Vita Vea Out For Buccaneers Defense
1 year agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be missing another key defender in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, as defensive tackle Vita Vea (toe) has been ruled out. In addition, the Bucs will be without linebacker Devin White (foot) and cornerback Jamel Dean (ankle, foot) yet again. Vea is the team's best run-stopper at nose tackle and has 33 tackles, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles this year for the Bucs, so his absence is pretty notable this weekend against a Falcons team that loves to run the rock more often than not. With the 28-year-old Vea sidelined on Sunday, Greg Gaines will see more playing time on the Buccaneers' defensive line.
