For the first time all season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ top two draft selections took the field.
For Vea, this would be his first snaps as a Buccaneer in general. He missed the entire preseason with the same injury.
Jones, was a healthy scratch for the first three games. He got off to a slow start in the preseason, and the coaching staff wasn’t comfortable with his pass catching. Plus, injuries at other positions made it hard to dress four running backs on gameday.
Expectations are high for both players in the long-term, but this week was merely their first taste.
