The Minnesota Vikings will host the Buffalo Bills in primetime in Week 9 as they play each other with a lot on the line. The Vikings lost their undefeated record in Week 8 to the Detroit Lions, so they will be looking to get back on track against arguably the best team in the NFL.

Both teams are dealing with a handful of injuries that could swing the matchup in one team's favor or the other. In this piece, we are discussing the status of Christian Darrisaw.

Is Christian Darrisaw playing in Week 9?

With so much talk about who is playing quarterback for the Vikings, let's not forget about who is protecting them. Christian Darrisaw will be active for Week 9 against the Bills after dealing with a shoulder injury and resting earlier in the week. His being active versus inactive is one of the game-changing injuries the team deals with whenever he is on the injury report.
