Vikings safety Harrison Smith walked around the locker room on Friday with crutches and a walking boot on his left foot.

Head coach Mike Zimmer said Smith received an MRI that showed no significant damage in the ankle he injured on a safety blitz with 2:49 left in the first quarter. An offensive lineman rolled up on his ankle on the play, which ended in a sack by defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd.

"Just got rolled up on, so we'll see where I'm at [Saturday]," Smith said

Smith said the ankle was swollen this morning after playing the entire game. He was one of five defensive players to play all 54 snaps in the 42-10 blowout loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday. Smith typically gets his ankles taped underneath his sock, which is standard. During the game, Smith was taped up twice – once over his sock and once over his cleat – to stabilize the ankle.

"When you're excited to play, you don't feel much," Smith said.

Patterson injures hip in loss: Zimmer reiterated that wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson will be fine after suffering a hip injury on the opening kickoff return in the second half. Patterson attempted to return but was advised to sit out with the Packers controlling the game.

After just two catches for eight yards on four targets, Zimmer was asked whether the Vikings should utilize him more offensively.

"It's a little of both," Zimmer said. "We need to get him more involved than what we are but actually I thought he did some good things last night. He didn't obviously catch as many balls as we would've liked or anything like that, but I thought he improved on being a receiver [Thursday]."

Greenway still recovering: Linebacker Chad Greenway said he still wouldn't have played if the Packers game was on Sunday instead of Thursday. He missed his second consecutive game due to a hand and rib injury. Greenway said he's not sure about his status yet for next Sunday's home game against the Lions.

"I wasn't able to do my job taking punches, getting off blocks, making tackles, running, walking, sneezing, coughing, laughing," Greenway said. "Time is the only thing that can cure it."
