EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings safety Harrison Smith missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury, and his status for Sunday’s game in Jacksonville is in question.
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer spoke to the Twin Cities media Wednesday and said he wasn’t about to rule out Smith against the Jaguars, much less for the rest of the season when asked about a report on the safety’s status.
“I know Harrison Smith is a pretty tough guy, and he plays all the time,” Zimmer said. “When he’s hurt, he plays. He always plays, so I don’t care about reports.
