Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown was ruled out of this weekend's NFC Championship game with the Green Bay Packers after failing to recover from a knee injury, head coach Bruce Arians said Friday.
Brown tweaked a knee during the Bucs 30-20 NFL divisional round win over the New Orleans Saints, and was kept on the sidelines for much of the game.
Although a subsequent MRI scan revealed no serious damage, Arians said the 32-year-old was not fully recovered for Sunday's game at Lambeau Field, where the Bucs will battle the Packers for a place in the Super Bowl.
