Optimism for Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw to start in the team's regular-season opener on September 8th kicked up a notch on Wednesday when the 26-year-old offensive lineman took part in 11-on-11 drills for the first time in this summer's training camp.
Prior to Wednesday, Darrisaw, who is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last October 24th, had only participated in individual drills since the start of Minnesota's 2025 training camp.
So, it was certainly a pleasant surprise to see the Vikings' starting left tackle on the field for team drills during Wednesday's practice, and then it also didn't take long for him to remind everyone why the team signed him to a $104 million contract last year.
