Smith (hand) is inactive Sunday versus the Falcons, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Buccaneers' Ryan Smith: Contributes on defense, special teams Wednesday
Smith logged six tackles (four solo) and logged one kickoff return for 25 yards in Wednesday's 20-13 preseason loss to the Redskins.
The rookie safety had left the previous contest versus the Browns with a hand injury, but was unencumbered against the Redskins and once again made a bid for a roster spot by contributing on both defense and special teams. Smith's fourth-round draft status and 4.47 speed has earned him an extended look in training camp and preseason and Wednesday's production may have clinched him a spot on the final roster. Smith brings kickoff return experience from his days at North Carolina Central, having totaled 394 yards, including a 95-yard touchdown, over 14 college kickoff returns.

Buccaneers' Ryan Smith: Earns praise from head coach Dirk Koetter on Saturday
Smith earned a mention from head coach Dirk Koetter following Saturday's practice for his work on both defense and special teams, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The fourth-round rookie has gotten reps with the second-team secondary while also logging time as a kick returner. Smith has caught Koetter's eye with the progress he's made in getting up to speed after missing some valuable time during OTAs with a leg injury. "Ryan's playing a little bit of catch-up," Koetter said. "When those guys miss OTAs with injuries, even though they're in on the meetings, it takes some time to catch up, mentally... Now Ryan, you definitely can see his athleticism flash every day. The guy's got really good speed and it shows up on special teams." Smith is listed as the second-string kick returner on the initial depth chart released Saturday, as well as the third-string strong safety behind Chris Conte and Keith Tandy.

Buccaneers' Ryan Smith: Candidate for kickoff return role in 2016
Smith, a 2016 fourth-round pick, was one of several players mentioned by head coach Dirk Koetter after Friday's practice as candidates for the kickoff return job, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The North Carolina Central product, who impressed scouts with a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at the Combine, also brings some kickoff return experience from his four college seasons. Smith logged 394 yards, including a 95-yard touchdown, on 14 returns over that span, and could solidify his chances for a roster spot by demonstrating some special-teams acumen.

Buccaneers' Ryan Smith: Fourth-round pick by Tampa
The Buccaneers selected Smith in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 108th overall.
Smith is a small school player, but one who showed real NFL potential at North Carolina Central. At 5-foot-11, 189 pounds, Smith exhibited good all-around athleticism at the Combine by running a 4.47-second 40 and logging jumps of 36 inches in the vertical and 122 inches in the broad jump. With relatively short arms, Smith might best project to the slot.
