Minnesota Vikings left guard Donovan Jackson will likely miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a torn meniscus in his knee during a game against Miami. The injury, which requires surgery, is a significant blow to an already struggling offensive line that has faced multiple setbacks this year. Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced the news on Monday and also mentioned uncertainty around left tackle Christian Darrisaw’s availability for the upcoming game due to a concussion sustained in the same match.
