Report: Vikings 1st-round pick Christian Darrisaw in Philadelphia for medical procedure

KSTP Sports was the first to confirm that Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw is in Philadelphia to see a specialist as his return from core muscle surgery continues to be an issue.

The first-round pick also had a minor medical procedure done while he was in Philadelphia on Thursday.

There’s optimism that Darrisaw can recover quickly and be ready for Week 1 of the NFL season, KSTP Sports confirms.

Darrisaw has yet to participate in training camp beyond individual offensive line drills, after seeing some non-padded work in the team’s mandatory minicamp.
