP/DNP/LP practice progression this week, but it appears he'll be able to play and start at left tackle.
Oct 31, 2025
Questionable to face Lions
Darrisaw (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw aggravated a knee injury in Minnesota's Week 8 loss to the Chargers. He closed the week with a limited practice and turned in a full session Wednesday. Coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism that Darrisaw would be available for the key divisional showdown Sunday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.
Oct 29, 2025
Turns in full practice
Darrisaw (knee) practiced in full Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw aggravated his knee injury in Thursday's loss to the Chargers. His immediate return to a full practice session is a positive sign for his availability for a key Week 9 matchup against Detroit.
Oct 23, 2025
Done for night
Darrisaw (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's contest against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw exited the game with a knee injury in the first half, and he will now be forced to sit out the rest of the game. In his place, Justin Skule will continue to handle the starting workload at left tackle.
Oct 23, 2025
Questionable to return
Darrisaw (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Chargers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw entered Week 8 questionable to play due to knee discomfort, but he was ultimately able to start the game. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury or if he suffered a new one, but in his absence, Justin Skule has taken over at left tackle versus Los Angeles.
Oct 23, 2025
Cleared to play vs. Bolts
Darrisaw (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw went through an extensive routine during pregame warmups to test his knee injury, and the fifth-year offensive lineman has been cleared to play in Thursday night's game, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Darrisaw will continue to start at left tackle for the Vikings.
Oct 22, 2025
Questionable to face Chargers
Darrisaw (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Chargers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw made his season debut in Week 7 against Cincinnati after recovering from torn ACL and MCL injuries. He wasn't on the injury report until Wednesday, when he did not practice. It's possible the team was just limiting his reps, but Darrisaw's status is now unclear.
Sep 21, 2025
Cleared to play against Cincinnati
Darrisaw (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw has fully recovered from a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee that required surgery in October of 2024. He is expected to start at left tackle while Walter Rouse serves in a depth role on the Vikings' offensive line.
Sep 20, 2025
Trending toward season debut
Darrisaw (knee), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw is recovering from a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in October of 2024. He practiced in full Wednsday and Friday, setting him up for a potential return. Rapoport notes that Darrisaw is likely to start, but will be on some type of snap count, assuming he is active.
Sep 18, 2025
Misses practice Thursday
Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw was unavailable for practice Thursday, just one day after being a full participant to open the week. The offensive lineman hasn't appeared in a game since last October, and he'll likely have to return to practice Friday in order to have any chance to play Sunday in Cincinnati.
Sep 17, 2025
Full practice Wednesday
Darrisaw (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw has been sidelined for each of the team's first two games this season while he's continued to recover from a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in October of 2024. The 26-year-old's ability to log a full practice Wednesday is a major step in his recovery, and it's possible that Darrisaw could return to action Sunday in Cincinnati. Justin Skule (concussion) has been starting in Darrisaw's place at left tackle, but Skule was a non-participant at practice Wednesday after suffering a concussion in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2025
Sidelined for another week
Darrisaw (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Darrisaw practiced in full Wednesday, he's now in line to miss his 12th consecutive game Sunday. The 2021 first-round pick from Virginia Tech is still working back from tearing his ACL and MCL in October of 2024, but his return appears close. Justin Skule is expected to continue starting at left tackle until Darrisaw can suit up again.
Sep 11, 2025
Limited in Thursday's practice
Darrisaw (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw continues to work his way back from a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in October of 2024. Although he was listed as a full participant in two practices last week, he wasn't cleared to play in the Vikings' Week 1 win against the Bears. Friday's practice report will provide more clarity on Darrisaw's chances of suiting up against the Falcons on Sunday.
Sep 10, 2025
Deemed FP for Wednesday
Darrisaw (knee) was estimated as a full participant for Wednesday's practice walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw's estimation isn't necessarily a guarantee he'll suit up Week 2; he was also listed as a full practice participant twice last week but was inactive for Monday's win over the Bears. With that said, head coach Kevin O'Connell indicated Wednesday that Darrisaw is ramping up, so the veteran offensive lineman seems to have a chance of playing Sunday against Atlanta. Darrisaw is working his way back from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered last October.
