Vikings LT Darrisaw (knee) out rest of season

The Minnesota Vikings have lost left tackle Christian Darrisaw, one of their top players and among the best at his position in the NFL, for the season because of injuries to the ACL and MCL in his left knee, coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed Friday.

Darrisaw suffered the injury late in the first half of the Vikings’ 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. The Vikings placed him on injured reserve Friday afternoon and, in the corresponding move, activated tight end T.J. Hockenson to their 53-man roster from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

“He’s clearly one of our offensive pillars that we have leaned on a lot,” O’Connell said of Darrisaw, “and it’s going to be a significant loss. But we’ve all got to do a little bit more.”
