This news comes following an investigation into the team that showed Brown's usage of a fake vaccination card to avoid the daily testing process for unvaccinated players. He is currently serving a three-game suspension as punishment and is currently eligible to return on December 26 in a Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. He is also dealing with a high-ankle sprain that has kept him out since Week 6. If the Bucs do plan to part ways with Brown, expect wide receiver Tyler Johnson to be asked to step into a larger role behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in the pass-heavy offense.
Brown has notched 29 receptions on 42 targets for 418 yards and four touchdowns in five games this season.
