The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost key defensive piece, Vita Vea, to injury, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches will have to answer the call.
Vita Vea has sneakily been one of the best defensive players for the Buccaneers to start this season, and now, the Bucs will have to play without him for the rest of the season. The Bucs lost Vea to injury in the painful loss to Chicago, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches is the next man up on the depth chart.
Losing Vea hurts, but the Bucs are hopeful that Nunez-Roches could step up in a dire time of need.
