The Vikings will have to play without safety Harrison Smith on Sunday.

Smith has been ruled out for their NFC North matchup with the Lions. He has been in the concussion protocol all week and will resume working towards clearance next week.

Josh Metellus and first-round pick Lewis Cine could see playing time along side Camryn Bynum in Smith’s place.

The Vikings also ruled cornerback Andrew Booth out. The second-round pick also missed the Week Two loss to the Eagles because of a quad injury.

Linebacker Eric Kendricks is the only player with questionable tag this week. He was added to the injury report on Friday as a limited participant with a toe injury.

  1. I am a big fan of the Hitman, but he has lost a step or two. I think this will be his last year in a Viking uniform. I was hoping we would draft Antoine Winfield Jr. but we picked Jeff Gladney instead. Thanks Spielman/Zim. To get JJ and Winfield in the same draft would have been one heck of a draft.

  2. This game will not be won or lost by a strong safety, it will be won or lost by the D-line and LBs. The Lions’ O-line is good and the front 7 needs to play its best as a counter. Well, that and Cousins needs to get the deer in the headlights thing out of his system. . . .

    This game will be lost by a bad rookie head coach that’s in way over his head.
    ——————————————-

    And that rookie head coach destroyed the Packers and the only reason the are 1-1 is because the Packers had a slump buster against the Bears. The Packers are no better than the Lions or the Vikings. By they time the WR corp gets it together it will be week 5 or 6. Dont want to hear excuses about Jenkins, Bak or the Lizard man. Packers may not even make the play offs……either the Lion sot the Vikes win the division….eat the cap money bro!

    That rookie head coach destroyed and humiliated your team two weeks ago.
