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.

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: 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.
