Antonio Brown is nearing his return to the NFL following his three-game suspension — which ends after Week 15 — but his future with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is uncertain.
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians, speaking to reporters Monday, was noncommittal regarding the wide receiver’s return to the team.
“I haven’t made that determination yet, but we’ll see how it goes,” Arians said, via Jenna Laine of ESPN.
Brown — as well as safety Mike Edwards and former Buccaneers wide receiver John Franklin III — was found to have used a fake COVID-19 vaccination card following an NFL investigation, which stemmed from an allegation from his former personal chef.
Using a fake vaccine card also is a federal crime.
Whatever the decision, the Buccaneers likely will manage, considering Brown hasn’t played since Week 6 due to both suspension and injury.
