Vikings' Harrison Smith: Dealing with personal matter

Smith has been out since Aug. 11 while managing a personal matter and will be evaluated by the Vikings on a weekly basis, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Smith remains on Minnesota's active roster but it appears that he could be unavailable Week 1 against the Bears while managing a personal matter. He reworked his contract back in March to remain with the Vikings for the 2025 campaign.
