Vikings Rule Out Darrisaw, Van Ginkel and Okudah for Sunday Night vs. Falcons

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Darrisaw's designation reflects an NFL pregame-field policy rather than a setback in his knee recovery.

Overview

  • Left tackle Christian Darrisaw, OLB Andrew Van Ginkel and CB Jeff Okudah were ruled out on the Vikings’ final injury report for Sunday night.
  • Van Ginkel and Okudah remain in the NFL’s concussion protocol and were not cleared to play.
  • The team emphasized that Darrisaw’s status change is not medical and ties to league rules governing pregame field workouts.
  • Minnesota placed ILB Blake Cashman (hamstring) and RB Ty Chandler (knee) on injured reserve, sidelining both for at least four games.
  • Coaches signaled a larger role for second-year pass rusher Dallas Turner with Van Ginkel unavailable.
