Harrison Smith: 'If I Can Play, I'll Play'

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Harrison Smith returned to the practice field Thursday, but the safety said he’s taking it one day at a time.

Smith, who suffered an ankle injury on Nov. 20 against the Cardinals, played through the injury for two games before being sidelined at Jacksonville and against the Colts.

The fifth-year safety said injuries come with the territory.

“It’s just part of it; you just have to see how things go,” Smith said. “If I can play, I’ll play.”

According to Smith, he felt good during team practice and didn’t consider the cold weather to be a factor one way or another.
