Vikings Get Harrison Smith, Patrick Peterson Back Ahead Of Packers Game

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Vikings will get a boost to their secondary just in time for a matchup with the rival Packers.

The team announced Wednesday safety Harrison Smith has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and Patrick Peterson is eligible to return to practice.

Smith was placed on the list just before the team’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, which they lost 34-31. He also missed last weekend’s win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Peterson was hurt in a win over the Carolina Panthers and has spent the past few weeks on injured reserve.
