Harrison Smith is coming back, and the Minnesota Vikings couldn't be happier about it. The veteran safety has agreed to a one-year deal worth twelve point two five million dollars, bringing him back for a fifteenth season. At this stage of his career, Smith remains one of the most trusted pieces in that Minnesota secondary.
Shifting to the diamond, the Toronto Blue Jays are dealing with a serious concern around Jameson Taillon. The right-hander landed on the fifteen-day injured list with right elbow inflammation after getting pulled just two innings into his Friday start against Kansas City. The club is seeking a second opinion, which tells you everything about how worried they are.
And in college football, the weather had other plans in Baton Rouge Saturday night, as storms rolling through Louisiana delayed kickoff significantly for the LSU and Clemson matchup. Fans packed into Tiger Stadium were left waiting, but when two programs of that caliber finally get on the field, the buildup only adds to it. Both teams came in with serious national expectations riding on this one.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
