Report: Former Penn State OT Donovan Smith suffers potentially serious knee injury

Former Penn State offensive tackle Donovan Smith suffered “what appeared to be a fairly serious knee injury” during a portion of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training camp Tuesday morning, according to the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud.

The fourth-year pro, who has started in 48 straight regular season games, needed to be helped off the field by trainers. Per Stroud, he was “rolled up on the back side of a running play.”

There are not yet any official updates on Smith’s injury status, although Tampa Bay coach Dick Koetter addressed reporters after practice.

“He’s very reliable and has been very durable over the course of his career.
