Vita Vea – Noteworthy – Injury
DT Vita Vea could make his NFL debut in Monday night’s matchup against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his inability to practice for seven weeks while dealing with a calf injury, the first-round pick in this year’s draft lost 15 pounds and is closer to the playing weight the Buccaneers envisioned. Still, the lengthy hiatus has Tampa Bay head coach Dirk Koetter concerned about the conditioning level of Vea, who practiced on a limited basis Thursday and Friday.
