Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea will need some dental work after Sunday.

During the team’s road game against the Indianapolis Colts, Vea smashed his face into Colts offensive guard Mark Glowinski’s helmet. 

Vea, a four-year pro, had his own helmet come loose, which left the bottom portion of his face exposed. His mouth filled with blood and he lost a tooth.

"I don’t care. He’s got 30 other ones," Bucs head coach Bruce Arians joked.

In nine games played this season, Vea has 19 tackles with two passes defended, one fumble recovery and one sack.
