Minnesota Vikings 2021 first-round draft pick, offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw, reportedly underwent a minor procedure in Philadelphia on Thursday.

After trading down in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings and their fans were thrilled when former Virginia Tech offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw was still on the board for them to grab when it eventually came time for the team to make their first selection.

With the departure of veteran left tackle Riley Reiff earlier this year, many assumed Darrisaw would be able to step right in and open up the 2021 season with the Vikings in Reiff’s old role.
