As the Vikings try to move their record to 4-1, they’ll have to do it without their second first-round pick from the 2012 draft.

Safety Harrison Smith has been ejected for shoving an official who was pushing Smith away from a Titans player following an Antoine Winfield interception.

Three years ago, Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley was ejected for contact with an official and then fined $25,000. Two weeks ago, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined $50,000 for grabbing an official’s arm.

Smith was fined $21,000 for a shoulder-to-helmet hit on a defenseless player in the preseason.
