There is a reason Jason Licht brought in so many new defensive linemen this offseason. Yes to upgrade the talent, but also to provide depth. And while it is not know if it is a significant injury or just a minor tweak, first round pick Vita Vea suffered some sort of leg injury early in practice in an 11-on-11 drill and after limping of the field where he was wrapped he was then carted off and eventually made his way to the Bucs locker room.
