After last Thursday’s game, Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith was seen leaving U.S. Bank Stadium on crutches and his left ankle in a walking boot. No one was able to determine if his injury was serious or not since he finished last week’s game without any signs of a significant ankle problem.
But unfortunately for the Vikings, Smith’s injury is indeed serious enough that it will prevent him from playing this Sunday when the team heads to Jacksonville to play the Jaguars.
Minnesota’s safety has a grade 3 ankle sprain that will keep him out of this week’s game and possibly even the rest of the regular season according to Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press.
