The Minnesota Vikings have been playing a little shorthanded in the secondary over the past couple of weeks, but Wednesday brought us some good news for the back of the purple defense.
The Vikings activated safety Harrison Smith to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. In addition, they have designated cornerback Patrick Peterson for return from the injured reserve list.
Smith tested positive for COVID-19 on the day the Vikings faced the Baltimore Ravens a couple of weeks ago. As an unvaccinated player, he had to isolate for ten days, causing him to miss last week’s victory over the Los Angeles Chargers as well.
