Buccaneers' Sua Opeta Out for Season with Torn ACL

The offensive lineman suffered the injury during practice, impacting Tampa Bay's depth chart and preseason plans.

Opeta was competing for the starting left guard position after signing with the Buccaneers this offseason.
He previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles, appearing in multiple games over four seasons.
The Buccaneers had invested significantly in upgrading their offensive line this year.
Coach Todd Bowles had high expectations for Opeta and his competitor, Ben Bredeson.
The team may now seek additional depth to compensate for Opeta's absence.
