The Minnesota Vikings are looking to build on an impressive 2024 season where they won 14 games in the regular season. And on Wednesday, they added back an important piece to their offensive line back into the mix, which could go a long way in doing just that.
Last October, Darrisaw saw his 2024 season come to an unfortunate end due to injury, suffering a season-ending torn ACL and MCL in his left knee.
It has been a long road to recovery for Darrisaw following the injury. But thankfully, Darrisaw was finally able to take part in 11-on-11 drills for the Vikings on Wednesday, a sign that he is on track to be ready for the start of the season.

Naturally, there were plenty of reactions from Vikings fans to this news, sharing their excitement about Darrisaw’s return to action.
love to see it, way earlier than I expected
having Darrisaw back at 100% for week one would be huge, and if he can play with the starters through the joint practices this summer that’s even better https://t.co/Uwumpvljax

At just 26 years of age, Darrisaw should very well have plenty left in the tank unless the injury he suffered in 2024 ends up being a career-altering one that impacts his skills on the field. So at least on paper, expect for Darrisaw to have a pretty big impact on a Vikings team that should look to contend in 2025.
