4 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (ribs) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of the Week 17 contest with the Buccaneers. As long as Smith remains limited the rest of the week, he should be in line to lead the Falcons' backfield yet again. The 25-year-old has averaged 11.2 touches per game over the last five weeks, though he's exceeded 50 total yards just once in that span. The Falcons' backs should be avoided against the Buccaneers' top-ranked run defense, regardless of who is the lead back.--Tim Capurso
