Buccaneers Antonio Brown Suspended Three Games Without Pay After Lying About Being Vaccinated

On Thursday the NFL announced that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been suspended three games for violating the NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocols.

Brown was one of three players who misrepresented their vaccination statuses. Apparently, the wide receiver had obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card over the summer.

He then took the card with him to training camp. It was brought to the coaches attention.

He was suspended without pay and won’t be eligible to come back until December 26.

Buccaneers backup safety Mike Edwards and free-agent wide receiver John Franklin III we’re also suspended.

All three players are now vaccinated and have admitted to their wrongdoings.
