News

  • Staying with Vikings

    Smith will stay with the Vikings after re-working his contract, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith's new deal is worth about $11 million and will tie him to Minnesota -- where he has spent the entirety of his 13-year career -- for the 2025 campaign. He should continue to serve as one of the team's starting safeties after having tallied 87 tackles (56 solo), with 1.0 sacks, and an interceptions a season ago.

  • Logs 87 tackles in 13th season

    Smith finished the 2024 season with 87 tackles (56 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass breakups, including three interceptions, and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season contests.

    Analysis: The 29th overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, Smith has played all 13 seasons with the Vikings and has started 191 games for the franchise. He's now scheduled to be a free agent in March after logging at least 80 tackles for the 10th time in his career. Smith's 10 pass breakups also matched the third most of his distinguished career. Smith turns 36 years old in February, and Minnesota has a long list of free agents on the defensive side of the ball, including fellow starting safety Camryn Bynum,…read more

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Smith (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Still working through foot injury

    Smith (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith was unable to play in Week 16 against the Seahawks due to a foot injury, but he was able to play through the issue against the Packers this past Sunday, during which he logged four tackles (two solo) while playing all 57 defensive snaps. Smith should be able to play in the Vikings' regular-season finale against the Lions on Sunday night unless he suffers a setback at practice over the next two days.

  • Cleared to play Week 17

    Smith (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks, but he practiced in full to close out this week and is ready to return to the field following the one-game absence. Smith has 79 tackles (51 solo), including three TFLs and 1.0 sacks, nine pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery across 14 games this season.

  • Practices in full Thursday

    Smith (foot) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Smith was estimated as a non-participant Wednesday, so his upgrade to full participation one day later bodes well for his likelihood of suiting up Sunday versus Green Bay. The veteran safety missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks, which was his first regular-season absence since the 2022 campaign. Smith ranks fourth on the Vikings with 79 tackles this season.

  • Estimated as DNP to open week

    Smith (foot) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: Smith was held out of the Vikings' Week 16 win over the Seahawks due to a foot injury. It was the first game he's missed all season, and while he didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, head coach Kevin O'Connell sounded optimistic Monday that Smith would be able to play in Minnesota's NFC North bout against Green Bay on Sunday, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Smith will have two more opportunities to practice this week and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Should be back next week

    Smith (foot) likely has a short-term injury and is expected to return for the Vikings' Week 17 matchup with the Packers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The safety logged a DNP/LP/DNP practice week before missing Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seahawks. Smith has played on at least 75 percent of the defensive snaps in all 14 games he's suited up for this season. If the veteran can't return in time for the Green Bay matchup, Jay Ward and Theo Jackson are Minnesota's backup safeties.

  • Inactive for Week 16

    Smith (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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."

    Analysis: 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.

  • Could play in Week 16

    Smith (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Downgrades to DNP on Thursday

    Smith (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

    Analysis: This is a step in the wrong direction for Smith, as he was a limited participant Wednesday. It's not clear when the veteran safety picked up the foot injury, though it's worth noting that he played a season-low 75 percent of the Vikings' defensive snaps this past Monday versus Chicago. In fact, Smith's defensive snap share has decreased three straight weeks after he was on the field for every one of Minnesota's defensive plays from Week 8 to Week 12.

  • Limited on Wednesday

    Smith (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: It's a new injury for Smith, who hasn't been listed on the injury report since September. The veteran safety has started all 14 games this season but did play just 81 percent of the defensive snaps Monday night against the Bears, his lowest snap rate since Week 3. On the year, Smith has logged 79 tackles (51 solo), including three TFLs and 1.0 sacks, nine pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery.

  • Collects 11 tackles in win

    Smith recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) during Sunday's 30-27 overtime win at Chicago.

    Analysis: Smith was on the field for all 73 of the Vikings' defensive snaps in Week 12, and he was able to turn in a season-high tackle total. His every-down role will keep him on the fringe of the IDP radar for a Week 13 tilt versus the Cardinals.

  • Picks off pass in win

    Smith recorded three solo tackles and two pass breakups, including an interception, in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: The veteran safety also played on all 55 defensive snaps. Smith now has 53 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery in 2024.

