Bucs DL Vita Vea (calf) doubtful to return vs. 49ers

It looks like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to finish Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers without their best defensive lineman.

Nose tackle Vita Vea left during the first series of the game with a calf injury, and he’s officially doubtful to return.

Vea has been limited by a foot injury in recent weeks, and losing him for the rest of this game would be a huge blow, as the Bucs try to defend a 49ers offense loaded with talented playmakers.
