Safety Harrison Smith is set to be back in the lineup for the Vikings on Sunday.
Smith missed Week 16 with a foot injury, but head coach Kevin O’Connell said that he expected him back for this weekend’s matchup with the Packers. O’Connell’s prediction looks good as Smith practiced fully the last two days and did not receive an injury designation for the game.
Linebacker Ivan Pace could also be back for the Vikings. Pace (hamstring) was designated for return from injured reserve this week and he’s listed as questionable to play after three straight days as a full practice participant.
Cornerback Fabian Moreau (hip) is the only player that the Vikings have ruled out.
