Harrison Smith played for the Vikings during the season opener against the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. The veteran safety had almost walked away from the game. He later said what brought him back.
A separate assessment assessed Smith's contract once full details were released. The rating was based on the public terms. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray did not play due to a concussion. Smith had weighed stepping away before choosing to play. He was on the field for the opening game even with all the earlier doubt.
