The Vikings remain undefeated at 4-0, but they will have to deal with some injuries along their offensive line.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his Monday press conference that left guard Donovan Jackson suffered a torn meniscus and will likely miss the rest of the regular season.
Jackson is set to undergo surgery to repair the injury.
O’Connell also noted that left tackle Christian Darrisaw is in the concussion protocol after Sunday’s win over Miami.
But tight end Ben Yurosek and offensive lineman Michael Jurgens are set to return to practice this week. Both players are currying on injured reserve.
The Vikings will be on the road to play the Saints on Sunday.