Sep 8, 2025
Inactive for MNF
Darrisaw (knee) is inactive for Monday night's game versus Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw is still working his way back from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered last October. Justin Skule figures to draw the start at left tackle for Minnesota on Monday night.
Sep 6, 2025
Questionable for MNF
Darrisaw (knee) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw tore his ACL and MCL last October and continues to ramp up his recovery. He did get in a couple full practices to finish the week, but it remains to be seen if he'll be out there at left tackle for Monday night's Week 1 opener. Justin Skule would be the logical fill-in if Darrisaw can't play.
Sep 5, 2025
Estimated as full go for Friday
Darrisaw (knee) was estimated as a full practice participant Friday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although the Vikings didn't practice Friday, Darrisaw was estimated as a full participant, a major upgrade over his DNP at Thursday's session. The 2021 first-round pick is still recovering from a torn ACL and MCL sustained last October, but Friday's full practice estimation suggests he has a chance to return for Minnesota's regular-season opener Monday night against the Bears.
Sep 4, 2025
Opens week with DNP
Darrisaw (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACl and MCL in his left knee that he suffered last October. The 2021 first-rounder will have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury tag heading into Monday's regular-season opener against Chicago. Darrisaw is expected to serve as the Vikings' starting left tackle this season, but if he's unable to play, Justin Skule and Walter Rouse would be the top candidates to fill in at the blindside for Week 1.
Aug 21, 2025
Increases activity in practice
Darrisaw (knee) played a lot of snaps Wednesday in practice, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw tore both his ACL and MCL last October. He's been eased into action during training camp, but it increasingly sounds like he'll be ready for the start of the regular season.
Aug 2, 2025
Participates in 11-on-11 drills
Darrisaw (knee) participated in a few series of 11-on-11 work Friday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw tore both his ACL and MCL last October. It's not clear if he'll be ready for the start of the regular season as a result, but he's making significant progress.
Jun 10, 2025
Participating in minicamp
Darrisaw (knee) participated in Minnesota's minicamp session Tuesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This marks the first time that Darrisaw has returned to the field since tearing both his ACL and MCL last September. The 26-year-old now appears to be trending towards being fully healthy in time for the start of the regular season.
Feb 27, 2025
Progressing well in recovery
Darrisaw (knee) is trending in the right direction in his recovery from a torn ACL and MCL, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw underwent surgery in early November to address both ligament injuries in his left knee and Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell provided an update this week. O'Connell said that the offensive tackle is "absolutely killing it every step of the way" and that he is looking forward to "seeing how the spring and the summer go." It's unclear who will be under center for Minnesota in 2025, but Darrisaw will look to be back in action blocking the quarterback's blind side.
Nov 4, 2024
Undergoes surgery
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters that Darrisaw underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw will now be able to begin the recovery process after tearing his left ACL and MCL in the Vikings' Week 9 loss to the Rams. While Darrisaw remains sidelined for the remainder of the season, David Quessenberry is expected to continue serving as Minnesota's top left tackle.
Oct 25, 2024
Placed on IR
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters that Darrisaw tore his left ACL and MCL in Thursday night's loss Rams and was placed on injured reserve Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw's will miss the remainder of the 2024 season following Thursday night's injury. The Oklahoma State product had been playing like one of the best offensive tackles in football through the Vikings' first eight games, and he had signed a four-year, $113 million extension with the team this past offseason. With Darrisaw sidelined, expect David Quessenberry to take over protecting Sam Darnold's blindside for the rest of the year.
Oct 25, 2024
Leaves on crutches
Darrisaw (knee) was seen leaving the Vikings' locker room on crutches following Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Rams, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw suffered a knee injury just before halftime and immediately went to the locker room and did not return to the game. Coach Kevin O'Connell did not have further information Thursday night, but he did say he anticipated an update Friday.
Oct 24, 2024
Out Thursday
Darrisaw (knee) will not return to Thursday's game against the Rams, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle went to the locker room just before halftime. Darrisaw has started all seven of Minnesota's games this year. David Quessenberry is in for him.
