Antonio Brown Won't Play for Buccaneers vs. Bears Because of Ankle Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown will miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears with an ankle injury.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians announced Friday that Brown, tight end Rob Gronkowski, linebacker Lavonte David and cornerback Richard Sherman will all be held out of the Week 7 contest, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Brown is reportedly dealing with a sprained ankle that caused him to miss Thursday's practice.

The 33-year-old Brown has played well since joining the Bucs in the 2020 season, catching 45 passes for 483 yards and four touchdowns in eight games last season.
