TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed defensive end Jacquies Smith on the active/PUP list, the team announced Wednesday.
Smith, 27, suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in Week 1 and missed the rest of the 2016 season. He was also sidelined during the Bucs' offseason program.
One of the Bucs' top pass rushers in 2014 and 2015, Smith recorded 13.5 sacks during that span.
The Bucs have had a number of injuries at defensive end. Noah Spence is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and dislocated shoulder he suffered last year.
