Vikings Explore Options After Darrisaw Injury

Following Christian Darrisaw's season-ending knee injury, the Minnesota Vikings are exploring options to fill the left tackle position. Albert Breer has identified potential free agents D.J. Humphries, David Bakhtiari, and Charles Leno Jr. as candidates, while also suggesting internal moves such as shifting Brian O’Neill to left tackle or promoting Blake Brandel. With Darrisaw's history of injuries, Brandel, who has experience as a backup left tackle, is viewed as a viable option for the immediate future. Additionally, the Vikings could consider trading with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have depth at the left tackle position with Cam Robinson and Walker Little. Despite the challenges, the Vikings are hopeful that they can maintain their competitive edge in the NFC North as they reassess their offensive lineup.
