Vita Vea Has Bone Bruise, Slight MCL Sprain
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers standout defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise and a slight MCL sprain after undergoing an MRI exam, according to a source. The Buccaneers were concerned that Vea's injury was worse, but he could still be forced to miss some time after getting injured in the Week 10 loss to the Washington Football Team. The 26-year-old had to be carted off the field on Sunday, but it looks as though he won't have to miss the rest of the season. That's good new for Tampa's interior defensive line, but it seems like a lock that he'll be out for the Week 11 game against the New York Giants on Monday night.