  • Season-high tackle total in loss

    Smith notched eight tackles (six solo) during Thursday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Smith logged his best tackling game of the season during Minnesota's loss to Los Angeles in Week 8 while playing 100 percent of defensive snaps. 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.

  • Posts a sack in London

    Smith recorded six tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 23-17 win against the Jets.

    Analysis: Smith came free on a cleverly designed blitz and rocked Aaron Rodgers to force a Jets punt late in the second quarter. The veteran is on pace for more than 100 tackles in his 13th season in the league and thus carries some IDP appeal coming out of Minnesota's Week 6 bye.

  • Six tackles in win

    Smith had six total tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Analysis: Smith nearly had a pick-six when he blocked a pass attempt on a blitz and almost caught the rebound. Smith played on 52 of the defense's 67 snaps. He's played on 76 percent or more of the defense's snaps each of the first three games despite preseason talk of pacing the veteran's play this season.

  • Suiting up

    Smith (hip) is active Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Smith didn't practice Thursday but he got in a limited session Friday. The veteran safety's presence in the secondary should be a boost for the Vikings as they look to keep San Francisco's offense in check for Week 2.

    Published: Sun, Sep 15 at 8:54am by Rotowire.com

  • Officially questionable for Week 2

    Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith upgraded to a limited practice level Friday, which bodes well for his chances of being cleared to take the field versus San Francisco. The veteran safety played 93 percent of defensive snaps Week 1 against the Giants.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Smith did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a hip injury.

    Analysis: Smith practiced without restrictions Wednesday, but the 2012 first-round pick is nursing a groin injury that kept him off the field Thursday. His status for Week 2 against the 49ers should be more clear once Friday's injury report is released. Smith registered seven tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Giants.

  • Picks off pass

    Smith notched seven tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's 28-6 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Smith kicked off his 13th season in Minnesota with his first interception since the 2022 season. Despite being in the later stages of his career, the 35-year-old continues to be productive on the field and had one of his best statistical seasons in 2023. He'll work to keep up the production in Week 2 against the 49ers.

  • Staying in purple and gold

    Minnesota is restructuring Smith's contract, putting him in line to return for his 13th NFL season, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Smith turned 35 in February, but he'll apparently be coming back for at least one more campaign. Provided his playing time isn't cut drastically, he could be a candidate to return fringe IDP value in 2024.

  • Sees career high in snaps

    Smith recorded 93 tackles (60 solo), 3.0 sacks, three passes defended and three forced fumbles during the 2023 campaign.

    Analysis: Smith was once again productive in his 12th NFL season, all with the Vikings. His 3.0 sacks matched his career best, while his three forced fumbles also equaled his career-high mark from 2019. Smith will turn 35 in February but remains under contract for two more seasons.

    Smith (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Detroit, Matthew Coller of PurpleInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite unexpectedly popping up on the Vikings' injury report during the week, Smith will be available in Week 18. He's 10 total tackles Sunday away from the second 100-tackle season of his career.

    Smith (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Smith unexpectedly popped up on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday with a shoulder injury, and now he's hobbled at their first practice of the new week. He'll likely have to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Tending to shoulder injury

    Smith (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Smith picked up the shoulder issue, but that he practiced Wednesday indicates that it's probably not serious. If he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

    Smith had five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: It's the third straight game Smith has registered five total tackles. He played 65 snaps on defense Sunday, but he didn't play every single defensive snap for the first time since Week 3 against the Chargers. The 2012 first-round pick out of Notre Dame has 90 tackles (57 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two passes defended and three forced fumbles in 16 games this season.

    Analysis: Smith finished fifth on the team in tackles en route to the team holding Jordan Love and the rest of Green Bay's offense to just 10 points. The 2012 first-round pick has now recorded 55 tackles (34 solo) this season and has logged six or more in all but two games.

