EAGAN, Minn. — Christian Darrisaw has steadily worked his way back to the football field, and his post-practice smile Friday said it all.
The Vikings left tackle suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 8 last year but has successfully progressed through rehab, then slowly reintegrated into individual drills, then this week took some full-team reps.
Darrisaw said it feels natural being back on the grass doing what he does best.
“I feel like it’s instilled in me. This is what I’ve been doing my whole life, playing football,” he told media members. “Being away from the game, knowing that things aren’t over yet, there’s a lot of football still left, and just fighting through that — my teammates, myself, my family, and God just leading the way.
“Truly trusting the trainers and everything they were telling me to do has led me to this moment,” Darrisaw added. “And it’s really a blessing to be here now. Being able to put on these pads and be back out there on the field.”
