This opens up a three-week window for Smith to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster.
Smith, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Vikings back in 2019. He’s currently in the fourth year of his four-year, $5.798 million contract that included a $2.237 million signing bonus.
He’s set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2023.
In 2022, Smith appeared in seven games for the Vikings and caught 22 passes on 33 targets for 168 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
