The national media will frequently talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers injuries, which is warranted. However, Erik McCoy being out is arguably the most impactful injury. The New Orleans Saints will have to find a way to slow down Vita Vea, or else he will wreck the game.
Vea has 2.5 sacks and 17 pressures in 2025. The 30 year old veteran is still playing at a high level. The Saints are used to Vea having a major impact. Last season, he had a sack in each of their matchups.
Luke Fortner is set to start for the Saints at center.
