Harrison Smith played for the Vikings in their season opener against the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. The veteran safety had nearly quit football. He said afterward what brought him back.
A separate review evaluated Smith's contract once full details were released. The rating was based on the publicly available details. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray was unavailable due to a concussion. Smith had thought about retiring before choosing to play. He was in the lineup for the opening game even with all the earlier doubt.
