Tyron Smith Injury
After reports originally said Smith tore his left hamstring in practice on Wednesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday morning that Smith actually suffered an avulsion fracture of the knee which likely force him to miss most or all of the 2022 season.
Video of Smith’s injury in practice shows him slipping and falling over as he made contact on a run block. He reportedly left the practice field under his own power without a significant limp, but that didn’t stop the bad news.
This is also a similar injury to the one New York Jets tackle Mekhi Becton suffered earlier this month. The Jets have already ruled out Becton for the season after placing him on injured reserve.
