Not too soon after the police activities were reported, a black Cadillac Escalade which was reportedly owned by Smith was seen being towed away from the scene. However, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s office has yet to provide an update on the situation.

As most are aware, Smith didn’t report to any of the Jags’ offseason or preseason activities due to needing to step away from football for personal reasons. In a letter he posted via Instagram, the veteran said that he needed time to get his “world in order” and would look to dedicate his time to himself, his family and his health. That led to the Jags placing Smith on the Jags’ reserve/retired list in July.
Smith was spotted at a local Jacksonville high school game in October and gave a brief update on his status. He told Marcel Robinson of Action News Jax that all was well but his mind wasn’t set on playing football at the moment.
Smith accumulated 586 career tackles to his name along with 7.5 sacks, nine interceptions, five forced fumbles and three touchdowns. He was also named to the 2017 Pro Bowl roster with teammates A.J. Bouye, Jalen Ramsey (at the time), Calais Campbell, Malik Jackson and Yannick Ngakoue.
