Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw expected to start against the Saints

Joshua Dobbs got some good news on the injury front two days ahead of his first start as a Viking.

Left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who missed Dobbs' debut in Atlanta last week, will start. He had full participation in Friday's practice and was not given an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Saints at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Meanwhile, tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) and receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) are on schedule to play. They've been listed as questionable along with guard Chris Reed (foot), linebacker Brian Asamoah II (ankle) and receiver Justin Jefferson, who won't play as he eases back from the hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve the past four games.
