NFL.com: Vita Vea Injury Status
September 15th, 2024
Injury info.
There is “hope” the Bucs may have dodged a major bullet.
NFL.com reporter Ian Rapoport reports this evening that the initial diagnosis of Vita Vea’s injury is that he suffered an MCL sprain and there is hope it won’t be an “extended absence.”
Vita will undergo an MRI test tomorrow, per Rapoport, but Bucs types are crossing their fingers Vea’s injury is not major.
Vea suffered the injury under friendly fire early in the third quarter of today’s win over the Lions. YaYa Diaby fell into Vea’s leg and he buckled.

Thank you Baby Jesus

Greg Gaines will be ready to go..
September 15th, 2024 at 6:32 pm
I thought for sure it was Logan Hall who fell on him.
September 15th, 2024 at 6:34 pm
They shouldn’t need him vs Denver, but if he plays pitch count him.
September 15th, 2024 at 6:42 pm
Thats awesome. We need better depth outside of Greg Gaines
September 15th, 2024 at 6:43 pm
Thought it was a sprain. Hopefully 2-4 weeks out. Gaines filled in nicely for Vita. Gholston and Brewer really did awesome too.
September 15th, 2024 at 6:52 pm
Probably going to be 3-4 weeks. Denver then Eagles and Atlanta on Thursday night football hopefully he doesn’t miss anymore games than that.
September 15th, 2024 at 6:57 pm
When I was listening to a post-game show and the host said be prepared to be without Vita for a “few weeks” like it was something bad, my old butt nearly did a cartwheel.
Nearly.

Don’t rush any defensive players next week vs the Broncos. Their offense is a mess
September 15th, 2024 at 7:22 pm
How many times have we heard friendly fire with this team
September 15th, 2024 at 7:28 pm
Somebody here says we won’t need Vita at Denver. A word of caution…every game is different. Just remember. On any given Sunday you don’t come to play, your lunch will be handed to you no matter the team.
September 15th, 2024 at 7:34 pm
I’d rather see him take all the time he needs to heal 100% than to come back too soon.
Denver, Philly and Atlanta next, then we get into a real test in the few weeks after that. Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers, and the slimy Saints, who are also 2-0 and whupped the Cowboys today.

I know Joe has said it 1,000,000 times but I say we try to convince Hason Reddick he wants to come play here offer the jets some peanuts?
September 15th, 2024 at 7:49 pm
At least we see Nix before the game starts slowing down for him
September 15th, 2024 at 8:07 pm
Mike Johnson, spot on:
“Somebody here says we won’t need Vita at Denver. A word of caution…every game is different. Just remember. On any given Sunday you don’t come to play, your lunch will be handed to you no matter the team.“
Dallas and SF. Last week they We’re meeting in the NFC championship game. This week they are exposed.

Joe has said it 1,000,000 times. Hasson Reddick trade Jets get Bag O Peanuts…

————-
The Jets think they’re a SB team, they’re not giving him up for a bag of peanuts – not to mention Reddick wants paid like a top rusher in the NFL. If you sign him, who are you giving up next year? Godwin? Perhaps Luke in 2 years. The cap is flexible but not infinite.
Plus who is to say Bowles would even use him to blitz, probably would get him and just have him stand back in zone … because they’ll never see it coming.
Reddick isn’t coming.
However a new backup RT is a must. Want to trade for someone, that should be it. At the very least better get someone sitting at home now or off another teams practice squad.

At this point, I think Bucs offer JTS a few million to hang around next year

I don’t know how that plays out. Said all offseason he’s better than people think, even if he’s not a star, and it wouldn’t shock me if he ends up having like an 8-sack season.
Problem is, when FA happens, he’s still just 25 years old. If he’s 25, coming off a 7 or 8 sack season, people are going to pay him a lot more than a few million.
In any case, he’s played a couple of good games and made a handful of big plays so far this season. Hopefully he can keep it up. Again, he’s a guy that didn’t play much in college, and took a year off, and was a part-time starter. He might just be a guy who is slow to develop – and even then at his peak is merely a decent starter, but you need those guys to fill out a roster.

I’ll bet it was Hall, and the Bucs are smart enough to blame someone else.
Greg Gaines played OUTSTANDING today.
But we have no one to back Gaines up- if he has to be the starter.
I really hope Vea is ok.
And we GOTTA get Goedeke back on the field!

JTS’s 5th year contract that the Bucs opted out and probably regret it would have been 13.5m. If he plays like he has so far and only has 7-9 sacks he will still get around 15m a year. Scott R. from PR did a great article on JTS’s potential salary back in June. So I don’t think he’s playing for the Bucs next year for a couple of million bucks.

I knew what happened to Vita when the play happened, I prayed from there. I didn’t see replay, so I assumed he wasn’t injured, I went to grab a bite, came back to people asking what happened. I saw YaYa hit him and him going down, I figured they didn’t show anything about it because multiple people asked what happened.

15 mil for JTS? Oh god no. Need a lot of help in next year’s draft. Edge, 2 guards, DT, ILB.

Hope to hear more after Vita’s MRI and that it isn’t a major injury.
