Minnesota Vikings Injury Report: Harrison Smith Misses Practice Again
The Minnesota Vikings will play on Sunday afternoon against the Green Bay Packers, in a game they probably have to win, if they want to keep their hopes alive for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Last week, against the Seattle Seahawks, Harrison Smith missed his first game in nearly two seasons, with a foot injury. Earlier this week, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters that Smith was expected back vs the Packers.

But when the first Minnesota Vikings injury report (simulated) of the week dropped Wednesday afternoon, Harry the Hitman was listed as a DNP “Did Not Practice”, along with cornerback Fabian Moreau.
Jalen Redmond, who’s in concussion protocol, was limited. Also listed on the walkthrough injury report as “full participants”, were Blake Cashman, CJ Ham, Patrick Jones II, Josh Oliver and Ivan Pace Jr, whose 21-day practice window was activated earlier this week.

The Minnesota Vikings passing defense struggled last week against the Seattle Seahawks, without Harrison Smith roaming the secondary. After KOC spoke on Monday, fans breathed a sigh of relief. But it’s clear he is not out of the woods just yet.
