Ends with career-high 114 tackles
Smith tallied 114 tackles (83 solo), seven pass deflections, three sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 15 appearances during the 2021 campaign.
Analysis: Smith missed two games while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he played every defensive snap in the 15 games for which he was active. He topped 100 tackles for the first time in his career and tied his career high with three sacks, a mark he's reached three times. The soon-to-be 33-year-old signed a four-year extension before the 2021 season, so he's expected to have a similar role next year.

Practices fully Thursday
Smith (foot/shoulder) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Smith didn't practice Wednesday due to the injuries, but his absence was presumably a precautionary measure since he had no limitations Thursday. Barring a setback, the 32-year-old will be good to go for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Battling foot, shoulder injuries
Smith (foot/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith previously hadn't been dealing with an injury but is suddenly battling two. The starting safety's status will be worth monitoring throughout the week, as Smith sitting out would turn Sunday's game into an even more favorable matchup for Aaron Rodgers and the prolific Packers passing attack.

Ties career high with third sack
Smith had five tackles (four solo), a sack, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Thursday's 36-28 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Smith's well-rounded stat line included his third sack of the season, and the veteran safety has now tied his career high in that category, having previously totaled three sacks in 2014 and 2018. He's also up to 83 tackles, surpassing 80 for the fourth consecutive campaign.

Tallies second sack
Smith had four solo tackles and one sack during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Smith notched his lowest tackle total of the season versus Green Bay, but he nonetheless rewarded fantasy managers with his second sack of the year. The veteran safety missed Weeks 9 and 10 due to COVID-19 protocols, but in games he's suited up for, he hasn't missed a single defensive snap.

Activated off COVID-19 list
The Vikings activated Smith off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: As expected, Smith has been cleared to return to the team's facility Wednesday. The Notre Dame product has missed the last two contests due to COVID-19 protocols, but it appears he will be available against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Closing in on return
Smith (illness) is close to returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list and is expected to be back with the team Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Assuming Smith is cleared to return to the team's facility Wednesday, he should have enough time to prepare and eventually take the field for Sunday's Week 11 matchup against Green Bay. The Notre Dame product has missed the last two contests while on the COVID-19 list.

Will miss another game
Smith, who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, will miss Sunday's game against the Chargers, head coach Mike Zimmer told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Analysis: Smith missed Sunday's game at Baltmore after being placed on the COVID-19 list. Unvaccinated players who test positive must be out a minimum of 10 days, which will cause him to miss two games. Camryn Bynum started at safety in place of Smith and had 12 tackles and an interception.

Likely tests positive, may sit twice
Smith's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday was believed to be the result of a positive test, based on the timing of the transaction and the fact that he was scheduled to take a retest, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: The Vikings announced Smith would be sidelined for Sunday's game in Baltimore just under two hours before kickoff. He became the third Vikings player to enter the COVID-19 protocol in the past four days, and though there could be a possibility that he was a close contact of an infected person, word that he'll require a retest points to him having tested positive already. Unless a subsequent retest indicates that the original result was a false positive, Smith is expected to remain away from the…read more

Goes on COVID-19 list
The Vikings placed Smith on the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith becomes the third Vikings player in the last four days to land on the list. The Vikings elevated Myles Dorn from the practice squad as a replacement on the roster for Smith, whose absence could hurt as they look to slow down a high-powered Ravens ground attack. Minnesota is already down two of its other top defenders in cornerback Patrick Peterson (hamstring) and top pass rusher Danielle Hunter (pectoral), who both reside on injured reserve.

Another nine-stop day
Smith notched nine tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Smith has back-to-back games with nine stops under his belt, bringing him to 49 tackles (37 solo) on the season. Since the season-opener, Smith hasn't logged a single contest with less than eight total tackles.

Productive streak continues
Smith managed nine tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Smith has notched at least eight tackles in four straight games, bringing him to 40 total stops through five weeks. As usual, the veteran safety has also been an every-down contributor on defense. Smith will get a chance to continue racking up stats at Carolina in Week 6.

Records sack in season opener
Smith had six total tackles, a sack, a tackle for a loss and a QB hit in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Fresh off signing a four-year, $64 million extension, Smith got off to a strong start in 2021 while playing all 69 of the defense's snaps. It was also encouraging to see him involved in the pass rush, as he had just half a sack last season.

Signs four-year extension
The Vikings signed Smith to a four-year, $64 million extension Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The safety has been a key cog in Mike Zimmer's defense for years and will now reap the benefits. The deal will keep Smith attached to the Vikings for the next five years and will increase his 2021 salary to $22.5 million before it levels off to $15.3 million over the next three seasons. During the 2020 campaign, the 32-year-old posted 89 tackles and tied his career-high with five interceptions. This year, Harrison will lead a revamped secondary as Minnesota added veterans Bashaud Breeland,…read more

Ends another productive season
Smith ended the season with 89 tackles (54 solo), a half sack, 10 pass breakups and five interceptions in 16 games.
Analysis: Smith has consistently put up solid numbers for Minnesota through his nine seasons with the team, and this year was no different. Playing 95.9 percent of the defensive snaps, the strong safety was a key member of the unit and will continue in that capacity next season in the last year of his current contract.

