Spotted at practice Friday
Vea (foot) returned to practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact
Vea didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but was in attendance Friday. Head coach Todd Bowles said Vea is "tending in the right direction" regarding the defensive tackle's potential availability for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons, per Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site. Vea's practice participation level will be clarified on Friday's injury report, which will also reveal whether he carries an injury designation into Tampa Bay's Week 1 contest.

Doesn't practice Thursday
Vea (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
Vea has missed the first two practices of the week while working through a foot injury. Friday is the last chance for Vea to practice, but participating even in a limited capacity would put him in good shape to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Atlanta. Greg Gaines would be slated to see more snaps with the first-team defense alongside Logan Hall and Calijah Kancey if Vea is not cleared to play.

Career-high sack total in '24
Vea finished the 2024 regular season with 42 tackles (27 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and one defensed pass across 16 games.
Impact
The mammoth tackle added a solo tackle over 47 snaps in the wild-card loss to the Commanders. During the regular season, Vea continued to profile as one of the best interior pass rushers in the league, setting a new career high in sacks while exceeding 5.0 sacks for the third straight season. Vea's tackle total was also the second highest of his career, and unless the Buccaneers opt to exercise an out in his deal this offseason at a dead cap hit of $11.5 million, Vea is due to play out the 2025 season in his usual capacity on the interior of Tampa Bay's defensive front.

Sets new career best in sacks
Vea recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Impact
Vea finished the 2024 season with a new career high in sacks (7.0) thanks to Sunday's takedown of Spencer Rattler. The 2018 first-round pick also compiled the second-highest tackle total (42) of his career, and Vea figures to continue serving a critical pass-rushing and run-stuffing presence when the Buccaneers welcome in the Commanders for Sunday night's wild-card showdown.
