The Minnesota Vikings have been dealt an early blow with second-year wideout Ihmir Smith-Marsette being knocked out of the rest of the spring practices with a lower-leg injury.
According to coach Kevin O’Connell, per the Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson, Smith-Marsette suffered the injury at a recent practice.
It’s a disappointing turn of events for the former fifth-round draft pick, who is expecting to build on the flashes he showed as a rookie in 2021. The hope now for the team is to have him back on the field at some point in the summer.
