TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' growing list of key players missing games due to injury will now include wide receiver Antonio Brown, whom coach Bruce Arians ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to an ankle injury.
Brown missed practice all week with a sprained ankle, which he suffered in the Bucs' 28-22 win over the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday. But the extra rest wasn't enough for Sunday.
It will be Brown's second game missed this season after missing Week 3 due to COVID-19. Brown's 418 receiving yards are second-most on the team - just two shy of Mike Evans and nine more than Chris Godwin.
