Vita Vea Returns — In Shorts
June 16th, 2026UPDATED: Manbeast Bucs defensive tackle Vita Vea is attending the team’s manadatory minicamp this morning — there were no reports of him attending prior spring practices — but he’s in shorts and a baseball hat and it seems he won’t participate in on-field work.
Vea looks leaner and like he’s been busy in the weight room with Ndamukong Suh. Bucs fans can assess below.
Todd Bowles said after practice that Vea is healthy but the Bucs don’t need to see him in a no-pads practice.

I dont want to jinx things but Gosh oh Golly this Defense should be vastly improved from the Putrid Pass Defense we all have scars from these last couple of years. LBs (washed up LVD) should be better. Secondary minus Limp Dean with a spark from Miami and this DL should be tough with Bain now in there. Maybe just maybe Bowles D will be able to get a REal Pass Rush and get off the field on 3rd downs. This Offense is going to be legit as long as that O-Line stays intact. Get Baker signed and LFG!!

Hanging out with Suh, Vita’s wallet probably picked up whatever weight he lost.

Vea finally looks muscled up.
Good for him and good for us.
He should be able to just strait up throw blockers out if his way even more so now.
