Vita Vea Back On The Practice Field

This article first appeared on RotoBaller.com.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf), the team’s first-round pick, is back in pads at practice on Thursday for the first time since his injury. Vea is unlikely to return in Week 3 on Monday against the Steelers, but it’s a good sign that he’s progressing toward making his NFL debut. His return will help boost a pass rush that could really need it.
