@SleeperBot: Smith missed his first game of the season this past weekend versus the Seahawks. But it appears his injury won't be long-term as the Vikings prepare for a big conference matchup versus Green Bay. The starting safety has been a major facet of Minnesota's defense so far this season, logging 79 tackles (51 solo) and nine passes defended, including two interceptions. If he is unable to suit up for Week 17, Jay Ward or Theo Jackson should get the start.
