INJURIES

Officially activated from IR The Buccaneers activated Vea (leg) from injured reserve Friday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Impact Vea practiced this week for the first time since suffering a fractured ankle in Week 5 against the Bears. The third-year defensive tackle will immediately bolster the Buccaneers' front seven when he's on the field, but Vea could be on a pitch count in his first game in over three months. Through the first five games of the year, Vea recorded 10 tackles, two sacks, an additional tackle for loss and three quarterback hits.

Vita Vea in, Antonio Brown out for Bucs in NFC title game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers bolstered their defense for Sunday’s NFC championship game by activating nose tackle Vita Vea from the reserve/injured list
JANUARY 22, 2021 • Associated Press
Expected to play The Buccaneers plan to activate Vea (leg) from injured reserve for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Peter Schrager of FOXSports.com reports.
Impact Coach Bruce Arians said the decision wouldn't be made until Saturday, but Schrager suggests it's close to a done deal. The 347-pound defensive tackle has been practicing this week, hoping to return from IR and make his first appearance since he fractured his leg/ankle Oct. 8 in a loss to the Bears. His return could make life more difficult for Aaron Jones and the Green Bay running game, though Vea probably won't be in top form after the extended absence.

Could be activated Saturday Coach Bruce Arians said that a decision on whether to activate Vea (leg) from IR won't be made until Saturday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Vea has participated in practice the last three days, and it looks like he has at least a chance at coming off IR in time for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers. He hasn't played since fracturing his leg Week 5, so the Buccaneers could certainly opt to cap Vea's snaps even if he does retake the field.

Will practice Wednesday The Bucs have designated Vea (leg) to return from the injured reserve list, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact After fracturing his leg Week 5, Vea previously was ruled out for the remainder of the season. The defensive tackle will rejoin his team in practice Wednesday and aim to be activated for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers. If the 27-year-old is unable to return, Rakeem Nunez-Roches will continue playing an expanded defensive role.

Clears COVID-19 protocol Vea (leg) was restored from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Vea has already been ruled out for the season after fracturing his leg Week 5 against the Bears, so he'll revert to injured reserve. He's now eligible to return to the Buccaneers' facilities to resume his rehab for the 2021 season.
DECEMBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to COVID list Vea (leg) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was ruled out for the season after suffering a fractured leg Week 5, so this is strictly a procedural move. Vea will move back to injured reserve once he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Out for season Vea suffered a season-ending leg injury in Thursday's loss to the Bears and was placed on injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Vea suffered a broken leg Thursday, an injury he won't be able to recover from this season. It's a major loss for the Buccaneers, as the 2018 first-round pick has handled a major workload and produced two sacks through the first five games. If the recovery goes as planned, Vea should be ready to begin the 2021 campaign. Rakeem Nunez-Roches is expected to start at nose tackle moving forward.
