Minnesota Vikings fans react to a brutal TNF loss to the Chargers as Carson Wentz struggles and the defense no-shows in primetime meltdown.

The Minnesota Vikings were all-in on developing quarterback J.J. McCarthy this season with the belief they could insulate him from some of the natural struggles of inexperience by surrounding him with a stacked veteran team and a savvy coaching staff.

The Vikings' inactive report ahead of tonight's game against the Chargers in Los Angeles includes good and bad news on their offensive line. Star left tackle Christian Darrisaw is active and will play. However, right tackle Brian O'Neill is inactive and will not. Both came into this game questionable due to knee injuries.

The Minnesota Vikings get good injury news on starting offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw hours before their Week 9 game.

The Minnesota Vikings will visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, pitting defensive coordinator Brian Flores' unit against QB Justin Herbert.

The best-case scenario is for Darrisaw and O'Neill to play, which would give the Vikings four of the five original starters on the offensive line. But one has to think Minnesota will proceed with caution Thursday night, especially if they're aiming to put J.J. McCarthy back in at quarterback next week against the Detroit Lions.

The Minnesota Vikings have lost Christian Darrisaw to injury yet again, in their TNF matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
