Vikings insider shares crucial details surrounding the mystery of Christian Darrisaw's knee

It essentially boils down to maintenance on the knee. It's not crazy that Darrisaw could miss this game due to some excess swelling in the knee, which is what likely happened here. It wouldn't be the biggest deal to see Darrisaw miss the game because it's on a short week and it's about the rest of the season, not just a one game sample size.

If he doesn't play, it will likely be Justin Skule that gets the nod. He has started games at both left and right tackle. It should be Blake Brandel, but the Vikings haven't been too willing to kick him back outside after moving him inside to guard last season.

Thursday afternoon will tell us more about what Darrisaw's status will be, and it could be crucial in deciding who wins the game.