Jul 23, 2024
Signs massive extension
Darrisaw and the Vikings agreed on a four-year, $113 million contract extension Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw still had two years remaining on his rookie contract after being selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but considering he's one of the best left tackles in the league, Minnesota was smart to lock him up long term. The offensive lineman will get $77 million in guaranteed money, which is the highest total for anyone at his position in the NFL.
Apr 29, 2024
Option exercised
The Vikings exercised Darrisaw's 2025 fifth-year option.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was the No. 23 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has started 39-of-41 games he's appeared in since entering the league. Darrisaw has yet to make a Pro Bowl or be named an All-Pro, but he's an above-average, rock-solid left tackle and will either protect Sam Darnold or J.J. McCarthy's blind side this upcoming season.
Jan 7, 2024
Ready to play
Darrisaw (illness) is active Sunday against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw popped up on the injury report after becoming ill and logged a DNP on Thursday before getting in a limited practice session Friday. The Virginia Tech product should be fully recovered now, with his ability to take the field, and will start at left tackle.
Nov 10, 2023
Practices in full
Darrisaw (groin) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year tackle out of Virginia Tech was able to log a full practice Friday after recording limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, and it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past his groin issue. Darrisaw is in line to return as Minnesota's left tackle this Sunday.
Nov 5, 2023
Inactive Sunday
Darrisaw (groin) will not play Sunday against the Falcons, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle practiced fully all week before getting added to the injury report Saturday with the questionable tag. David Quessenberry will start at tackle for Minnesota, per Goessling. Darrisaw started seven of the Vikings' first eight games.
Sep 22, 2023
Clear for Week 3
Darrisaw (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw injured his ankle in the Vikings' season opener against the Buccaneers, which was the reasons he was one of two Minnesota offensive linemen to not play 100 percent of the snaps in that contest. He then was active but didn't play Week 2 at Philadelphia. After following up limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full showing to cap this week, Darrisaw should be ready to retake his spot as the team's starting left tackle.
Sep 15, 2023
Still dealing with ankle issue
Darrisaw (ankle) did not play in Thursday's game against the Eagles, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 but appeared to be ready for the quick turnaround for Minnesota's Week 2 matchup. However, despite being active, he was unable to play. Darrisaw will have nine days to recover prior to the Vikings' Week 3 matchup against the Chargers.
Sep 14, 2023
Ready for Week 2
Darrisaw (ankle) is active for Thursday's contest with the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw will be back on the field Thursday after he exited the Vikings' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers early with an ankle injury. The left tackle will have to deal with Philadelphia's formidable front seven in Week 2.
Sep 13, 2023
Uncertain for Week 2
Darrisaw (ankle) is questionable for Thursday against the Eagles, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw exited the team's Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay with the injury, but he did ultimately return to the contest. However, the Virginia Tech product has not fully recovered and is in danger of missing the team's matchup with Philadelphia on a short week. If he is unable to take the field Thursday, Oli Udoh would likely draw the start at offensive tackle opposite Brian O'Neill.
Sep 11, 2023
Still bothered by ankle
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Darrisaw (ankle) was day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game at the Eagles, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw went into the medical tent during the first half of Minnesota's 20-17 loss versus Tampa Bay with an ankle injury Sunday, but he promptly returned to action and finished the game. Although it sounds like he might not yet be back to 100 percent, he still seems like a good bet to start in Week 2, at least at this point.
Sep 10, 2023
Returns versus Tampa Bay
Darrisaw (ankle) returned to the game versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw was in and out of the medical tent after he sustained an ankle injury in the first half, but, barring additional setbacks, he should be good to play out the remainder of Sunday's season opener.
Sep 10, 2023
Exits with injury
Darrisaw is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw sustained the injury in the first quarter. He played through it after two trips to the medical tent but his return is now questionable. Oli Udoh now takes over at left tackle.
Dec 13, 2022
Avoids injury report, should play
Darrisaw (concussion) was not listed on Tuesday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
With Darrisaw being able to avoid the injury report for the first time since Week 10 due to a concussion, he's now on track to return and start at left tackle when Minnesota hosts the Colts on Saturday.
