Minnesota Vikings' Cameron Smith will need an open-heart surgery after discovering a serious condition when he tested positive for the coronavirus disease.

Minnesota Vikings linebacker will have to miss the entire 2020 seasons due to the recently discovered heart condition.

Smith announced on Saturday the diagnosis through an Instagram post. He said that the said heart surgery would fix a bicuspid aortic valve.

"Although this will, unfortunately, end my 2020 season, it is really a blessing that we found this as my heart is severely enlarged and wouldn't have lasted much longer," Smith was quoted on his Instagram post.

Vikings' linebacker said that he found this out after he tested positive for COVID-19 and had to undergo further testing done as protocol.

He added that the Lord works in mysterious ways and could feel God's work by discovering his serious heart condition.

"By no means am I ready to be done playing football, there is still so much more I want to accomplish on the field. Im (sic) going to attack this like everything else I have in life," Smith was quoted.

Vikings' Cameron Smith as a Player

Smith has appeared in five games for the Vikings and has eight total tackles in those games.

Smith played collegiate at USC and was slated as Eric Kendrick's primary backup on Vikings' 53-man roster for the 2020 season.

An undrafted rookie out of Appalachian State, Jordan Fehr, will fill Smith's spot on the depth chart.

Fehr was an All-Sun Belth Conference performer last fall during his last two seasons at Appalachian State.

He recorded a team-high 109 tackles while helping the Mountaineers finish the season with a 13-1 record.
