Questionable
Injury Knee - ACL + MCL
Est. Return 8/1/2025
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, injuries he suffered in a Week 8 loss to the Rams. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that the offensive tackle is "absolutely killing it every step of the way," adding that he is looking forward to "seeing how the spring and the summer go." While the Vikings' quarterback situation for 2025 remains up in the air for now, Darrisaw will be tasked with protecting the signal-caller's blind side.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension seems likely
Darrisaw and the Vikings seem likely to agree to a contract extension, but it may not happen until next offseason, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle will be playing on his rookie deal through 2025 after having his fifth-year option picked up in April, but both sides are interested in having Darrisaw remain in Minnesota for the long haul. The 23rd overall pick in the 2021 Draft also now has Drew Rosenhaus as his agent, and Rosenhaus has an excellent relationship with the Vikings' front office. With no incentive to get a deal done quickly, however, the team will likely make extending Darrisaw a priority after the 2024 campaign.
