Vita Vea Unlikely To Play Against Giants
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) wasn't at practice on Friday, and while he still has another day to get back on the practice field, he's unlikely to do so and probably will not be active on Monday night against the New York Giants after getting injured in the Week 10 loss to the Washington Football Team. The 26-year-old was officially diagnosed with a bone bruise and slightly sprained MCL, so he could even wind up missing the game in Week 12 after he was carted off the field last Sunday. The good news is that the Buccaneers should have Vea, who is a key presence in the middle of the team's rush defense, for the stretch run of the regular season.
