Vita Vea Has A Chance To Play Sunday
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said on Wednesday that defensive tackle Vita Vea (ankle), who has been out since Week 5 with a fractured ankle, looked good after taking part in the team's walkthrough practice. Arians thought that Vea had a chance to return after watching him run in a pool around three weeks ago. Vea was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Monday, but it remains to be seen if he'll come off IR by Sunday to play in the NFC Championship against the Packers. If the 25-year-old is able to suit up against Green Bay, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, who has handled nose-tackle duties in Vea's absence, will move back to more of a rotational role along Tampa's strong defensive line.
