Vikings expect Irv Smith Jr. to be at full strength at first camp practice

The first practice of Vikings training camp on Wednesday will include an unrestricted Irv Smith Jr., according to head coach Kevin O'Connell, who was pleased with what he saw from the fourth-year tight end when Smith reported to camp early with other rehabbing veterans.

"To see him moving around [Monday], we got out on the grass with those early-report guys," O'Connell said Tuesday. "You can tell the work has been put in. You can tell there's a real mind-set for Irv, and I'm really excited about him. So we're expecting him to be full [go] to start.