Will play Week 12
Smith (neck) has been cleared for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Smith started the week as a non-participant in practice. He upgraded his participation in each session and was full speed Friday. The veteran safety is an every-snap player, and he's racked up 51 tackles, six pass breakups and three interceptions through 10 games.

Upgraded to limited
Smith (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Smith was unable to get any work in during Wednesday's practice, so his limited participation is progress. This movement should give him a decent chance to play in Week 12 against Carolina. Smith has been a key in the Vikings' defense, reaminging on the field for all defensive snaps in seven games this season.

Misses practice Wednesday
Smith (neck) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Smith has played every snap on defense in four straight games. This appears to be a new injury, and he'll need to return to the practice field by Friday to have a chance to play Sunday against the Panthers. Smith has missed just one game since the 2016 season. Curtis Riley and Josh Metellus are candidates to fill in at strong safety if Smith sits out.

Won't be suspended
Smith isn't expected to be suspended for lowering his helmet on a hit against tight end Jordan Akins in Sunday's win over the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Smith was ejected for his actions in the first half, and the league has decided that's enough punishment for the safety. The Vikings' pass defense is shaky enough and clearly struggled with Smith out of the picture, so having him back against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks in Week 5 is encouraging news.

Ejected Week 4
Smith was ejected from Sunday's game at Houston for lowering his helmet on a hit on Jordan Akins, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Akins was forced to leave the game and has since been ruled out with a concussion. Smith had three tackles before getting tossed and figures to receive a fine later this week for the play.

Four tackles Sunday
Smith had four total tackles in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: With Minnesota's young cornerbacks struggling against Aaron Rodgers, Smith wasn't utilized in the pass rush (just one QB hurry, according to Pro Football Focus). Smith fared well in pass coverage despite the defense giving up 43 points. The team's cornerback play is likely going to need to improve for Smith to be utilized as a blitzer or for him to grab interceptions for stats that will have a fantasy impact.

Reaches another Pro Bowl
Smith, who tallied 19 tackles over two playoff games, finished with 85 tackles, 11 pass breakups, three interceptions and a sack over 15 regular-season games.
Analysis: Smith forced three fumbles and recovered another two, as his versatility earned him a fifth straight trip to the Pro Bowl. He'll turn 31 years old in February, and Smith has two years remaining on his contract, averaging a $10.5 million cap hit. He's a lock to be the Week 1 starter at strong safety again in 2020.

Forces fumble in loss
Smith logged five tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble in Monday night's 23-10 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Smith has been racking up the big plays over the last four weeks with two interceptions, four pass breakups, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble in that time. He needs 13 more tackles in Week 17 against the Bears to tie his career high of 98, but he has yet to log more than 10 stops in a game this season.

Upgrades to full practice
Smith (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Smith was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he now appears to have fully shed the hamstring injury he suffered Week 11. The veteran safety is set for his usual starting role during Sunday's divisional tilt against the Lions.

Bothered by hamstring
Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Smith has dealt with this injury since Week 11 but played every snap of this past Monday's loss to the Seahawks, posting a season-high 10 tackles. There's no reason to think he won't be ready for Sunday's matchup against the Lions as long as he doesn't suffer a setback.

Posts 10 tackles in loss
Smith recorded 10 tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed across 75 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Smith was dealing with a hamstring injury during practice last week but still managed to play in 100 percent of the defensive snaps Monday. He now has 71 tackles on the season, good enough for second overall on the team.

Good to go
Smith (hamstring) is officially active for Monday's road clash against Seattle.
Analysis: Smith logged a full practice session Saturday, so this news isn't a surprise. The safety is expected to play a large role in slowing down a potent Seahawks passing attack led by Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett.

Gets questionable status
Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Smith was a full participant in practice Saturday, so it seems likely the veteran safety will be good to go for Monday's prime-time contest after leaving Week 12 early with a hamstring injury.

Estimated as limited in practice
Harrison Smith (hamstring) was labeled limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The Vikings didn't practice Thursday, so Smith's designation is merely an estimation. Since Minnesota plays Monday night in Week 13, Smith has an extra day to ramp up his practice activities. Reports over the weekend will bear monitoring.

Injures hamstring
Smith was forced out of Sunday's game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Smith's not expected to return to this contest, and Jayron Kearse will likely fill in next to Andrew Sendejo. He's fortunate to have an upcoming bye week, and Smith will look to get healthy for a matchup against the Seahawks on Dec. 2.

Explosive in loss
Smith tallied eight tackles (six solo), a sack, a pass breakup and a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: The veteran safety sacked Matt Moore and caused a fumble, but Moore recovered before a Viking could jump on it. Smith led Minnesota in stops during this contest, and he's second only to Eric Kendricks (73) on the team in that category with 53. His average of 5.9 tackles per game is respectable for IDP purposes.
