Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Traveling to Detroit

Smith (illness) is traveling with the Buccaneers to Detroit, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Smith came down with an illness this week, which prevented him from practicing Thursday and Friday. He'll go through warmups before Sunday's game, but if he's unable to suit up, Tavierre Thomas would be the top candidate to slide into the nickel corner role. Smith registered two tackles while playing 40 snaps (38 on defense, two on special teams) in Week 1 against the Commanders.
