SEATTLE — As rookie quarterback Max Brosmer makes the first start of his career on Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field, he will do so without the franchise cornerstone protecting his blindside.
In the hours leading up to kickoff between between the Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks, star left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee/foot) was officially ruled out after originally being listed as questionable. The loss of Darrisaw hits even harder when considering rookie left guard Donovan Jackson (ankle) had already been ruled out earlier this week.
In place of Darrisaw and Jackson up front, the Vikings will turn to reserve left tackle Justin Skule and reserve left guard Blake Brandel. That could make life tough on Brosmer against a top flight pass rush on the other end.
The other inactives for the Vikings include receiver Adam Thielen, tight end Ben Yurosek, defensive lineman Elijah Williams, and safety Theo Jackson. It’s worth noting that Thielen was not on the injury report this week.