Dec 12, 2022
Expected to return Week 15
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Darrisaw (concussion) is expected to suit up Saturday versus the Colts, Carmen Vitali of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw sustained his second concussion of the season Week 11 versus Dallas, and he was ruled inactive for precautionary reasons ahead of Sunday's loss to Detroit even though he'd already cleared concussion protocols. The second-year left tackle return comes at a crucial time for Minnesota, as backup Blake Brandel sustained a torn MCL vesus the Lions, according to O'Connell. Darrissaw's return should help shore up a Vikings offense line that ranks 24th in the NFL with 34 sacks given up this season.
Dec 11, 2022
Sitting out Sunday
Darrisaw (concussion) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw has cleared concussion protocols, but the team is taking a cautious approach and keeping him out for Sunday's game in Detroit. He'll work to be ready Week 15 against the Colts, while Blake Brandel should draw the start at left tackle against the Lions.
Dec 11, 2022
On track to sit out Week 14
Darrisaw (concussion), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, isn't expected to play, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Friday that Darrisaw cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but Minnesota apparently isn't yet comfortable having the 2021 first-round pick make his return to the field. Assuming Darrisaw winds up on the inactive list ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the Vikings are expected to turn to Blake Brandel to step in as their starting left tackle.
Dec 9, 2022
Clears protocol, questionable
Darrisaw (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw has cleared the concussion protocol and practiced in full Friday. That's a positive sign for his availability Sunday, though the Vikings may opt to take a cautious approach. If Darrisaw is unable to suit up, Blake Brandel will likely start at left tackle.
Dec 7, 2022
Logs limited activity
Darrisaw (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice despite being absent during the portion open to reporters, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday's session accounted for Darrisaw's first on-field activity since he sustained a concussion back in Week 11 against Dallas. The 315-pounder will have two more chances to ramp back up to full practice participation prior to this weekend's matchup versus Detroit.
Dec 2, 2022
Ruled out for Week 13
Darrisaw (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw will miss his second consecutive game with a concussion. He was held out of practice all week, so it's unclear when he may be to return to the field. In Darrisaw's absence, Blake Brandel will serve as Minnesota's starting left tackle.
Dec 1, 2022
Sits out practice Wednesday
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Darrisaw is still in concussion protocol and there is currently no timeline for his return this season, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw was forced out with a concussion during Minnesota's Week 11 loss to the Cowboys and was unable to clear protocols ahead of the Thanksgiving Day versus New England. The 23-year-old then did not participate during the first practice of Week 13 on Wednesday, so it appears he could be set to miss additional time moving forward. With Darrisaw's status up in the air, Blake Brendel should continue to operate as the Vikings' starting left tackle for the foreseeable future.
Nov 20, 2022
Won't play Thursday
Darrisaw (concussion) won't play Thursday against the Patriots, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw sustained his second concussion in as many weeks during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, and the Vikings will exercise caution with a short week ahead of the team's Thanksgiving Day matchup against New England. Blake Brandel will likely see increased playing time against the Patriots, while Darrisaw's next chance to suit up will be Dec. 4 against the Jets.
Nov 20, 2022
Ruled out with concussion again
Darrisaw will not return after sustaining a concussion during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After clearing league protocols ahead of this contest, Darrisaw suffered his second concussion in as many weeks Sunday. As a result, the second-year offensive tackle is now all but certain to sit out during Minnesota's matchup against New England on Thanksgiving day. With Darrisaw sidelined, Blake Brandel will likely step in at left tackle for the Vikings.
Nov 18, 2022
Ready to roll Sunday
Darrisaw (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw departed last Sunday's win over the Bills with a concussion, but he's since cleared protocols and expects to start at left tackle in the Week 11 matchup versus Dallas.
Nov 14, 2022
Exits win with concussion
Darrisaw left Sunday's 33-30 win over the Bills early with a concussion, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw suffered the head injury in the third quarter and was unable to return after it was determined to be a concussion. The left tackle will now enter concussion protocol and his availability for the Vikings' Week 11 contest against the Cowboys could be in question.
Jan 8, 2022
Back from COVID list
Darrisaw was activated off of the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was away from the team since Monday after being placed on the COVID list, returning in time to play in Week 18. Darrisaw will slot back in at starting left tackle as the Vikings take on the Bears to end the season Sunday.
