As the Vikings turn their attention to a road matchup with the Giants, the condition of their offensive line has become one of the week’s biggest storylines.

Minnesota faces a tough New York defensive front, and how healthy the group up front can get over the next few days may go a long way toward determining Sunday’s outcome.

Three of the team’s five starting offensive linemen, left tackle Christian Darrisaw, center Ryan Kelly, and right tackle Brian O’Neill were listed as did not participate in the estimated report, each dealing with lower-body issues.

Darrisaw continues to manage the lingering effects of a serious knee injury suffered in October 2024.

This ailment has followed him throughout the season and kept him out of last week’s game.

Kelly, who already endured a lengthy absence earlier this year due to multiple concussions, is now battling a knee problem that clouds his availability.

O’Neill, meanwhile, is dealing with heel soreness, though head coach Kevin O’Connell expressed optimism and noted that O’Neill has been the line’s steadiest performer.
