On a day where the weather was about as nice as you could possibly ask for the final day in July in Tampa Bay, the defense showed their stuff and, for the most part, got the better of the offense.
But the encouraging performance didn’t come without discouraging news. That came when we caught Bucs first round pick defensive tackle Vita Vea rolling out to practice with a cart and his lower leg in a walking boot.
Vea left practice on Sunday with a limp and his leg totally wrapped with ice. After practice Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said he wasn’t sure what the diagnosis was.
From the looks of it, we assumed it was a calf strain, but a boot seems like overkill for just a calf strain. We’ll have to wait a few days to see what the timetable might really be.
