Barring injury, Antonio Brown likely will play Sunday night against the Patriots.
The Buccaneers on Thursday officially activated the star receiver off the COVID-19 reserve list. Brown missed Tampa Bay's Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Rams while in COVID protocol.
The 33-year-old will give Tom Brady another dangerous weapon to work with against New England's iffy secondary. Brown caught six balls for 138 yards and a touchdown over his first two games of the season.
Of course, Sunday night also will serve as a reunion for Brown, who played one game for the Patriots in 2019.
New England and Tampa Bay will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET.
