Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Downgraded to out for Week 12

Smith (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Smith was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report, so he was never expected to play versus New York. Coach Todd Bowles had already essentially ruled out Smith for Week 12. The good news for Tampa Bay's secondary is that Jamel Dean (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
