Defensive tackle Vita Vea and wide receiver Mike Evans, two of the Buccaneers’ top stars, will play on “Monday Night Football” against the Ravens.
Vea was questionable after being added to the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury. The massive 6-foot-4, 347-pounder is a run-stopping force who can also bully blockers into the backfield and will be the toughest test yet this season for Ravens Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum.
Evans has long been one of the league’s top receivers, with 10 straight seasons over 1,000 receiving yards to start his career. Evans (hamstring) didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday but was off the injury report Saturday. He and Chris Godwin are one of the NFL’s top wide receiver duos.
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 T.J. Tampa will also play.
Running back Chris Collier was moved up to the 53-man roster with rookie running back Ali (ankle) out, and inside linebacker Kirstian Welch was activated from the practice squad with Harrison (groin) sidelined.
