Vita Vea

Underdog’s James Palmer reports “there’s a chance” Bucs DT Vita Vea (MCL) plays in Week 3 against the Broncos.

Vea suffered an MCL sprain in Week 2 against the Lions and didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Per Palmer, “He practiced today for the first time this week, but only did a few things.” The Bucs will monitor his health throughout the weekend, giving him a shot at suiting up on Sunday. Still, it sounds like he is on the wrong side of questionable. Down multiple starters on the defensive side of the ball, this isn’t the most formidable version of the Bucs we’ll see this year. If Bo Nix is going to turn things around, Week 3 would be a great time to start.
