Bucs DT Vita Vea ‘doubtful’ for Week 3 against the Broncos

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost defensive tackle Vita Vea to a leg injury during last week's win in Detroit over the Lions. While he escaped major injury with an MCL sprain, there is some uncertainty ahead of Sunday's home game against the Denver Broncos .

The Bucs have listed Vea as doubtful for Week 3 and head coach Todd Bowles poke on Friday about how they will approach Vea's availability for Sunday.

"He did some things [in practice]," said Bowles. "He's gotten a lot better. We'll see how much better he gets until Sunday. If not, we'll put him down; if we're feeling good, we'll see where he is."

Tampa Bay will be without right tackle Luke Goedeke who has been dealing with concussion symptoms since the opener. Safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. also remains out as he is battling a foot injury and defensive tackle Calijah Kancey has also been ruled out for the third time in as many weeks with a calf injury as the Bucs are easing him onto the field and playing it safe with their second-year defensive lineman.

The rest of this week's injury report between the Buccaneers and Broncos is posted below.
