TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who was accused this week of obtaining a fake COVID-19 vaccination card, has been ruled out for Monday Night Football against the New York Giants, coach Bruce Arians said Saturday.
Brown has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles and, although he has made progress, he did not practice with the team this week.
Earlier this week, Brown's former live-in chef, Steven Ruiz, who also took on the role of a personal assistant, accused the veteran receiver of obtaining a fake COVID-19 vaccine card and said that Brown had obtained it from a Bucs teammate.
