RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith plans to play this week against the Minnesota Vikings despite the right knee injury that kept him from finishing the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.
"I'm getting better every day," Smith said Thursday. "Looking forward to Sunday."
He later answered in the affirmative when asked whether he expects to play against Minnesota, which was already seeming likely after Smith was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Smith went down midway through the third quarter against Green Bay when he took a low hit from linebacker Edgerrin Cooper.
