Smith (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. After opening the Bucs' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, Smith logged a full workload Friday, suggesting he's moved past his knee injury in time to play Sunday. With the rookie safety from Georgia back at full health, he's expected to serve as Tampa Bay's top slot cornerback in Week 16.

Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Smith has played through a knee issue over the Buccaneers' last two games, logging four tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) over that span. Unless his practice participation is downgraded over the next two days, the rookie third-rounder should be able to play against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Smith (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. Smith played through his knee injury in Tampa Bay's Week 14 win over the Raiders, recording three total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, over 43 defensive snaps. His Week 15 status was in doubt following two limited practice sessions; however, he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting that he'll play through his knee injury again Sunday. Expect the rookie from Georgia to serve as Tampa Bay's top slot corner against the Chargers.

Smith (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Smith will return Sunday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. The rookie third-rounder logged 42 tackles (30 solo), five pass defenses (including one interception) and three forced fumbles in the eight regular-season games before his injury. Smith is expected to slide back into his role at slot corner.

Smith (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Smith has been sidelined for the Bucs' last three games due to a knee injury. He managed to finish the week strong with a full practice Friday, but the rookie third-round pick hasn't been given the green light to return just yet. Smith's official status for Sunday's game will be known once Tampa Bay releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
