Heading into Sunday’s game, the Minnesota Vikings didn’t have an expansive injury report. Both Harrison Smith and Andrew Booth Jr. were ruled out on Friday with Eric Kendricks being limited in practice with a toe injury. He is listed as questionable for Sunday but should play.
Going into Sunday, there was questions on who would start at safety for Smith. Would it be first-round pick Lewis Cine or third-year player Josh Metellus? Because of the investment in Cine, you would think that he would get the start but Metellus was the one who came in for Smith and outsnapped Cine 10-1.