Jan 3, 2022
Lands on COVID list
Darrisaw (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports, as a result of testing positive for the virus, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw has started every game that he's been healthy for this season. The rookie is now in danger of missing his sixth game on the year. If Darrisaw can not clear protocols in time, Oli Udoh would likely draw the start at left tackle Sunday against the Bears.
Dec 18, 2021
Listed as healthy for Monday
Darrisaw (ankle) did not receive an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against Chicago, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday coming off back-to-back missed games due to an ankle injury. The rookie, who took over as the Vikings' starting left tackle in Week 6, could prove an important piece along the offensive line heading into a matchup against a Bears defense that ranks fourth in sacks this season with 36.
Dec 9, 2021
Sitting again
Darrisaw (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw did not practice in any capacity leading up to the contest, so he'll miss his second consecutive game. Oli Udoh is projected to take over the starting left tackle role in Darrisaw's absence.
Dec 3, 2021
Ruled out for Week 13
Darrisaw (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw left the Vikings' Week 12 loss to the 49ers early and hasn't been able to practice this week, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out for Week 13. Rashod Hill, who played 16 snaps in Darrisaw's absence against San Francisco, will likely draw the start at left tackle against the Lions.
Oct 17, 2021
Starting Sunday
Darrisaw will make his first career start, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw, the 23rd overall selection in the 2021 draft, missed the first three weeks of the season with a groin injury. He returned in Week 4, but only played one special team snap. In Week 5 he saw 42 percent of the snaps at left tackle backing up Rashod Hill, but now has leapfrogged Hill on the depth chart.
Sep 29, 2021
Full participant in practice
Darrisaw (groin) was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw will hope to be available to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Browns after getting in his first full participation in practice Wednesday. The rookie will compete with Rashod Hill for snaps at left tackle now that he's close to being fully healthy.
Sep 24, 2021
Ruled out for Week 3
The Vikings listed Darrisaw (groin) as out for Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw has yet to suit up this season as he recovers from a minor groin procedure. The rookie first-round pick is expected to compete with Rashod Hill for the starting left tackle job when he is fully healthy.
Sep 17, 2021
Still out Sunday
Darrisaw (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw missed the season opener while continuing to recover from offseason core muscle surgery, and he'll also be sidelined for Week 2. He's been practicing as a limited participant and may need to put in a full session if he's going to make his NFL debut Week 3.
Sep 10, 2021
Will miss season opener
Darrisaw (groin) won't play in Sunday's season opener against the Bengals, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After undergoing core surgery this offseason, Darrisaw spent most of training camp getting back into shape. The tackle returned to his first practice since the surgery this past week. Darrisaw will miss Week 1 but he is slated to have a good chance to overtake the starting tackle job of Rashod Hill.
Sep 8, 2021
Practicing in limited capacity
Darrisaw (groin) is back at practice Wednesday for the first time since his Aug. 12 surgery, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw was spotted in pads for the first time since undergoing a minor groin procedure in August. The rookie first-round pick was limited to individual drills and his status for Week 1 is uncertain. When healthy, he is likely to operate as a swing tackle for the Vikings with a good chance at overtaking the starter -- Rashod Hill -- by the end of the season.
Aug 12, 2021
Undergoes minor procedure
Darrisaw underwent a minor groin procedure Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw underwent offseason core surgery but returned to practice Aug. 4. However, he was still bothered by the issue and required a second procedure to help address the lingering injury. Rashod Hill has been taking first-team reps in Darrisaw's absence, but the Vikings are hopeful that the 2021 first-rounder will be cleared to return in time to start Week 1 against the Bengals on Sept. 12.
Aug 4, 2021
Back from groin injury
Darrisaw (groin) was cleared to practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Darrisaw was eased into training camp while returning from offseason core surgery, but he's ready to going during the second week of camp. The 2021 first-round pick should compete for a starting job at offensive tackle now that he's healthy.
Jul 28, 2021
Overcoming groin injury
Darrisaw will be eased into training camp after he underwent core surgery this offseason, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. He has been dealing with a groin injury, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The exact details on Darrisaw's injury are not clear, but it's not thought to be a major setback. Still, it would be better to have him fully healthy for the start of camp since the 2021 first-round draft pick is expected to compete for a starting job.
