A bad day for the Vikings could be getting worse.

Starting safety Harrison Smith, a first-round pick who has been a difference maker for the Vikings this year, has exited with an apparent concussion.

If it’s a concussion, Smith won’t be able to return until he receives the appropriate clearances from the team and an independent neurologist.

The Bears still lead, 25-3.
