Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith placed on COVID-19 list

BALTIMORE -- The Minnesota Vikings were without safety Harrison Smith for Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens after the Pro Bowler was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Smith is the third Vikings player put on the reserve/COVID-19 list since Thursday. He joins center Garrett Bradbury, who tested positive and is vaccinated, and practice squad guard Dakota Dozier.

The Vikings conducted extra COVID-19 tests Sunday morning, a source said, after the cases that popped up this week. If he tests positive, Smith will miss at least 10 days, which would force him to also miss next Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Vikings activated safety Myles Dorn off the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement.

Smith has amassed 58 tackles, three passes defended and a sack in seven games this season.
