Report: Antonio Brown Expected to Rejoin Buccaneers on Monday Following Suspension

Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown is set to rejoin the team Monday following his three-game suspension for violating NFL/NFLPA joint COVID-19 protocols, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The suspension came following a two-week investigation that showed Brown, along with safety Mike Edwards and former receiver John Franklin III, submitted fake vaccination cards. According to SI's Albert Breer, the three players produced cards purportedly from Citrus County, an area about an hour and a half from Tampa to which none of the players had any connection.

The trio was suspended three games without pay by the league and did not appeal the suspension.
