Sort of a weird official injury report.

Despite fully participating in each practice this week, reserve OLB Anthony Nelson is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game with the Dixie Chicks. Nelson is trying to bounce back from a concussion.

Stud defensive tackle Vita Vea is also questionable with a bum foot. Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Vea’s foot was sore this week sort of out of the blue, not from a game or practice injury.

Meanwhile, the Dixie Chicks are at full strength with no player on their injury report.

Extra work.

Sorry, Coach Bowles, but when your brief, on-field news conference was on YouTube after practice today, Joe was much more interested in what was happening in the background. [read more]
