Brown and Edwards, along with free agent John Franklin III, were suspended for three games for violating the league’s health and safety protocols. Brown was accused in a Tampa Bay Times report last month of acquiring a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid the NFL’s health and safety protocols.
Prior to the season start, the Bucs announced that they were the second NFL team to become fully vaccinated, including players and coaching staff.

“We’re 100% vaccinated, our entire organization, all the players, all the coaches, everybody,” head coach Bruce Arians said at the time. “Each player will now enjoy the benefits of being able to work out and eat together. They won’t have to test daily, won’t have to wear masks around the facility, and won’t have to quarantine following a close contact with someone who tests positive.”

Arians addressed the media on Friday, saying that the team would “address their future” once their suspension is over.
“I will not address those guys for the next three weeks,” he said. “They’ll just be working out. And then we’ll address their future at that time. Other than that, there is really nothing to say. And I know everybody wants the other story, but we’re playing the Falcons. I don’t give a s— about [the vaccination controversy].”
