Smith signed a three-year, $41.25 million contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday that includes $27 million guaranteed, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has started all 64 games for Tampa Bay since being drafted during the second round of the 2015 draft, and was a candidate to receive the franchise tag with his rookie deal set to expire. Given the guaranteed money, the 25-year-old should be spending at least the next two years on the Buccaneers offensive line.

Smith (knee) is active for Sunday's season-opening battle against the Saints, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is certainly good news for Ryan Fitzpatrick, who'll have his starting left tackle available to open the season. Smith has been dealing with a knee sprain since being helped off the field in an Aug. 21 practice, but his return in a limited capacity earlier this week had hinted at potential active status in Week 1.

The Bucs have listed Smith (knee) as questionable for their season opener versus the Saints on Sunday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been nursing sprained knee for nearly a month, and it appears his status for Sunday is up in the air. Michael Liedtke would likely get the call to replace him should he ultimately be unable to suit up.

Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith continues to nurse a sprained knee sustained three weeks ago. It seems increasingly likely that the 25-year-old will sit out Sunday's season-opener against the Saints, which could leave Ryan Fitzpatrick's blind side vulnerable. Michael Liedtke would be expected to start should Smith miss any time.

Smith left practice with a potentially serious knee injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith reportedly was rolled up on and required assistance to leave the field, leading to the serious injury narrative. If tests confirm the issue will cost him extensive action, it could cause a ripple effect, given that Smith is charged with protecting the blind side of either Jameis Winston or Ryan Fitzpatrick. Michael Liedtke finished the practice session with the starters, suggesting he may be in line to take over.

Smith suffered a left knee injury during Monday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers are already thin on quality depth on the offensive line, so losing their starting left tackle to a serious injury would be a huge blow to the team's offense. It's unclear exactly how severe the injury is, but expect an update on Smith's health later on Tuesday after further testing is complete.

Smith (shoulder) is officially active for Monday's game against the Falcons, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was listed as questionable and has not missed a game this season, which will continue through at least Week 15. The 24-year-old should take his starting spot at left tackle for the Buccaneers.

Smith (shoulder) has been deemed questionable for Monday's divisional matchup against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Smith logged a full practice Monday, but was limited the two previous days. While he appears to be trending in the right direction, his status is unlikely to be confirmed until closer to game-time Monday.

Smith (knee) will be active for Sunday's tilt against the Jets, Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's knee issue won't keep him sidelined against the Jets despite logging just one limited practice earlier in the week, so he'll start at tackle per usual.

Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 tilt versus the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Smith failed to practice in either of the first two sessions of the week, so Friday's participation level did represent an upgrade. However, he appears to be a true game-time call at present. Kevin Pamphile would likely get the call in Smith's stead if the latter is ultimately unable to suit up against the Jets.
