Vea Should Be Active
September 30th, 2018
NFL debut expected today.
Rejoice Bucs fans, that day appears to be here.
Per Adam Schefter of BSPN, the Bucs’ first-round draft pick this past spring is expected to make his NFL debut against the Bears this afternoon on the bank of Lake Michigan.
It will be the first time Bucs fans will be able to get a look at Vea wearing Bucs gear as he suffered a mysterious calf injury early in training camp and was out of commission for nearly two months.
For those that embrace the notion Florida is to hot for Vea, note that the temperatures for today’s game are expected to be in the low 60s.

Vita who?
September 30th, 2018 at 9:05 am
Just do your job
September 30th, 2018 at 9:06 am
OMG!!!!!!!!
Are we actually going to see Bigfoot play today??????
I will be absolutely shocked if he plays more 10 snaps because they don’t want him to retweek that mysterious calf injury?????
……………no the icing on the cake would be if ROJO actually plays too????

Good luck big guy. Wish you well in your first start and hope you have a decent showing clogging up run lanes for a run heavy team.

According to reports, Vita looked strong in practice. Excited to see what he has. He was a monster in College.

Also according to Greg Auman, “Bucs inactives we can anticipate: DT Allen, QB Griffin, OLs Liedtke and Cappa, DE (likely Spence), CB (Elliott or injury) and one more”
Does this mean RoJo might be suiting up today?
September 30th, 2018 at 9:17 am
Also, it looks like Justin Watson might be suiting up in place of Freddie Martino.
September 30th, 2018 at 9:18 am
Yeah
I’ll tell you what…….ROJO and VEA could actually be X factors today because the bears don’t have any tape on those two

VV Microbus!!
Beep! Beep!!
September 30th, 2018 at 9:19 am
……And safety Godwin Igwebuike did not get on the plane to Chicago which is a good sign that Jordan Whitehead will play and start today.
September 30th, 2018 at 9:19 am
Martino is just big mystery
He looks great at times and then awful at other times
Watson plays like mike evans but with less speed….he’s more of a possession receiver
September 30th, 2018 at 9:33 am
Hey Buc fams lets be excited and stop being negative !!!!
VV Do your thing big boy
Rojo hice hin The ball and let’s see a 40 plus yard run
Please don’t run outside don’t thjbk we have gained a yard trying that all season (include preseason)

VEA & ROJO – MERRY CHRISTMAS PEWTER PEOPLE!

@AlabamaBucsFan
Why would they bring Igwe along? If they wanted to activate him to the main roster they would’ve already done that after Conte got put on IR, instead they went ahead and signed a short, no name safety who used to be on the Giants.

I think Jason Licht has done a great job as our GM for the short time he’s been here
…….but now I’m starting to think he, the whole scouting department, and mike smith do not know how to spot Defensive backs
We’ve been dealing with the same crap for over two years…….this has to stop

@OneBucPerson – “Why would they bring Igwe along?
Conte is out on IR and Whitehead was injured. Igwe was next in line to fill out the safety spot.

Glad to hear V V may be active. Wish his first action wasn’t on a sloppy wet field, that can’t be good for the worst calf injury ever.
Go Bucs!
September 30th, 2018 at 10:30 am
God I just hope he hasn’t gotten influenced by GMC and became a big ol softie… oh wait he “hurt” his calf first week of training camp and he also can’t take the Florida heat (even though he is from the South Pacific)
September 30th, 2018 at 10:31 am
BucsAnthem- what are you talking about? Evans, Davis, Stewart and Whitehead all look like quality players. VH3 was starting to look like something as well before his injury. WTH are you looking for?
September 30th, 2018 at 10:40 am
Oh man Bopeep will really be pissed if they dress Jameis. And ifhe plays?
September 30th, 2018 at 10:55 am
Vita was raised on the west coast in a temperate climate. The heat and humidity of Florida is definitely NOT what he is used to. He will adapt.

I think that he had a hairline fracture of the tibia, the non weight bearing bone in the calf. would take 6 wks at least to heal

——————————————————————————————————————
Just an FYI:
The tibia is the big bone in the lower leg, the one most people refer to as the shinbone. The fibula is the smaller bone on the lateral (outer) part of the lower leg.
