EAGAN, Minn. — Vikings star left tackle Christian Darrisaw will need surgery on his knee and miss the rest of the season, Head Coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed Friday.
The fourth-year pro suffered a knee injury Thursday night just before halftime in Minnesota’s 30-20 loss at the Los Angeles Rams. Darrisaw was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve Friday as the Vikings activated tight end T.J. Hockenson from the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.
Ever an optimist, O’Connell was “holding out hope last night that maybe the imaging would feel a less significant injury, but unfortunately, that is not the case.”
“He did sustain a significant injury to his left knee, and it will require season-ending surgery,” O’Connell added after an MRI revealed ACL and MCL damage. “We will determine the best course of action in regards to the procedure that will repair the injury, and I know C.D. will be right back where he where he was this year, which is one of the best left tackles in football playing at a really high level.
“I love everything about the progression of his career up until this moment, and he’s got great folks around him, both teammates and our medical staff that will spearhead an effort to get C.D. back with us as soon as possible,” O’Connell continued. “But for right now, I’m just really thinking about Christian. He really developed into one of our core leaders … one of our offensive pillars that we have leaned on a lot. And it’s going to be a significant loss, but we’ve all got to do a little bit more.”
