For the entire duration of their 5-8 season , the Minnesota Vikings have had a singular constant. The offensive line can get, stay, or remain healthy. Despite having played 13 games, just two the team has had their full starting offensive line.
Christian Darrisaw, who is still working his way back to 100% after suffering a season-ending knee surgery last year, remains a weekly question . He was a game-time decision last week against the Washington Commanders, and his status is in doubt once again.

On Wednesday the Minnesota Vikings held their first full practice of the week . Darrisaw was listed as "DNP" due to his knee. It may have been of little concern had he been on the field Thursday, but instead he logged his second-straight did not practice designation.

Darrisaw has missed three games this year , but the weekly maintenance has been an ongoing issue all year. It would be disappointing to see the starting left tackle regress health wise, but Minnesota also isn't in a spot where they should force him onto the field.

J.J. McCarthy's development remains the key focal point for the Minnesota Vikings the rest of the way. Obviously the complete health of his offensive line impacts that as well. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah spent a bunch of money on the group this year only for it to go up in flames.
Donovan Jackson, Theo Jackson, and Levi Drake Rodriguez all were upgraded to full participants. After not participating yesterday, T.J. Hockenson got in a limited session. It also looks like Ty Chandler will be back for the Vikings on Sunday .
