Ready for MNF Smith (back) won't carry an injury tag into Monday's game versus the Vikings.

Impact Smith has missed just two defensive snaps through nine games, and after a pair of limited practice sessions to start the week, he was full speed Saturday and shouldn't be held back Monday. The 2018 first-round pick is on a career pace with 82 tackles, a sack and five pass breakups through nine games, and he'll have the tall task of slowing down Dalvin Cook in primetime.

Held back in practice Smith (back) was a limited practice participant during Thursday's session.

Impact Smith had recovered from December surgery in time for the start of the 2020 regular season after suffering a torn pectoral Week 14 of last year. The 23-year-old had been able to avoid the injury list through the first two months of the current campaign, but now he's been reported as having a back issue following one of his best outings of the season. Smith collected 11 tackles along with his first sack of 2020 last Sunday against Tennessee. A limited practice session at least provides some optimism he'll be able to suit up for an approaching Monday night showdown against the Vikings.

Another strong outing Smith tallied a sack and 11 stops in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Impact In a game that Tennessee led throughout, they leaned heavily on their rushing attack which provided Smith plenty of opportunities to pile up tackles, and he also notched his first sack of the season. He's averaging nine tackles this season, making him an elite IDP performer with a high weekly scoring floor.

Another strong performance Smith tallied eight stops in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.
