Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick Christian Darrisaw has second surgery on groin

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings rookie left tackle Christian Darrisaw is still struggling with the groin injury that has sidelined him throughout training camp.

Darrisaw underwent a minor procedure on his core muscle Thursday morning in Philadelphia, a source confirmed to ESPN. This is Darrisaw's second time undergoing surgery since January to repair a groin injury that has limited the first-round pick throughout the offseason and in training camp.

Darrisaw was absent from Wednesday's joint practice with the Denver Broncos because he was seeing Dr. William Meyers, the founder of the Vincera Institute in Philadelphia that specializes in the treatment of core muscle injuries.
