Smith (shoulder/ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Smith played a full game last Sunday, so this is likely just a day of rest. Still, check to see if he practices later this week.

Smith had an interception and three total tackles in Sunday's loss at Chicago. Smith has four interceptions this season, but is averaging just 5.2 tacklers per game compared to 6.8 per game in his first two seasons.

Smith had a season-high ten total tackles in Sunday's win over Washington. Smith's tackle totals have been down this season as he's averaging just 5.4 tackles per game after 6.75 in his first two seasons. He does have three interceptions and a sack, and perhaps Sunday's performance shows he'll get more opportunities at tackles.

Smith (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Smith seems to be past the ankle woes that have limited him in previous weeks. He'll resume his regular role at free safety, and his turnover prowess (three interceptions, one forced fumble) make him a quality IDP option in most leagues that require starting defensive backs.

Smith (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Buffalo. Smith is well on his way to matching his spectacular rookie year, as he's supplied 31 tackles (25 solo), six passes defended, three interceptions (one for a touchdown), and one sack in six games. As a result, he's a must-start on a weekly basis.

Smith (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Smith has had a little extra time to heal thanks to the Vikings' Thursday night game last week, and he should be safe to use against Detroit.

Harrison (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit. Minneapolis Star-Tribune writer Matt Vensel expects Smith to start, and the fact that Smith logged limited practices Thursday and Friday makes it seem like a reasonable hope. It appears the Vikings will wait to see how Smith looks Sunday before deciding whether he'll play. The Vikings have an early game Sunday.

Smith (ankle) practiced Friday and is expected to start Sunday against Detroit, the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Matt Vensel reports. Barring a setback, Smith looks ready to roll this weekend against the Lions after injuring his ankle in last Thursday's loss to Green Bay.

Smith (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. An appearance at practice equates to no crutches nor walking boot, which Smith was donning after last Thursday's loss at Green Bay. No matter, his availability seems to be in question heading into the weekend.

Smith (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Smith was spotted on crutches and wearing a walking boot after Thursday's game. We'll see if he practices later this week, but the initial outlook isn't good for him playing this week.
