Vita Vea Knocks Out Tooth During Bucs-Colts
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers played the Indianapolis Colts today. The audience received a reminder of how violent the game of football is when Vita Vea lost a tooth while rushing the passer.
Seriously. This happened. Vea was charging up the middle trying to take down Carson Wentz and his helmet got knocked slightly ajar, leaving his jaw exposed. Vea then took a helmet to the face and you can see his tooth fly out. Viewers with a queasy stomach, beware.
Vita Vea needs to talk to Steven Stamkos about a dentist recommendation after losing a tooth on this play. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/NJS6CEYryS

Vea seemed fine afterwards, fortunately, walking to the sideline with a big grin and blood dripping out of his mouth.

Ouch. Luckily, Vea can afford a good dentist.
