Will have MRI tomorrow... would be huge blow to Bucs defensive line that is already going to miss Jason Pierre-Paul for a good part of the year.

Certainly don't wish injuries on anyone... that being said, we play the Bucs in Week 2 & Week 6

Jesus, hate to see a guy go down like that and immediately grab the knee. 

Yep... He did walk off under his own power, but the non-contact nature of it and the fact they are having to wait a day on the MRI indicates their is probably swelling.

Feel for the guy... he has spent a lot of his NFL career so far fighting injury.

Vea dodged a bullet.  Still gotta get his 340 pound ass in shape though.

Following his MRI, good news for #Bucs 2018 first-round DT Vita Vea. Sources say he can return within the first 4 weeks of the season but no surgery is required for his knee injury. Or what @MikeGarafolo tweeted a few days ago. Should miss minimal game time. (Fixed earlier tweet)

We play them in week 2 and he will be out. And he won’t be in game shape by week 6.  

Look for a big day on the ground. 

With that said hope he comes back and balls out the rest of the season.

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
