Buccaneers w/Vita Vea, Mike Evans Active vs. Ravens

Defensive tackle Vita Vea and wide receiver Mike Evans, two of the Buccaneers’ top stars, will play against the Ravens on “Monday Night Football.”

Vea was questionable after being added to the injury report on Saturday with a hamstring injury. The towering 6-foot-1, 347-pounder is a run-stopping force who can also bully blockers into the backfield and will be the toughest test yet for Ravens Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum this season.

Evans has long been one of the league’s top receivers, with 10 straight seasons of over 1,000 receiving yards to start his career. Evans (hamstring) did not train on Thursday and Friday, but was left off the injury report on Saturday. He and Chris Godwin are one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL.

Bucs running back Rachaad White, who was questionable with a foot injury, is also active.

The Ravens’ inactives are:

With wide receiver/returner Deonte Harty placed on injured reserve this week, rookie wide receiver Devontez Walker is active for his first game. Rookie cornerback TJ Tampa will also play.

Running back Chris Collier was moved up to the 53-man roster, while rookie Ali (ankle) ran out, and inside linebacker Kirstian Welch was activated from the practice squad with Harrison (groin) sidelined.
