No one would have reproached Christian Darrisaw for having missed the Vikings du Minnesota“MINICAMP compulsory. Darrisaw underwent ACL and MCL tears at the end of the season in the defeat of the team on October 24 Rams of Los Angeles. However, he was on the training ground on Tuesday, participating in exercises, carrying a massive knee splint on his left knee.
It is remarkable to see a player practice this shortly after a significant knee injury. What makes it even more incredible is that Darrisaw measures 6 feet 5 inches and 315 pounds. It is a lot of mass for a knee to be supported.

This does not mean that Darrisaw will be ready to go at the start of the season. The pads and strikes are not authorized at this time of year, which is more essential to line editors than any other position. Darrisaw may therefore not be allowed to contact even when the training camp begins next month.
But that does not mean that it is not a good sign to see him again on the ground. Darrisaw had another exceptional season in 2024, displaying a note of 81.4 pff before being injured.
Vikings sign The former Buccaneers of Tampa Bay attack Justin Skule in March, which started 17 games since its writing in 2019. Skule could start if necessary, but it would be a significant degraded by Darrisaw.

No one will benefit more from Darrisaw on the ground than JJ McCarthy, who should make his NFL debut on September 8. He may not have Darrisaw that evening, but it seems that the left tackle could return to the departure training earlier than expected.
