Harrison Smith played for the Vikings during the season opener against the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. The veteran safety had come close to retiring. He explained later what brought him back.
A separate review assessed Smith's contract after the full details came out. The review score was based on the public terms. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray was sidelined as a result of a concussion. Smith had considered retirement before choosing to play. He was on the field for the season opener even with all the earlier doubt.
