Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will have an MRI on his left knee Monday, according to multiple reports.
Late in the third quarter of Sunday’s 34-7 win against the Houston Texans, former Vikings pass rusher Danielle Hunter was flagged for roughing the passer after wrapping up Darnold’s legs.
Darnold left the field under his own power and appeared to be in pain on the sidelines before returning to the game after sitting out just one snap, briefly replaced by Nick Mullens.
“It’s good, and that’s as much as I’m gonna say about that,” Darnold told Pro Football Talk about the status of his knee on Sunday night.
Darnold, 27, finished with 181 yards and four touchdown passes as the Vikings improved to 3-0 with the victory in Minneapolis.
In his first season with Minnesota, the former No. 3 overall draft pick has completed 67.9 percent of his passes for 657 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Vikings play the NFC North rival Packers (2-1) in Green Bay on Sunday.
