Smith was released by the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith re-upped with Minnesota in March after spending much of last year on the team's practice squad. The 29-year-old cornerback recorded six tackles over five contests in 2022, though all 17 of his defensive snaps came in a Week 17 loss to Green Bay. Smith will now look to carve out a larger role elsewhere heading into the regular season.

Smith re-signed with the Vikings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith spent the majority of the 2021 season on Minnesota's practice squad, though he did appear in five games while serving primarily on special teams. He should maintain a similar role in 2022.

Smith (undisclosed) was put on the Vikings' practice squad COVID list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will now be required to be away from the team until he can clear the league's protocols surrounding COVID-19. After appearing in his first game with the team since Week 10 last week, the cornerback will likely miss Week 16.

The Vikings released Smith on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith signed a contract with the Vikings in June and was expected to make an impact on special teams if he made Minnesota's initial 53-man roster. Although he didn't get the roster spot he hoped for, Smith figures to join another team before the start of the season.

Smith signed a contract with Minnesota on Wednesday, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran spent last season in Tennessee, supplying 15 tackles (11) solo and a pass breakup across 12 games. Smith has the capability to suit up on both defense and special teams, as he's seen 449 special-teams snaps the past three seasons. Smith will look to earn a roster spot in the secondary that added Patrick Peterson and Mackensie Alexander in free agency this offseason as well.

Smith (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has been on injured reserve the past three weeks but is cleared to retake the field for Week 12. Smith began the season mostly playing special teams, but he played 20-plus defensive snaps in two of his last three games before going down with the shoulder injury.

Smith (shoulder) was moved to the Titans' Designated for Return list on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will now have a 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve or he will revert back to the list for the remainder of the season. The cornerback has missed the past four games due to a lingering shoulder issue. Before he went down, Smith recorded nine tackles (seven solo) across six games in a limited defensive role.

The Titans placed Smith (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith missed last week's loss to Cincinnati, and now he'll be shut down for at least three more weeks. The addition of Desmond King via trade from the Chargers should ease the burden of Smith's absence, and Adoree' Jackson's (knee) hopeful return to action Week 10 should be a major boost as well.

Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith sat out last week's loss to the Bengals, but he was a full participant during the Wednesday and Thursday practice sessions. However, he may have suffered a setback, as he was listed as a non-participant during Friday's session. He's trending in the wrong direction going into the weekend. If he's able to suit up, his role on defense will be limited, though, especially if Adoree' Jackson (knee) is activated from IR.
