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 a left knee injury.
Darrisaw tore his left ACL and MCL late in the first half of the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. Tests performed Friday in Minnesota revealed the necessity for season-ending surgery.
Veteran David Quessenberry replaced him Thursday night and would be the Vikings' likeliest option to fill the position for the duration of the season.
