Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Officially doubtful for Sunday
Smith (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reported earlier Friday that head coach Todd Bowles ruled out Smith for Sunday's matchup in New York. However, the Buccaneers' official injury report Friday lists the rookie from Georgia as doubtful. If Smith is sidelined as expected in Week 12, Tavierre Thomas and Troy Hill (ankle) will likely serve as Tampa Bay's top slot cornerbacks.

Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Smith was injured in the team's Friday practice ahead of Week 10, and he's been sidelined since.

Smith (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Smith was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, but he was unable to take the field Thursday.

Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Limited in return to practice
Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Smith suffered a knee injury in the final practice leading up to Tampa Bay's Week 10 clash against San Francisco, and the injury was severe enough for him to be sidelined for that contest. The Buccaneers enjoyed a bye for Week 11, and the additional rest allowed Smith to return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The rookie third-rounder will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Stellar in return to action
Smith furnished nine tackles (eight solo), one pass defensed and a forced fumble in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
The impressive rookie came back from a Week 8 absence due to a concussion and logged a robust 72 snaps (85 percent) while also finishing tied for third in stops on the Buccaneers. Smith's tackle total was good for the second highest of his career, and he also jarred the ball loose from Travis Kelce in Tampa Bay territory late in the first half, which led to a fumble recovery by Josh Hayes. Smith now has an impressive 42 tackles (30 solo), an interception, four additional defensed passes and three total forced fumbles over eight games, keeping him firmly on the IDP radar heading into a Week 10 matchup against the 49ers.

Smith was sidelined for the Bucs' Week 8 loss to the Falcons due to a concussion he sustained in Week 7 against the Ravens.

Smith was unavailable for the team's Week 8 loss to the Falcons as a result of a concussion he suffered in Week 7 versus Baltimore.

Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Won't play in Week 8
Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday that Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Smith sustained a concussion in the Buccaneers' Week 7 loss to the Ravens and has yet to pass through the NFL's five-step protocol. The rookie safety has recorded 33 total tackles and four passes defended, including one interception, through his first seven games.

Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: DNP to open week
Smith (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.
Smith suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Monday's loss to the Ravens. The rookie third-round pick appears to be far from clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocols, and unless he's able to practice in full this week, he's unlikely to suit up against the Falcons on Sunday. If Smith is sidelined, Tavierre Thomas and Christian Izien would be the top candidates to start at nickel corner alongside Zyon McCollum and Tyrek Funderburk.

Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Makes sizable impact in win
Smith recorded five tackles (three solo), an interception, an additional pass defensed and a forced fumble in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
A game after recording a career-high 11 stops during a Week 5 loss to the Falcons, Smith established another early career milestone by nabbing his first interception. The rookie third-round selection's pick of a Spencer Rattler pass intended for Rashid Shaheed at the Buccaneers' 36-yard line with 4:24 remaining essentially snuffed out any hope of a Saints comeback, especially since the ensuing possession culminated in Tampa Bay's final touchdown of the afternoon. Smith has quickly established himself as a playmaking presence in the team's talented secondary, and he's a rising IDP asset heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens on Monday night.
