Bills vs Buccaneers: Antonio Brown among players suspended for violating COVID-19 protocols

The Buffalo Bills are down their All-Pro cornerback, Tre’Davious White. Next week when the Bills play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there is one wide receiver they won’t have to worry about. Antonio Brown has been suspended for three games for violating the protocols developed by the NFL Players’ Association and the league. His teammate, safety Mike Edwards, was also suspended.

According to the league, Brown and Edwards misrepresented their vaccination status. A few weeks ago, Brown was accused of using a fake COVID-19 vaccination card by his disgruntled former chef.

The NFL and NFLPA released a full statement on the subject:

Here’s the full release on the three-game suspensions of #Bucs WR Antonio Brown and S Mike Edwards and free agent John Franklin III, who have waived their rights to appeal and will begin serving their suspensions immediately.
