Ready for Sunday Vea (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Vea practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week due to a hip injury; however, it now appears he'll play through the issue Sunday. The Washington product has impressed through eight games this season, recording 30 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, and one pass defended. Expect Vea to serve as Tampa Bay's top interior defensive lineman in Week 10.
NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Vea recorded a season-high 10 total tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Monday's 30-24 loss to Kansas City.

The Broncos might be catching another break with the Panthers going back to their benched QB

The Denver Broncos have won four of five games thanks to a stingy defense and a run of good fortune

Buccaneers Stars Vita Vea, Mike Evans Active vs. Ravens Ravens rookie WR Devontez Walker is active for his first game with Deonte Harty on injured reserve.

Active versus Baltimore Vea (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Ravens.
Impact Vea was a late addition to the injury report Saturday, getting listed as questionable. However, an earlier report Monday from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler had Vea as expected to play. He's good to go for a showdown with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.

Expects to play Monday Vea (hamstring) is expected to play Monday versus the Ravens, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Vea was a late addition to Tampa Bay's injury report Saturday, when he apparently picked up a hamstring issue, but it seems like he'll suit up in Week 7 regardless. It's bad news for Baltimore's rushing attack, as Vea is as impactful against the run as any other player in the league.
OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Late addition to injury report Vea (hamstring) did not practice Saturday, and he is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Baltimore, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Vea was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring issue. Given his late addition to the injury report, that could make Vea game-time decision for Monday's game unless the team announces his status earlier. Greg Gaines started at nose tackle in for Vea earlier in the year while the latter was dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee.
OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Extends sack streak to three games Vea tallied four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 51-27 win over the Saints.
Impact Vea logged a sack in his third straight game Sunday, as he got to Spencer Rattler midway through the second quarter, which led to a Blake Grupe 29-yard field goal on the next play. Vea is up to 3.0 sacks on the year, and he'll look to extend his sack streak to four games in Week 7 against the elusive Lamar Jackson.

Impact Vea opened the Buccaneers' week of practice with back-to-back limited estimations, but he was able to log a full session Wednesday and is now in line to suit up Thursday night. Expect Vea to serve as Tampa Bay's top interior defensive lineman in Week 5's divisional matchup.

Estimated as limited Vea (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact Vea returned to the field in Week 4 after missing the Buccaneers' Week 3 loss to the Broncos, posting three total tackles across 38 defensive snaps. The 2018 first-round pick will likely still suit up for Tampa Bay's divisional matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night unless his participation downgrades Tuesday or Wednesday.
