Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith underwent offseason surgery on an ankle that caused him to miss two games at the end of the 2016 campaign, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Smith initially sustained the injury in Minnesota's 17-15 loss to Dallas on Dec. 1 and missed the next two contests. The 28-year-old returned to play the Vikings' final two games of the season and was credited with five tackles while participating in his second Pro Bowl on Jan. 30.
