The Minnesota Vikings faced a significant setback in their recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams, as left tackle Christian Darrisaw will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed disappointment over the injury, which occurred during the game when Rams safety Jaylen McCollough fell on Darrisaw's leg. The Vikings, now on a two-game losing streak after a strong 5-0 start, must find a way to replace Darrisaw's crucial role on the offensive line.
With Darrisaw's absence, veteran David Quessenberry stepped in, but the team is considering multiple options for the left tackle position moving forward, including potentially shifting left guard Blake Brandel or utilizing rookie Walter Rouse.
