Report: Antonio Brown Won't Play for Bucs vs. Rams After Being Placed on COVID List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown will not play in his team's road game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Tampa placed the Central Michigan product on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. He was the third Buccaneer to land on the list this week alongside linebacker Kevin Minter and practice squad wideout Travis Jonsen.

As Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk noted, Bucs head coach Bruce Arians previously said the entire Bucs roster was vaccinated.

That would mean Brown is vaccinated, so NFL rules state that he would need two negative COVID-19 tests 24 hours apart in order to return.
