The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been dealing with some injuries, most notably with Mike Evans. However, there is also a major injury on the defensive side that is worth monitoring: Vita Vea.
Vita Vea missed some time earlier in the season, and since he returned to the lineup, the entire defense has had a facelift. The run defense he offers as well as his ability to get pressure on the quarterback.
We got an update on his status for the game against the Ravens in primetime early on Monday.
Vita Vea injury update
Vita Vea popped up on the injury report late at the end of last week with a hamstring injury. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Vea will be available and start for the Bucs on Monday night despite the issue.
Vea has a sack in three straight games for the Bucs since returning to the lineup. He will have a tall task to do som against reigning MVP Lamar Jackson. His presence alone will help the defense, but it is yet to be seen how impactful he will be with his injury or if he will be on a snap count.
