Coach expects full practice Thursday
Head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects Smack (calf) to practice without limitations Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, LaFleur added that he isn't concerned with Smack's mechanics being affected by the kicker's right calf injury based on Smack's performance at Wednesday's practice. If Smack returns to full participation Thursday after being limited Wednesday, that would put him in the clear to face the Vikings on Sunday.
