Mekhi Blackmon News
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Mekhi Blackmon (knee) suffered a torn ACL on the first day of training camp on Wednesday. He is likely to miss the entire 2024 season. Needless to say, this is an unfortunate development for the organization and the second-year defensive back. After being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Blackmon posted 41 tackles, one fumble recovery, one interception, and eight pass deflections in 15 games as a rookie. His absence could give Andrew Booth Jr. extra reps and a better chance for snaps as a depth corner in 2024. Since Minnesota was counting on Blackmon to fill a depth role, it wouldn't be a surprise if they bring in a veteran free agent before training camp wraps up.

Mekhi Blackmon Avoids Serious Injury
Minnesota Vikings defensive back Mekhi Blackmon (upper body) was forced to exit early during Thursday's practice due to injury. He appeared to have suffered an upper body injury and left to the locker room. After further testing, the Vikings believe that Blackmon has avoided any serious injuries. That is great news considering Blackmon has been playing with the starting defense. The third-round pick could end up having a legitimate role on this defense to start the season.
