An MRI revealed that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold had no structural damage to his left knee, the team announced Monday.

Darnold is expected to be fine for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Darnold sustained the injury on Sunday but missed just one play in the third quarter. He threw for four touchdown passes in the Vikings' 34-7 victory over the Houston Texans.

Darnold, starting for the Vikings this season after rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy underwent season-ending surgery for a right knee injury, is enjoying a career renaissance with Minnesota.
