Smith (foot) was a full participant during the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has dealt with a foot injury that forced him to sit out two of the final three regular-season games, including the regular-season finale against Carolina. However, he should be ready to retain his starting left tackles spot heading into Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Cowboys. Smith's availability will be a big boost for Tampa Bay's injury-riddled starting offensive line, as center Robert Hainsey (hamstring) and left guard Nick Leverett (knee/shoulder) were both limited during practice Wednesday.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Smith (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is now in line to miss his second game over the last three weeks as a result of a foot issue. Brandon Walton appears to be the most suitable candidate to draw the start at left tackle this weekend versus Atlanta.

Smith (foot) is active Sunday against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has missed multiple weeks with the injury, but he'll now return to the field Week 17 against Carolina. He should draw the start at left tackle.

Smith (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, per the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Smith wasn't able to gain medical clearance in the Week 16 matchup versus Arizona due to a foot injury, and he's currently at risk of missing his fourth contest of the year with the same concern. Although the 29-year-old strung together three straight limited practices this week, Brandon Walton would be in line to start at left tackle in Week 17 should Smith eventually be ruled out New Year's Day.

Smith (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when exactly Smith sustained the foot injury, but it'll force him to miss at least one contest. Josh Wells is expected to start at left tackle in his place versus Arizona.

Smith (elbow) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was limited at practice all week, but he'll be available against the Chiefs after a one-game absence. He'll reclaim his role as Tampa Bay's starting left tackle in Week 4.

Smith (elbow) is questionable for Sunday against the Chiefs after logging limited practices all week, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith sat out Week 3 against the Packers with the injury, and he still may not be ready to return. Laine adds in her tweet that Smith will be a game-time decision, so news of his status will likely have to wait until Sunday. If he is unable to play, Brandon Walton should draw the start at left tackle again.

Smith (elbow) is inactive Sunday against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith logged a limited practice Thursday, but followed that up with a DNP on Friday. He'll miss his second consecutive game and work to return in Week 4 against the Chiefs. In his absence, Brandon Walton should get the start left tackle.

Smith (elbow) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith practiced in limited fashion Thursday only to be sidelined Friday. That suggests he'll be out for the second consecutive game after suffering an injury in Tampa Bay's Week 1 victory over Dallas. Brandon Walton appears poised to take over at left tackle.

Smith (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Smith had been listed as doubtful heading into the weekend after failing to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, so it comes as little surprise that the left tackle won't be available for the Week 2 matchup. On a more fortunate note, right tackle Tristan Wirfs (abdomen) - who was listed as questionable - will suit up Sunday. Josh Wells is expected to step into the starting lineup to replace Smith and protect quarterback Tom Brady's blind side.
