Harrison Smith Injury News
View AllAndrew Van Ginkel Seems Likely to Play
Vikings Edge Andrew Van Ginkel and S Harrison Smith are questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Van Ginkel got back to full practice participation Friday after missing last week with his concussion. That makes him seem likely to return for this game. Smith remained limited all week coming off his summer illness. We'll see about his status Sunday, but the safety won't be a good bet for IDP lineups when he takes the field for the first time.
Andrew Van Ginkel Out; Harrison Smith Questionable
The Vikings have ruled Edge Andrew Van Ginkel out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He's in the concussion protocol off the Monday night win over the Bears. S Harrison Smith is questionable for the game after putting in limited practices all week. Listed with an illness, he said this week he's been dealing with a "physical thing" and trying to get back into game shape. Smith returned to practice ahead of Week 1 after being out since Aug. 11 but missed the Chicago game.
Harrison Smith OUT vs. Seahawks
Vikings S Harrison Smith is inactive for today's game against the Seahawks with a foot injury. Theo Jackson looks like the next man up among safeties, but he's not a strong bet for full playing time.
