Christian Darrisaw Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) is officially active on Sunday for the Week 10 divisional battle against the Detroit Lions, the team announced. Darrisaw aggravated his knee injury in last Thursday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but he was able to put in a full practice this week and was expected to suit up after having extra time off to heal between games. It's great news for the Vikings offense with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) returning for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Still, Minnesota's offensive line has been a big question mark and could have a tough time protecting McCarthy against a strong Lions defensive front on the road at Ford Field.

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) will play in Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Darrisaw had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The 26-year-old is no stranger to injuries, as he missed two games near the start of the season and has played more than two-thirds of the snaps in just two contests so far. His return this week will provide a key reinforcement for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle), who is returning from a five-game absence.

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday Night's matchup against the Chicago Bears. Darrisaw tore his ACL and MCL in Week 8 of the 2024 season and has spent the offseason recovering from the major injury. He practiced at full capacity on Friday and continued drills on Saturday, though head coach Kevin O'Connell cautioned, "It's going to depend on how (Darrisaw) feels on Sunday." If Darrisaw plays, he's set to face off against Bears edge rusher Montez Sweat, who tallied 5.5 sacks last season. With the Vikings relying on J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, having their starting left tackle healthy is crucial for both pass protection and offensive consistency. Fantasy managers and game planners should monitor Darrisaw's status closely, as his availability will have a direct impact on McCarthy's performance and the Vikings' rushing attack.

The Minnesota Vikings listed offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) as a full participant for the team's walk-through on Friday prior to their season-opening game at Chicago. The big left tackle is less than a year removed from ACL surgery and did not practice Thursday, though his designation Friday was certainly a good sign. It will be worth monitoring the official injury report on Saturday, but all signs point to Darrisaw being available to protect new quarterback J.J. McCarthy when the Vikings begin the season.

Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw (knee) logged a DNP on Thursday for the team's first official practice ahead of their Week 1 tilt with the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Darrisaw has been recovering from a significant knee injury he suffered last September and has reportedly looked "really good," according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Still, Minnesota is playing it safe with its franchise tackle, and rightfully so, as he's an integral part of their offensive line. There's a chance the Virginia native is still able to suit up on Monday, but he'll likely need to log at least a limited session this week before doing so. Fellow OL Justin Skule would work in Darrisaw's stead if he were unable to play.

Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) worked in his first full-team drill of training camp on Wednesday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Darrisaw also took part in minicamp back in June for the first time since tearing both his ACL and MCL in September of last year. The Vikings understandably chose to take it slow with Darrisaw to open training camp in late July, but barring a setback during the preseason, the 26-year-old left tackle should be ready to go for the start of the 2025 regular season in early September. If the former 23rd overall pick in 2021 out of Virginia Tech is fully healthy, he is going to start at left tackle and protect the blind side of quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who missed his entire rookie season in 2024 due to a knee injury.

Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) is reportedly doing well in his recovery this offseason from a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee. Darrisaw had surgery on his knee in early November but is trending in the right direction after injuring his knee in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the 25-year-old offensive lineman is "absolutely killing it every step of the way." Still, Darrisaw has a ways to go in his recovery from a pretty serious knee surgery and won't be a lock to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season this fall. We should have a better idea of his progress and status for the start of 2025 when training camp rolls around in late July. When Darrisaw is ready to go, he could be protecting former first-rounder J.J. McCarthy's (knee) blind side after he missed all of his rookie season in 2024 due to a knee injury of his own.

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) was injured late in the second half of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams and subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The 25-year-old had previously been a beacon of availability, playing 100 percent of snaps in five of his six games this season. If Darrisaw is forced to miss extended time, David Quessenberry would step up as the Vikings' starting left tackle.

Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw and the team have agreed on a four-year contract extension worth up to $113 million, with $77 million in guaranteed money for the franchise tackle. A foundational piece for the Vikings since joining the team as a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the former Virginia Tech Hokie has started 39 of 41 games in three seasons. The pact for the 25-year-old Darrisaw includes $43.7 million at signing and will keep him in purple and gold for the foreseeable future as a protector for Sam Darnold and rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw is eligible for a contract extension, and while the Vikings certainly want to keep him around for the long haul, the team is in no rush to do so. It remains to be seen if the two sides can find common ground with two seasons still remaining on Darrisaw's rookie contract. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah explained that extensions after three seasons of a rookie deal are hard to come by. The team and player must work through old money, new money and overall length. Darrisaw is now represented by super-agent Drew Rosenhaus, who has an exceptional relationship with the Vikings. The 25-year-old former 23rd overall pick in 2021 out of Virginia Tech should eventually get something done to stick around in Minnesota, but it might take some time. He's started in 39 of the 41 games he's appeared in over his first three years.
