Harrison Smith played for the Vikings during the season opener against the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. The veteran safety had nearly quit football. He explained later why he returned.
A separate review evaluated Smith's contract after complete terms emerged. The rating was based on the publicly available details. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray did not play due to a concussion. Smith had weighed stepping away before opting to return. He was out there for the opener even after the earlier questions.
