Back in Cleveland
The Browns re-signed Smith to a one-year deal Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Smith was a solid rotational linebacker for Cleveland last season, finishing second on the team with 72 tackles across 15 contests. The Super Bowl XLVIII MVP remains an exceptional defender in coverage, but his usage doesn't lend itself to high-end fantasy production in IDP formats.

Returns from COVID list
Smith has been activated from the Browns' reserve/COVID-19 list.
Analysis: Now able to rejoin his teammates in Sunday's wild-card round against the Steelers, Smith will likely return to racking up tackles for the Browns. The veteran linebacker has already posted 72 tackles (49 solo), one sack and one forced fumble this season.

Tests positive for COVID-19
Smith (illness) will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after returning a positive test, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Smith is thereby ruled out for the regular-season finale against the Steelers, which should allow Mack Wilson and Elijah Lee to handle increased snaps. The veteran linebacker will have to clear all requisite COVID-related protocols before being cleared to return.

Avoids inactive list
Smith (hamstring) is active Week 16 against the Jets.
Analysis: Smith has steadily seen action at weakside linebacker throughout the season for Cleveland, and after ramping up his participation in practice this week, he'll ultimately be available to bolster a position group struck by COVID-related absences. Cleveland is listing Tae Davis as the starter in place of B.J. Goodson (COVID), while Mack Wilson is officially getting the nod at Smith's position. Nonetheless, unless Smith was kept active as an emergency option, he should be rotated in somewhat…read more

Deemed questionable
Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Smith played 32 defensive snaps for the Browns in Week 15, racking up four tackles (three solo) against the Giants. He missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury, but he was a limited participant Thursday and Friday. If he's unable to play Sunday, Elijah Lee could see increased work for Cleveland.

Posts first sack
Smith recorded seven tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 41-35 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Smith was part of a gargantuan defensive effort by the Browns in the first half. They held off the surging Titans in the second half, but the defense forced three turnovers and stifled Derrick Henry, the league's leading rusher. The sack was Smith's first of the season and first since 2015.

Set for start
Smith is expected to start at weak side linebacker for Sunday's game against Washington, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The 31-year-old saw a huge uptick in Week 2 with 56 snaps, while racking up nine tackles (five solo). Expect a similar workload for Smith with the start, as he's tasked with slowing down a less-than-stellar Washington offense.

Heads to Cleveland
Smith signed a contract with the Browns on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The former Super Bowl MVP found a new landing spot after bouncing between the 49ers, Jaguars and Cowboys last year. The 31-year-old has struggled to stay healthy and has played just 16 games over the last three seasons, but he'll add veteran depth to a linebacker corps that just lost Mack Wilson (knee) long-term.

Joins Dallas
Smith signed a contract with the Cowboys on Tuesday.
Analysis: Smith spent a couple games with the Jaguars in the middle of the season but never played a defensive snap with the team. The veteran linebacker provides the Cowboys with some linebacker depth while Leighton Vander Esch (neck) and Joe Thomas (ankle) nurse injuries.

Parts ways with Jags
Smith was waived by Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Analysis: Smith joined the Jaguars on Oct. 22 and did not play a defensive snap in his two games with the team. The veteran linebacker will hope to latch on elsewhere via the waiver wire or free agency.
