TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft pick Vita Vea officially has a strained left calf and will be out a "couple of weeks," a source told ESPN on Tuesday.
He is not expected to miss any regular-season games, the source said.
"It was better than we thought," said coach Dirk Koetter, who initially feared that it was a torn Achilles.
Vea was able to gingerly limp off the practice field Sunday, but he had to be carted to the locker room. The injury happened on a run play during 11-on-11 drills.
