Fast recovery: Bucs' Vea will play against 49ers

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea, who missed one month with a sprained LCL in his left knee will be active Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Bucs head coach Bruce Arians announced Friday.

"He came in great shape and maintained it," said Arians, adding that Vea wouldn't be on any type of a snap count despite just returning to practice this week.

"I feel good," Vea said. "I've been working out with the strength staff. The training room, they've been running me to the ground so I feel good.
