Still no practice Darrisaw (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Darrisaw tried to play through his knee injury in early December but was unable to suit up in Week 15 against Dallas. Head coach Kevin O'Connell didn't commit to a timeline for Darrisaw to return, though his status for Week 16 against the Giants looks to be in doubt.

Hopeful to return this season Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's "hopeful" Darrisaw (knee) will retake the field during the final stretch of the regular season, Alec Lewis of The Athletic...

Impact O'Connell called Darrisaw's injury "a week-to-week and day-to-day situation," making it difficult to ascertain an expected timetable for the standout left tackle's recovery. Darrisaw managed to play through his knee issue Week 14 but was unable to suit up Week 15 against the Cowboys after logging a DNP/DNP/LP practice slate. If he can't gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Giants, Justin Skule will stand to draw another start.

DECEMBER 16 • Associated Press

No go for SNF Darrisaw (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Impact Darrisaw will be forced to miss Week 15 as he tends to the knee injury that forced him to be less than 100 percent at practice throughout the week. Justin Skule is the top candidate to take over at left tackle versus Dallas.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Darrisaw (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Darrisaw was a limited participant in Friday's practice, upgrading from the non-participant status he held earlier in the week. If the left tackle is unable to suit up for Sunday's game, Justin Skule will likely start in his stead.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice again Thursday Darrisaw (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact Darrisaw hurt his foot Week 12 against Green Bay and didn't suit up Week 13 versus Seattle. He was able to return this past Sunday against the Commanders and logged an 80 percent offensive snap share in the blowout victory. It's not clear if Darrisaw has aggravated the knee issue, but he'll likely need to return to practice in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance of suiting up Sunday in Dallas.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Darrisaw (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Darrisaw returned to action for Minnesota's game against the Commanders in Week 14 and drew his usual start at left tackle, but it appears his status is uncertain again for Week 15. In the event that Darrisaw isn't able to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Justin Skule will figure to start at LR in his stead.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Washington Darrisaw (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Darrisaw has been cleared to return Sunday's from a three-game absence due to foot and knee injuries. He'll reclaim his starting job at left tackle, which means Justin Skule will revert to a reserve role for the Vikings' offensive line.

DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play vs. Commanders Darrisaw (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Washington.

Impact Darrisaw was unable to play in Week 13 at Seattle because of a foot injury, but it's a knee issue that has him in danger of sitting out again in Week 14. If he can't go Sunday, Justin Skule would figure to make another start at tackle opposite veteran Brian O'Neill.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Downgrades to DNP Darrisaw did not participate in practice Thursday due to a knee issue.

Impact Darrisaw did not play in this past Sunday's loss to Seattle due to a foot injury, but he was able to log a full practice session to begin this week of prep. However, he's now listed with a knee issue that caused him to be sidelined entirely Thursday. Darrisaw underwent knee surgery last November and has frequently appeared on the injury report this season for maintenance of the issue, so that could be the reason for his DNP again this week.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Full speed at practice Darrisaw (foot) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Darrisaw missed last week's loss to the Seahawks, but he appears ready to go for Week 14 versus the Commanders. The 2021 first-round pick will return to his spot as the starting left tackle.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 13 Darrisaw (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Darrisaw will miss his third game of the season due to injury. The left tackle was only able to log a single limited practice this week Friday, and it appears that was not sufficient for him to be able to suit up Sunday. Justin Skule will likely get the start at left tackle in Darrisaw's absence.

Could play Sunday Darrisaw (knee/foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Despite opening the Vikings' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, Darrisaw has a chance to play in Sunday's contest. The 2021 first-round pick from Virginia Tech has already missed two games this season due to injury, and if he's forced to miss his third in Week 13, expect Justin Skule to start at left tackle.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Darrisaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Darrisaw previously has dealt with a knee issue all season, but he injured his foot in last Sunday's loss to the Packers and was unable to return. Justin Skule replaced him in the lineup at left tackle against Green Bay.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Done for Week 12 due to foot issue Darrisaw (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Impact Since making his season debut Week 3, Darrisaw has been managing a knee issue that stems from last October's surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL. The talented offensive tackle is now dealing with a foot injury that has forced him to exit Sunday. Justin Skule has entered the game at left tackle in Darrisaw's stead.

Good to go for Sunday Darrisaw (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Darrisaw has been dealing with the knee issue all season but continues to play through it. He'll be out there protecting J.J. McCarthy's blind side while seeing plenty of Micah Parsons.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Thursday Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Impact Darrisaw sat out practice after being a full participant Wednesday, likely just receiving a day off to rest his knee. The offensive tackle will have another chance to log a full session Friday before the team squares off with Green Bay on Sunday.

Should start vs. Bears Darrisaw (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Darrisaw missed practice Thursday due to a lingering knee issue, but he'll be good to go again in Week 11. Minnesota's offense has found slightly more success through the air than on the ground so far this year, and the Bears' pass defense has left something to be desired, so Darrisaw's ability to protect rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy's blind side could be key come Sunday.
