The injury news on Donovan Smith appears to be much better than initially feared.

Smith had an injury scare in practice on Tuesday, but Smith has a sprained knee and is only expected to miss 2-4 weeks.

 A source  reported earlier that there was optimism that Smith would be ready for the Bucs’ Week 1 game against New Orleans on Sept. 9.

Smith has not missed a game since being drafted No. 34 overall in 2015.
