Minnesota Vikings left guard Donovan Jackson likely will miss the rest of the regular season because of a torn meniscus in his knee that will require surgery. The promising second-year player was injured in the first quarter during the win over Miami. Jackson was a first-round draft pick in 2025 out of Ohio State. His injury was another setback for an offense that has struggled to consistently move the ball despite the team’s 4-0 start.
Left tackle Christian Darrisaw also began the week in the concussion protocol following a neck injury and another hit after returning to the game.
