Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw was ruled out of Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams due to a knee injury he suffered near the end of the first half. Darrisaw, who has been having a Pro Bowl-caliber season, was blocking with 35 seconds remaining when Rams safety Jaylen McCollough fell into his knee. Vikings signed Darrisaw to a five-year, $140 million contract extension this summer.

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw is out for the remainder of their road game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a left knee injury. Darrisaw was injured late in the first half while blocking a defender. David Quessenberry replaced him. Darrisaw, 25, signed a four-year contract extension worth up to $113 million with $77 million guaranteed.
In the second quarter, the Vikings made a risky decision by attempting a run from their own 3-yard line, but it quickly turned into a nightmare when running back Aaron Jones was tackled by Rams rookie safety Jaylen McCollough, causing him to roll over Christian Darrisaw's leg, resulting in immediate pain and a roll down on the field. At the SoFi stadium, fans felt tension as medical personnel rushed to Christian Darrisaw. They helped him stand up but soon realized he struggled to put weight on his leg. Darrisaw was seen limping off the field with help from medical officials.
Reporters asked Vikings head coach, Kevin O'Connell, about this latest injury during a post-game presser. O’Connell admitted that Christian Darrisaw is indeed suffering from a knee injury. However, he doesn’t “have an update” for now. The HC further stated that the team is keeping hopes, by saying, “….we’ll continue that evaluation here and then on into tomorrow. Keeping our fingers crossed that we get some positive news.”
