Restructures contract
Tampa Bay restructured Vea's contract Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact
Vea, who signed a four-year, $73 million extension in January of 2022, will have a large portion of his 2023 salary converted into a signing bonus. The veteran defensive tackle was expected to make $12.5 million in 2023, but his new deal will save Tampa Bay nearly $9 million in cap space.

Will play Monday
Vea (calf) is active for Monday's wild-card matchup against Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
As expected, Vea will be active for the playoff matchup after missing three of Tampa Bay's final four regular-season games due to a calf issue. Despite not logging a full practice throughout prep, the 2018 first-round pick's presence should provide a major boost the interior of the Buccaneers' defense.

Appears ready to roll
Vea (calf) is expected to play in Monday's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact
Although Vea has now missed three out of Tampa Bay's last four contests due to a calf issue, he's anticipated to suit up and start at nose tackle versus Dallas on Monday. The 347-pounder strung together three consecutive limited practices worth of preparation, and he's is now in line to make running through the interior a difficult task for the Cowboys' ball carriers.

ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Monday night
Vea (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus Dallas.
Impact
Vea was limited at practice Saturday, so his status for the wild-card round appears to be a coin-flip proposition. If the Pro Bowler is forced to sit out, Rakeem Nunez-Roches would start at nose tackle for Tampa Bay.

Still limited
Vea (calf) was a limited participant during Friday's practice, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports.
Impact
Vea has missed back-to-back practices due to a calf injury that sidelined him for Week 18. It's encouraging to see the veteran defensive tackle back in action, albeit in a limited fashion, but he'll likely have to log a full session Saturday to avoid an injury designation for Monday's wild-card matchup against Dallas.
