  • Vea posted five tackles (four solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Vea's tackle tally was a season-high figure and marked his fifth game this season with at least three stops. Vea remains a key run-stopping presence in his seventh season, and he's also contributed 3.0 sacks after recording 12 over the previous two campaigns.

  • 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. 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 a game-time decision for Monday's game unless the team announces his status earlier. Greg Gaines started at nose tackle for Vea earlier in the year while the latter was dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee.

  • Vea tallied four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 51-27 win over the Saints. 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.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Estimated as limited
    By RotoWire

    Vea (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation. Vea returned to the field in Week 4 after missing the Buccaneers' Week 3 loss to the Broncos, posting three total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, 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.

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