For Mekhi Blackmon, it was insanely disappointing that at the start of training camp in 2024, he went down with an injury, and later it was revealed that the injury was a torn ACL. This injury forced him to miss the entire season, and now he is back with a vengeance.
According to The Athletic's Alec Lewis, defensive coordinator Brian Flores has Blackmon running drills with the second team defense, as that is to be expected coming off a major injury.
But Blackmon has the potential. He is back for Minnesota's 2025 training camp, ready to roll, and ready to prove that he belongs on the field helping the team win.
