NFC North watch: Vikings CB suffers torn ACL in first practice

Vikings Mekhi Blackmon Lions

Unfortunate injury news for a division rival of the Lions as Minnesota Vikings cornerback Mekhi Blackmon suffered a torn ACL during the team’s first day of practice Wednesday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the news.

Blackmon appeared in 15 games and started three as a rookie last season. Blackmon recorded 41 tackles (34 solo) and an interception with eight passes defended. The Vikings selected Blackmon in the third round of the 2023 draft out of USC.

This likely prompts the Vikings to be in the market for a cornerback for depth behind Byron Murphy and recently signed Shaq Griffin.
