  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Staying on restructured deal

    Smith agreed to a restructured two-year contract to remain in Minnesota on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The new deal will pay Smith $8 million in 2023, with $2 million in incentives. Smith has played his entire 11-year career with Minnesota, posting at least 78 tackles in each of the last seven seasons.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Maintains prominent role in 2022

    Smith posted 85 tackles (66 solo), 10 pass breakups and five interceptions,over 14 appearances during the 2022 regular season. Smith continued his do-it-all role on the back end of Minnesota's defense despite playing in fewer than 15 regular-season games for the first time since 2016. While his tackling production took a dip following his career-best 114-tackle campaign in 2021, the 33-year-old safety still maintained a prominent role in pass coverage, matching his career high for interceptions while also posting double-digit passes defensed for the fifth time. Smith is set to incur a $19.4 million cap hit next season, so it's unclear if the Vikings may look to restructure his deal or move on from him in order to alleviate their difficult cap situation heading into 2023.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Should return Sunday

    Smith (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Listed as questionable

    Smith (knee) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Giants, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Smith, who didn't play in the regular-season finale due to a knee injury, was limited at practice Wednesday through Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Out for regular-season finale

    Smith (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Bears, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. Smith developed what the Vikings believe to be some knee soreness following the team's practice Friday, per Seifert, and it appears Minnesota is taking the precautious route heading into the playoffs. The 33-year-old safety has recorded 85 tackles and 10 passes defended, including five interceptions, this season. No matter the outcome of this Week 18 contest, Minnesota is guaranteed to host a home playoff game during the wild-card round of the playoffs, so it will be worth keeping an eye on Smith's practice activity early on next week.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Won't play Sunday

    Smith (neck) is inactive Sunday against the Lions. It was reported Saturday by Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Smith was not expected to start Sunday in Detroit.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Not in line to start Sunday

    Smith (neck) isn't expected to start Sunday's contest at Detroit, Ben Gossling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Listed as questionable for Week 14 action due to a neck injury, Smith at the very least is in line to yield his starting spot at strong safety to Josh Metellus, but whether or not he's active won't become known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Considering Smith has racked up 73 tackles and five interceptions in 11 appearances this season, the potential for him to have no guaranteed snaps Sunday may force managers in IDP leagues to look elsewhere for a replacement.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Questionable for Sunday

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Increases activity Thursday

    Smith (illness) was a limited participant during the Vikings' practice Thursday. Smith was unable to participate with this ailment during practice Wednesday, so his ability to ramp up his activity is an encouraging sign heading to Sunday's game against Detroit.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Sits out of practice Wednesday

    Smith (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Smith was unable to partake in any activity Wednesday due to an illness, just days after he played every defensive snap in the Vikings' Week 13 win over the Jets. Though it seems unlikely the veteran safety will be forced to miss Sunday's contest versus Detroit, his participation in practice throughout the week is worth monitoring.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Grabs INT in Week 13

    Smith recorded three passes defended, including an interception, and eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-22 win over the Jets. Smith recorded one of his team's two interceptions against Jets quarterback Mike White, grabbing a pass intended for Corey Davis on the opening series of the game. Over 11 games played in 2022, the 11th-year safety has now matched his previous career high for interceptions, and he needs just three more passes defended to set a new career-best mark in this category as well. Smith also sits third on the Vikings in tackles (72) behind linebackers Eric Kendricks (99) and Jordan Hicks (98). He will look to once again make an impact in Minnesota's run and pass defense when the team faces Detroit this Sunday.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Returns in full Thursday

    Smith (ankle) was a full participant during the Vikings' practice Thursday. Smith appears to have quickly worked past an ankle injury that kept him limited during practice Wednesday. The 33-year-old safety is Minnesota's third-leading tackler (64) and has paced the team with four interceptions while playing all but one game so far this season. Smith should continue to play every down in the Vikings' secondary against the up-and-down Jets offense Sunday.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Officially ruled out

    Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions. As expected, Smith will miss at least one game after suffering a concussion during the team's Week 2 loss to the Eagles. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 4 against the Saints, but he'll first have to clear the NFL's concussion protocols. In his absence, Lewis Cine and Josh Metellus are candidates for increased roles. Metellus logged 10 defensive snaps in place of Smith on Monday, while Cine garnered just one. However, the Vikings may elect to give the rookie an extended look after a full week of prep without Smith.
