Vita Vea Designated To Return Off Injured Reserve, Unlikely To Play In NFC Championship

Vita Vea was activated and is available to practice after his stint on Injured Reserve. This brings hope for a possible return this season, as he had an ankle fracture dislocation in October. Although it is good to see his practice window opened up, it would be unrealistic to think that he could play in the NFC Championship game. If the Bucs can beat the Packers, and move on to the Super Bowl, it then might be possible for him to be activated and to contribute on a limited basis. Steve McLendon will still be taking the bulk of the snaps, but any help from Vea would be welcomed.
