On Wednesday the NFL announced that the 25-year-old had been suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season for violation of the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs.
Smith has started 16 games over the last two seasons for the Bucs and amassed 101 tackles, three forced fumbles, 10 pass deflections and one interception.
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht released a statement shortly after the announcement:
“We are disappointed that Ryan will be unavailable for the first four games of the season. We do extensive training and education for our players regarding the league’s polices, but ultimately each individual is responsible for what they put in their bodies.”
The 6 foot, 190 pound defensive back can practice and play during training camp and preseason but won't be available until to hit the field until Week 5 against the Saints.
