Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Signs massive extension
Rotowire
Darrisaw and the Vikings agreed on a four-year, $113 million contract extension Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Darrisaw still had two years remaining on his rookie contract after being selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but considering he's one of the best left tackles in the league, Minnesota was smart to lock him up long term. The offensive lineman will get $77 million in guaranteed money, which is the highest total for anyone at his position in the NFL.

Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Option exercised
Rotowire
The Vikings exercised Darrisaw's 2025 fifth-year option.
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.

Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Cleared for Week 3
Rotowire
Darrisaw (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
Darrisaw injured his ankle in the Vikings' season opener against the Buccaneers, which was the reason he was one of two Minnesota offensive linemen to not play 100 percent of the snaps in that contest. He then was active but didn't play Week 2 at Philadelphia. After following up limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full showing to cap this week, Darrisaw should be ready to retake his spot as the team's starting left tackle.

Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Uncertain for Week 2
Rotowire
Darrisaw (ankle) is questionable for Thursday against the Eagles, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Darrisaw exited the team's Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay with the injury, but he did ultimately return to the contest. However, the Virginia Tech product has not fully recovered and is in danger of missing the team's matchup with Philadelphia on a short week. If he is unable to take the field Thursday, Oli Udoh would likely draw the start at offensive tackle opposite Brian O'Neill.
