The Facts:
Smith has been notified by the NFL that he will not be reinstated next month, according to a source close to the suspended running back. Last June, Smith was suspended one year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Smith, 25, did not return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday. The Vikings and the NFL declined comment.
Reported by the San Jose Mercury News
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Without Smith, the Vikings will have Chester Taylor, Mewelde Moore, Ciatrick Fason and Adimchinobe Echemandu as the only running backs on their roster -- unless they add another via free agency or in this weekend's draft. ... Stay tuned. We'll have more on Smith when the Vikings or the league confirm this report.
