Packers' Preston Smith: Good to go vs. Vikings
Smith (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Minnesota, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Despite missing practice Thursday with an illness, Smith will suit up for Green Bay in Week 8. The Vikings have run one of the most pass-happy offenses in recent memory this season, so Smith should see plenty of opportunities to rush the passer Sunday.

Packers' Preston Smith: Misses practice Thursday
Smith (illness) sat out of practice Thursday after not being listed on the injury report Wednesday.
The linebacker's status is now in doubt for Sunday's game against the Vikings, and he will likely need to return to practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. Smith has started all six of the Packers' games this season and recorded 22 tackles, including two sacks, and five total quarterback hits.

Packers' Preston Smith: Gets second sack of season
Smith recorded two tackles (one solo) including a sack in Sunday's 19-17 loss at the Broncos.
Smith recorded his second sack in as many games Sunday after failing to register one over the first four games of the campaign. He hasn't reached 10 sacks in a season since his first year with Green Bay in 2019, and it still doesn't look like that's going to change in 2023.

Smith's sack was his first of the season after he was shutout the first four games. His pass deflection was also his first. The edge-rusher is now up to 20 tackles (14 solo) on the year. He'll rest during the Week 6 bye and shift his attention to the Broncos the following week.

Smith had five tackles (four solo) and one quarterback hit in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.
Smith's slow start continues. He has yet to record a sack in 2023 after notching at least 8.5 sacks in each of the previous two seasons. Perhaps age is starting to catch up to Smith, who will turn 31 in November.

Packers' Preston Smith: Adjusts contract
Smith restructured his contract Saturday opening up close to $7 million in additional cap space for the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Packers also restructured the contract of star cornerback Jaire Alexander, both necessary moves for the team to reach cap compliance. Smith was thought to be a potential cap casualty back in the pre-2021 offseason, but since then the 29-year-old pass rusher has tallied 17.5 sacks over the past two seasons and has become one of the team's most consistent pass rushers.

After registering two sacks in Week 15 against the Rams, Smith collected one more in the Christmas Day matchup versus Miami.
