  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Logs full practice Thursday

    Smith (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Smith played through a foot injury during the Vikings' Week 17 win over the Packers, and his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should be good to go for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lions. Smith has logged 53 tackles (34 solo), five pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery over his last 10 games.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Practices in full Thursday

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Likely available vs. GB

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Smith (foot) "should be able to progress through the week and be available for us" in Minnesota's Week 17 game against the Packers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Smith missed his first game of the season this past weekend versus the Seahawks, but it appears his injury won't be a long-term issue and that he'll be available for a key divisional clash versus Green Bay. The starting safety has been a major component of Minnesota's defense so far this season, logging 79 tackles (51 solo) and nine passes defended, including two interceptions. If he is unable to suit up for Week 17, Jay Ward or Theo Jackson should get the start.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Inactive for Week 16

    Smith (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Smith was given the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a DNP/LP/DNP practice week due to a foot injury, and the veteran safety has not progressed enough in his recovery to play. Jay Ward and Theo Jackson are the top candidates to start at strong safety alongside free safety Camryn Bynum due to Smith's injury. Smith's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 29.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Looks like game-time call

    Smith is considered a "legit game-time decision" and will fully test his injured foot out about two hours before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff in Seattle, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday." Smith is listed as questionable for the Week 16 contest. He was a limited participant in practice Friday, which gave Smith some hope of suiting up Sunday after he sat out Thursday's session entirely. Official word on the veteran safety's status will arrive when Minnesota posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

  • Vikings' Harrison Smith: Could play in Week 16

    Smith (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks. Smith appeared to be trending toward not playing in Sunday's affair after downgrading from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday. However, he practiced in a limited capacity Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 16. If the veteran safety is unable to go Sunday, expect Jay Ward to start alongside Camryn Bynum in Minnesota's secondary.

The veteran safety's strong floor as a run stopper makes him a viable fantasy option in IDP formats, especially given that he retains an every-down role heading into the Vikings' home matchup against the Colts in Week 9.

  • 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.
