The Facts:
If he is going to use his time in the CFL to eventually get back onto an NFL roster, it appears that Smith had better get back onto the field. The former Viking has been sidelined by a foot injury and has missed virtually all of training camp, which began last week. "I can't put him on the team if I haven't seen him perform," Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach Doug Berry said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The addition of Smith was supposed to be a significant move for Winnipeg. And it was supposed to be meaningful for Smith, because it might mean a second chance at an NFL career. But he has been hampered by the foot injury since his arrival at camp and, while he has made some progress, the injury is only about 75 percent to 80 percent rehabilitated and it now appears that Winnipeg officials' patience is wearing thin. Smith is currently listed fourth on the Blue Bombers' depth chart.