  • Stuffs box score

    Smith had 14 tackles (eight solo), three sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Smith arguably had the best statistical performance of his six-time Pro Bowl career in Week 4. His 14 combined tackles were a single-game best, as were his three sacks. In fact, the 12-year pro previously never had more than three sacks in a single season. His forced fumble was also significant, coming on one of his three sacks of Bryce Young, which was then scooped up by D.J. Wonnum and taken in for a touchdown that gave the Vikings a 14-13 lead late in the third quarter. Smith now has 28…read more

  • Four tackles in loss

    Smith started at strong safety and had four total tackles in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: It's a little concerning for Smith's fantasy value that he didn't register any QB pressure stats in the pass rush even though the Vikings will utilize more blitzes under new defensive coordinator Brian Flores. He could be more of a factor on blitzes later in the season, but otherwise, he had a solid game in coverage in Week 1.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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,…read more

    Smith (knee) is active Sunday against the Giants.

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

    Analysis: Smith was a limited participant in practice throughout the week after he sat out the team's regular-season finale. Assuming he does take the field for the wild-card round, it'll certainly be a boost for the Vikings secondary.

    Smith (knee) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Giants, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: 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. The veteran safety is a key part of Minnesota's defense, so his potential absence would be a significant blow.

    Smith (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith sat out the Vikings' regular-season finale due to knee soreness and remains limited to start prep ahead of the wild-card weekend. The veteran safety is an integral part of Minnesota's defense and likely won't need to participate much in practice to be cleared for Sunday's matchup against the Giants. Either way, he'll have two more opportunities to log a full session before the team needs to make a decision on his status for the playoff matchup.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Smith (neck) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: Per Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune, Smith has moved past the illness that he'd been dealing with, but the veteran safety is still nursing a neck injury. Smith hasn't missed a game since Week 3, totaling 73 tackles, 10 pass defenses, five interceptions and a forced fumble across 11 appearances.

  • Increases activity Thursday

    Smith (illness) was a limited participant during the Vikings' practice Thursday.

    Analysis: 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. The 33-year-old will have one more chance to return to practice in full before Friday's final injury report.

  • Sits out of practice Wednesday

    Smith (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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 with five, 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…read more

  • Returns in full Thursday

    Smith (ankle) was a full participant during the Vikings' practice Thursday.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Dealing with injury

    Smith (ankle) was a limited participant during the Vikings' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Smith recorded seven tackles while playing 98 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps against the Patriots last Thursday, so it's unclear when this injury first arose. The 33-year-old safety will now have two more practices to increase his activity before Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Smith recorded eight tackles (seven solo) in Thursday's 33-26 victory against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith remained very involved Thursday, finishing just one tackle shy of the team lead, though his seven solo takedowns were Minnesota's highest. The safety remains one of the best at his position in the league and is now up to 65 tackles with seven pass deflections, four interceptions and a forced fumble over 10 contests this season.

  • Seven stops in bad loss

    Smith recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Smith tied nose tackle Harrison Phillips for the Vikings' third-most stops, as the team's defense was rolled over by Dallas' balanced offensive attack. However, the starting strong safety did not record a pass defended for just the third time in his nine games played this season. Smith will look to help Minnesota bounce back against the Patriots' limited offense Thanksgiving Day.

    Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Smith (groin) has made a "full recovery" from the injury he suffered Week 4, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Smith apparently took a low blow in London on Sunday, but fortunately appears to be okay. The six-time Pro Bowler will be ready to go Week 5 versus Chicago and should see plenty of opportunities for tackles against a run-heavy Bears offense.

    Analysis: Smith suffered a concussion in Monday's loss to Philadelphia and was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday.

    Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed after Monday's 24-7 loss to the Eagles that Smith indeed suffered a concussion during the game, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Smith was evaluated for a concussion in the fourth quarter, and the concussion was confirmed after the game. The veteran safety will need to pass concussion protocol to play Sunday against the Lions, which will be a tall order in a short week. If Smith can't play Sunday, Josh Metellus or Lewis Cine could play an expanded role.

The veteran safety had a game-high 13 tackles before exiting. A clearer picture of Smith's status for Minnesota's Week 3 game against the Lions should emerge once the Vikings resume practicing.

    Smith totaled seven tackles (five solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Packers.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

  • 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.
