The NFL has suspended Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown and two other players for three games Thursday for violating the league's COVID-19 protocols.
The players, including Bucs defensive back Mike Edwards, were accused of misrepresenting their vaccine status.
Brown joined the Bucs midway through last season after serving an eight-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
All three waived their right of appeal and the suspensions are effective immediately.
Free agent John Franklin III, if signed by a team, is also ineligible to play in the next three games.
The Bucs issued a statement that said, in part, that they "will continue to implement all league COVID-19 protocols."
