The Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to have few complaints in the injury department heading into their Week 7 divisional matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. They have just two players on the Thursday injury report, but one happens to be a rather large concern:

Defensive tackle Vita Vea (foot) is the only player who missed practice. The main concern is that he is trending the wrong way, after he was a limited participant on Wednesday. As one the Bucs’ best and most important defenders, his injury status on Friday will bear significant scrutiny from both teams.
The Falcons continue to be the picture of health, listing no players on the injury report for a second consecutive day. The only other player on the Bucs’ injury report is linebacker Anthony Nelson (concussion), but as a full participant two days in a row, he is on the right path to play on Sunday.
