  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Gets another pick in win

    Smith recorded three tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 28-13 win versus the Raiders.

    Smith played smothering man-to-man coverage on a pass underneath intended for Brock Bowers in the red zone, and he came away with his second interception of the season to preserve a 14-10 Tampa Bay lead late in the third quarter. He'll be looking to keep up the positive momentum in Week 15 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.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Questionable for Week 14

    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.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Limited to open week

    Smith (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Smith has missed the last three games due to a knee injury he suffered during practice in early November. Wednesday was the first time Smith practiced since suffering the injury, which indicates that he is progressing through his recovery. The rookie third-rounder will have two more chances this week to practice in full ahead of Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Will miss another game

    Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 13 contest against Carolina.

    Smith hurt his knee in practice Nov. 8 and will miss his third consecutive contest as a result. His absence will further thin a Tampa Bay secondary that also will be without starting safety Jordan Whitehead (pectoral). Christian Izien figures to see lots of defensive snaps in Smith's stead Sunday.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Downgraded to out for Week 12

    Smith (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Smith was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report, so he was never expected to play versus New York. Coach Todd Bowles had already essentially ruled out Smith for Week 12. The good news for Tampa Bay's secondary is that Jamel Dean (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

  • 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.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Out for Week 12

    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. This will be his second consecutive game missed despite having extra time to heal with Tampa Bay coming out of its bye. The Bucs are dealing with injuries all over their cornerback depth chart, with Jamel Dean (hamstring) still on injured reserve but eligible to return this week. Zyon McCollum (hamstring) and Troy Hill (ankle) are also banged up.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Downgrades to DNP on Thursday

    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. The rookie third-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his third game of the regular season, but he'd give himself a chance at playing against the Giants on Sunday if he's able to return to practice Friday.

  • 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: Won't play Week 10

    Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Smith suffered a knee injury in Friday's practice, which will cause the rookie third-round pick to miss his second game of the regular season. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Smith will have additional time to recover due to the Buccaneers being on a bye for Week 11. Tavierre Thomas is the top candidate to serve as the Bucs' starting slot corner due to Smith being sidelined.
