Will play Sunday Vea (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Vea was unable to play in Week 3, but he'll return to the field in Week 4 against Philadelphia. The return of the Washington product is great news for Tampa Bay's defense front, as one of the best run-stoppers in the league.

Listed as questionable for Week 4 Vea (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Vea sprained the MCL in his right knee in Week 2 against the Lions, which forced him to sit out Week 3 against the Broncos. The 2018 first-round pick was a limited participant in all three practices this week, and he has given himself a fair shot at returning Sunday from a one-game absence. Greg Gaines would continue to see extended snaps at nose tackle if Vea was ruled out for Sunday's game or operated on a snap count.

Officially ruled out for Week 3 Vea (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Vea was initially tagged as doubtful for Sunday's game after not practicing all week. Now that he's been ruled out, his next opportunity to play will be Week 4 against the Eagles on Sept. 29. Greg Gaines will step up into the starting nose tackle role and enforce the Bucs' interior defensive line.

Unlikely to play Sunday Vea (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Vea is working through a Grade 2 MCL sprain he sustained in the Bucs' Week 2 win over the Lions. He opened the week with back-to-back DNP's, and while he was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, the 2018 first-round pick isn't expected to suit up Sunday. Greg Gaines is the top candidate to slot into the starting nose tackle spot should Vea be inactive.

DNP to open week Vea (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vea suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in Tampa Bay's Week 2 win over Detroit, and the 2018 first-round pick is considered day-to-day. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Vea was expected to undergo an MRI on Monday, which likely led to this diagnosis. The potentially quick return for the Washington product would be great news for the Buccaneers' defensive front, with Vea being one of the premier run-stoppers in the game. A final verdict on his ability to play in Week 3 against the Broncos probably won't be available until closer to kickoff Sunday though.

Impact Vea went down in the second half of Sunday's game and didn't return. He's slated for an MRI on Monday, which should provide clarity about his injury and his status moving forward. If Vea is unable to suit up Week 3 versus Denver, Greg Gaines would likely take over as Tampa Bay's starting nose tackle.

Spotted with knee brace Vea was seen with a brace on his right knee following Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vea was ruled out early in the second half of Sunday's game due to a knee injury. The 2018 first-round pick will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Vea's practice participation leading up to Week 3 against the Eagles will be closely monitored, and if he's unable to play, then Greg Gaines would slide into the starting nose tackle spot while C.J. Brewer serves as the backup.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Vea has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions due to a knee injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The Buccaneers were without Calijah Kancey (calf) for Sunday's game, and they'll now be down another starting defensive lineman in Vea. Greg Gaines will take over for Vea as the primary nose tackle for the rest of the game while C.J. Brewer provides depth.
