Vita Vea among Bucs rookies who have yet to show spectacular returns

A breakdown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2018 draft class and its progress after three weeks of training camp:

Vita Vea, DT, Round 1: Vea suffered a strained calf at the beginning of camp and has not returned to practice. He has shed his walking boot and is not expected to miss any regular-season games. He's also kept his weight down. He's not getting actual football reps now, so it might be some time before Vea's true impact is felt.

Ronald Jones II, RB, Round 2: Jones' transition has been a slow one, and it's because of his hands.
