JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Daryl Smith strolled around Jacksonvilles practice fields Wednesday without a helmet or shoulder pads.It was probably a good thing he got the day off.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker spent most of the joint practice with the Jaguars chatting and laughing with former teammates and coaches.I think he had so many tackles on those fields that his tackle card had been punched, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said.Indeed, Smith spent the first nine years of his NFL career in Jacksonville and left as the franchises all-time leader in tackles, with 1,089. After missing 14 games in 2012 because of a groin injury, new Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell decided not to re-sign Smith even though he wanted to end his career in Jacksonville.So Smith ended up in Baltimore, where he started every game the last three seasons (2013-15) and recorded 372 tackles and five interceptions. He landed in Tampa Bay for his 13th season and is slated to start at strong-side linebacker.You come into the league and you kind of have something in your head, said Smith, a second-round draft pick in 2004. For me, it was 10 years at first. And then once you reach a goal, you set a new goal. It really has flown by. Im still loving and enjoying the game. But I know you cant do it forever. Im just trying to soak up everything you can.He had plenty of time Wednesday to soak up his first trip to Jacksonville in nearly 4 1/2 years.He hugged former teammate Paul Posluszny, visited with Jaguars strength and conditioning coordinator Tom Myslinski, had a lengthy conversation with former teammate and current Jaguars scout Greg Jones and even spoke with Jaguars coach Gus Bradley during a break. Smith also was popular with autograph-seeking fans after practice.One of the best guys and one of the best football players Ive ever been around, Posluszny said. I wish I could have played with him more because you love to be around those type of guys.Smith wasnt the only one making a return to his former stomping grounds.The Jaguars drafted two current Bucs: punter Bryan Anger in 2012 and running back Storm Johnson in 2014. Tampa Bays coaches have even more ties to Jacksonville. Koetter was the Jaguars offensive coordinator for five years (2007-11). Bucs offensive coordinator Todd Monken spent four years (2007-10) in Jacksonville. Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith held the same position in Jacksonville for five years (2003-07).Throw in linebackers coach Mark Duffner (2006-13 in Jacksonville), special teams coordinator Nate Kaczor (2008-11) and assistant defensive line coach Paul Spicer (2000-08 in Jacksonville as a player), and Tampa Bays coaching staff shouldnt have had problems getting around Jacksonville.Koetter still has a home in the area.Id be glad to sell it, Koetter said.Daryl Smith has no regrets about his near decade with the Jags. He was a defensive mainstay for Jacksonville, teaming with fellow linebacker Mike Peterson and giving the Jaguars one of the best tandems in the league. Had it not been for that groin injury that cost him all but the final two games of the 2012 season, he might be finishing his career in Jacksonville.Things always work out the way theyre supposed to, Smith said. I didnt want to leave in the first place, but at the same time, I guess it had to happen. I learned a lot since Ive been gone and theyve been getting better and better every year. Thats just the way its supposed to be.I cant never look back and say I wish this didnt happen or whatever. The past is the past. You just learn from it and you move on. All the memories and friendships that I have here, thats forever.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Jakeem Grant Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.

Adelaide star Rory Sloanes suspension wont put a major dent in the Crows hopes of securing a top-two AFL finish, defender Rory Laird insists.Sloane has accepted a one-game suspension after drawing blood when he whacked Port Adelaides Brad Eberts head with a clumsy attempt to spoil in round 22.The ban means Sloane is ineligible for this years Brownlow medal and will miss Friday nights Adelaide Oval blockbuster against West Coast.Laird says hes confident Sloanes absence wont be too detrimental in a clash which will help decide whether the second-placed Crows can lock in a home qualifying final.Obviously, losing Sloaney is very disappointing for the club and the playing group, Laird said on Tuesday.The positive in that is that theres a lot of players that are playing really well at SANFL level.Theres a lot of depth through the midfield at the moment and Im sure someone will come in and (fill) that void that Sloaneys left.Sloane could have taken his case to the tribunal but would have risked a two-game suspension, a gamblee the club decided was not worth risking with the finals coming up.ddddddddddddhe match review panels (MRP) decision prompted inaugural Adelaide coach Graham Cornes to speculate the AFL was conspiring against the Crows hosting a home final.Laird said the panel should take into account players intentions to spoil fairly but declined to criticise the decision.I cant really comment on it too much, he said.I think each player will have their different views on it and the MRP made their decision on what they thought was fair.Laird, whose rebound off half-back has played a key part in Adelaides success this season, has nominated depth midfielders Mitch Grigg, Wayne Milera and Cam Ellis-Yolmen as possible replacements for Sloane.With the Crows facing a six-day break before Fridays game, defender Brodie Smith is unlikely to be risked after suffering a concussion in Saturdays win over Port Adelaide.
