The Minnesota Vikings received the worst possible injury news on superstar offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw, who injured his knee in Thursday night’s road game against the Los Angeles Rams.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Christian Darrisaw will require surgery on his injured knee and is out for the season. It’s the latest unfortunate break for the 2021 first-round pick, who missed a total of 10 games over his first three seasons.
Darrisaw suffered a knee injury in the second quarter and did not return. The Vikings’ offensive line struggled considerably without their star left tackle, as quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked twice in the fourth quarter in a 30-20 defeat.
The 5-2 Vikings have been one of football’s biggest surprises of the 2024 season, thanks to a balanced offense and an opportunistic defense. But the Vikings have now dropped two in a row and must get by without Christian Darrisaw, one of football’s premier offensive linemen.
