Giants reportedly interested in Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea ahead of the November 10 trade deadline.
Big Blue View, a Giants fan blog, cites FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano reporting that the Giants 'love' the 31-year-old Vea and would be aggressive in pursuing him. The blog says the Giants have also been linked to other defensive linemen this offseason, and its author doubts Tampa Bay will move Vea. The trade deadline is November 10.

Bears host the Buccaneers Sunday night at 8:20 PM ET, with three Chicago players questionable.
According to Windy City Gridiron, the Bears are seeking a fourth straight win and the Buccaneers a third in a row. Running back Kyle Monangai, who has missed four games with a toe injury, is questionable but unlikely to play after his first practice in a month, per the blog. Cornerbacks Malik Muhammad and Tyrique Stevenson are also questionable, while left tackle Theo Benedet and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett practiced in full. Tampa Bay will be without outside linebacker YaYa Diaby, who has 3 sacks this year, because of a knee injury.
