Source: Vikings rookie Christian Darrisaw seeing core specialist for second opinion on groin injury

The Vikings' top draft pick, rookie tackle Christian Darrisaw, was away from the team Wednesday because he was in Philadelphia for a second medical opinion on his nagging groin injury, a league source told the Star Tribune.

Darrisaw, the 23rd overall pick out of Virginia Tech, was seeing Dr. Bill Meyers at the Vincera Institute, the source added. Meyers is the doctor who operated on Darrisaw in January. He's a well-known core specialist who has treated many professional athletes.

Darrisaw has yet to participate in training camp beyond individual offensive line drills. He's not expected to participate in Thursday's joint practice with the Broncos, the last training camp practice, and has already been ruled out by head coach Mike Zimmer for Saturday's preseason opener against Denver at U.
