Christian Darrisaw
24-Year-Old
Option exercised
The Vikings exercised Darrisaw's 2025 fifth-year option Monday.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was the No. 23 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has started 39 of 41 games he's appeared in since entering the league. Darrisaw has yet to make a Pro Bowl or be named an All-Pro, but he's an above-average, rock-solid left tackle and will either protect Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy's blind side this upcoming season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return Saturday
Darrisaw is expected to return from a concussion for a Week 15 game against the Colts, Carmen Vitali of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The Vikings' starting left tackle has missed the last three games after suffering concussions in consecutive weeks against the Bills and Cowboys. Having him back in action will be welcome news for Kirk Cousins, as including the Week 11 contest in which Darrisaw exited early, the quarterback has been sacked 13 times over the last four games without the 2021 first-round pick protecting his blind side.
