Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Sua Opeta, who was competing for the starting left guard job, suffered a torn ACL at an indoor training camp practice Tuesday evening, Jeremy Fowler of ESP reports via Jenna Laine of ESPN.  This according to sources.

Opeta, an undrafted free agent who served as a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles the past four years, was engaged in a head-to-head competition with Ben Bredeson, who, like Opeta, signed this offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Coach Todd Bowles had praised both players' work in the offseason program and said it was the battle he was most looking forward to in camp when the pads came on. The two had been rotating starting reps with padded practices beginning Monday.
