The Bucs are heading into week three of the NFL undefeated, but this Sunday when they take on another undefeated team, the LA Rams, the field may look a little different, as three players are on the COVID list.
Wide Receiver Antonio Brown is the latest to be added to the COVID list, in addition to Inside Linebacker/Special Teams Captain Kevin Minter and practice squad WR Travis Jonsen.
There’s still a chance Brown and Minter could play on Sunday, provided they have two negative COVID tests, 24 hours apart, but the team is preparing a backup plan just in case.
Coach Bruce Arians told ESPN that they’ve “got some young guys ready to roll.”
Kickoff for this Sunday is 4:25 p.m. ET.
