As if the last-second loss wasn’t enough, there was another scare the Buccaneers had to deal with due to the game in Cincinnati this weekend, as Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the team feared first round pick Vita Vea tore his ACL during the game.
Buccaneers feared Sunday that first-round pick Vita Vea tore his ACL. But an MRI today came back negative and Vea's ACL is intact, per source. Buccaneers feel fortunate that Vea escaped serious injury.

The tests came back negative, which had to be a huge relief. Vea has been a starter for this team with Gerald McCoy also out with injury.
