What’s Going on with Vikings Star Left Tackle Christian Darrisaw?

On Thursday, Christian Darrisaw tested his availability before kickoff at SoFi Stadium and was listed active but played only a couple of series before removing himself from the game.
After tearing his ACL and MCL, Christian Darrisaw manages playing time while an international swing through Dublin and London disrupted his recovery routine.
Darrisaw's week-to-week snaps have fluctuated markedly, with 63% vs Cincinnati Bengals, 100% vs Pittsburgh Steelers, 63% vs Cleveland Browns, 100% vs Philadelphia Eagles, and 18% vs Los Angeles Chargers, and he has not played full games consecutively.
Kevin O'Connell praised Christian Darrisaw's effort after the Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and said he feels positive about Darrisaw's status, with updates expected next week as the mini bye returns the team to a Sunday-to-Sunday schedule.
With plans to return to a Sunday-to-Sunday cadence, the Vikings coaching and medical staff aim to normalize Christian Darrisaw's recovery and leverage his elite left tackle status after his four-year extension.
