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

Rotowire
Darrisaw (knee), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Darrisaw has missed the Vikings' first two games of the season while completing his recovery from October 2024 surgery to address a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, but he looks on track to make his 2025 debut after turning in full practices Wednesday and Friday. Assuming Darrisaw is cleared to play when Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the 26-year-old will likely start at left tackle, though Rapoport notes that his snaps could be managed to some extent.

Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Deemed FP for Wednesday
Rotowire
Darrisaw (knee) was estimated as a a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

With that said, head coach Kevin O'Connell indicated Wednesday that Darrisaw is ramping up, so the veteran offensive lineman seems to have a chance of playing Sunday against Atlanta. Darrisaw is working his way back from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered last October.
