The Minnesota Vikings got some nice production from rookie wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette towards the end of the 2021 season, and the hope is that he could carry that momentum into his second season. Unfortunately, he’s going to be on the shelf until Training Camp gets underway.
Smith-Marsette was seen at Vikings’ OTAs recently in a walking boot, and head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed that he will miss the remainder of spring practices with a lower leg injury.
Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round pick of the Vikings in the 2021 NFL Draft, and while the numbers he put up as a whole don’t jump off the page.
