MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw will have season-ending surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left knee. It's the latest bad news for a team was undefeated a week ago but has since endured a series of setbacks. Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Friday that Darrisaw tore his ACL and MCL during Thursday night's loss at the Los Angeles Rams. Darrisaw was placed on injured reserve. Veteran David Quessenberry filled in for Darrisaw on Thursday, but the Vikings may try to acquire another tackle. Tight end T.J. Hockenson was activated to the active roster. He tore the same ligaments last season.
