Bucs DL Vita Vea (foot) misses practice, status for Sunday unclear

Bucs P Jake Camarda named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be without one of their most important players for Week 12.

Defensive lineman Vita Vea missed practice Wednesday with a foot injury, and his status for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns is still up in the air, head coach Todd Bowles told the media.

Vita has been a dominant force for the Bucs again this season, racking up 6.5 sacks so far, a rare number for a nose tackle.

The return of Akiem Hicks, along with Vea’s presence, has been a huge boost to Tampa Bay’s run defense. Being without either of them would be an equally large blow as the team prepares to face one of the league’s better rushing offenses in Cleveland.
