Out for season
Vea suffered a season-ending leg injury in Thursday's loss to the Bears and was placed on injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Vea suffered a broken leg Thursday, an injury he won't be able to recover from this season. It's a major loss for the Buccaneers, as the 2018 first-round pick has handled a major workload and produced two sacks through the first five games. If the recovery goes as planned, Vea should be ready to begin the 2021 campaign. Rakeem Nunez-Roches is expected to start at nose tackle moving forward.

Likely done for the year
Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Vea suffered a broken leg during Thursday's loss to the Bears, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Vea had to be carted off the field late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss, and Arians confirms that the severity of his injury is likely season-ending. Expect the 25-year-old to officially land on IR in the near future. Rakeem Nunez-Roches is likely to handle an expanded defensive role going forward.

Broken ankle suspected
Vea is feared to have suffered a fractured ankle during Thursday's loss to the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old was carted off the field after his ankle was rolled up on during the fourth quarter Thursday, and he may have suffered a season-ending injury. Vea is undergoing further testing Friday to confirm the diagnosis in what would be a huge loss for the Tampa Bay defense.

Carted off the field
Vea was carted off the field Thursday against the Bears, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It appeared that Vea's ankle was rolled up on late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's contest. With the big defensive tackle out for the remainder of the contest, look for Rakeem Nunez-Roches to see an uptick in snaps.

Full participant in camp
Vea (hand) has been a full participant in training camp, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Vea has made a full recovery from hand surgery he underwent at the end of June. The defensive tackle has impressed at camp with his lateral quickness as he heads into his third season.

Ready when pads come on
Vea (hand) will be ready for padded practices when they begin later in August, but he'll initially sport a club for added protection, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Vea underwent what was described as a minor procedure in late June on his hand, but the delay in the start of padded practices this summer will apparently buy him enough time to be ready Day 1. The mammoth defensive tackle once again is expected to be an integral part of a front seven that helped the Buccaneers defense rank tops in the NFL in rush yards per game allowed (73.8) in 2019.

Gets work done on hand
Vea recently underwent a minor procedure for a hand surgery, but he should be ready for the start of the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The same is not guaranteed with respect to training camp, as there is a chance the mammoth defensive tackle's recovery time does extend until some point in August. Vea, who logged a career-high 35 tackles in 2019, joins teammate Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) as the second member of the Buccaneers defense to undergo a surgical procedure over the last several days.

Solid second season
Vea recorded 35 tackles (19 solo), 2.5 sacks and three defensed passes across 16 games during the 2019 season. He also failed to complete one pass attempt and logged a one-yard touchdown reception.
Analysis: The 2018 first-round pick was able to navigate groin and neck issues to play in all 16 games, although he logged under 50 snaps in 11 of those contests. Vea also continued to play a key role on special teams, and as a result of playing the full season, he slightly upped his tackle tally over that of his rookie campaign (28). Although Vea has yet to force or recover a fumble during his first two pro seasons, the jumbo-sized tackle was a key element of the Buccaneers' top-ranked run defense (73.8…read more

Active on both sides of ball
Vea recorded two tackles (one solo), including one sack, two passes defensed and a one-yard touchdown reception in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: The jumbo-sized defensive tackle made his presence felt on both sides of the ball in the win, notching his first career offensive touchdown in the waning moments of the first half while also wreaking havoc on defense. Vea is an integral part of a defensive front that's allowing an NFC-low 78.7 rushing yards per game, and he's now surpassed his rookie-season tally of 28 tackles by one stop in two less games than he suited up for in 2018.
