<p>The Minnesota Vikings have one of the best left tackles in the NFL, Christian Darrisaw. A devastating knee injury cut short his 2024 season, and there has been doubt cast over his readiness for Week 1 of the 2025 season. If he’s not ready, the Vikings have the right man in place to deputize for Darrisaw in Justin Skule.</p>
<p><strong>The Vikings have the right man to deputize for a recovering starter.</strong></p>
<p>Darrisaw tore both the ACL and MCL in his left knee during the Week 8 game against the Los Angeles Rams. He arrived at mandatory minicamp last month in full gear and practicing with his teammates. The outlook was looking good for his return for the start of the season. Vikings play-by-play commentator and Voice of the Vikings, Paul Allen, predicted that Darrisaw may be good to go in Week 1.</p>
