Seahawks' Geno Smith Could Play vs. Vikings After 'Optimistic' Tests on Knee Injury

Despite exiting the Seattle Seahawks' matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday due to a knee injury, quarterback Geno Smith could be ready to go for next week's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said Smith will practice this week and is optimistic he can play on Sunday.

"We're fortunate," Macdonald said, per ESPN's Brady Henderson. "A lot of positive, optimistic signs coming out of the tests. Geno's a beast, man. He's in here working out in the morning, working through it. I know he's still feeling it, but this guy's tough as nails and hopefully, we'll see him practice throughout the week with [optimism] in him being ready for the game.
