TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jacquies Smith suffered a setback in his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee, which is why he is beginning camp on the active/physically unable to perform list.
"He's going to have a little procedure done here this afternoon on his knee," Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said Friday. "He's going to be out here for a few weeks, but we hope to get him back at some point."
Smith, 27, suffered a torn ACL in Week 1 last year, underwent surgery and missed the remainder of the 2016 season as well as the offseason program.
