Missing another game Smith (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Chargers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith will miss his fifth straight contest due to a neck injury he suffered Week 13 against Green Bay. The offensive tackle was able to practice in full Wednesday but subsequently sat out both Thursday and Friday. It's unclear if Smith suffered a setback or if the team is just taking it easy with him since the Chiefs have nothing to player for Week 18 and are resting numerous starters.

Full participant Thursday Smith (foot) was a full participant during the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Impact Smith has dealt with a foot injury that forced him to sit out two of the final three regular-season games, including the regular-season finale against Atlanta. However, he should be ready to retain his starting left tackle spot heading into Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Cowboys. Smith's availability will be a big boost for Tampa Bay's injury-riddled starting offensive line, as center Robert Hainsey (hamstring) and left guard Nick Leverett (knee/shoulder) were both limited during practice Wednesday.
