Tykee Smith Suffers Head Injury On Monday Night
2 weeks ago

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie safety Tykee Smith (head) suffered a head injury in the first half of Monday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens and is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return. Smith's head injury came as he was making a tackle on running back Justice Hill in the second quarter. The 23-year-old didn't have a tackle before leaving the contest, but he's become a big part of Tampa's secondary this year in just his first year in the NFL after being drafted in the third round out of Georgia. He came into Monday's Week 7 contest with 33 tackles (22 solo), an interception, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles. If Smith indeed suffered a concussion and does not return against the Ravens, Tavierre Thomas will be forced into a bigger role.
