Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown will not join the team this Sunday in Los Angeles. Brown tested positive on Wednesday last week and needed two negative tests 24 hours apart to be cleared. He will remain on the Covid-19 list.

Tampa has plenty of wide receivers to go around, so the team should be in good hands heading into Sunday’s game.

Brown played in the first two games of the season, recording five receptions, 121 yards, and a touchdown in Week 1’s win over the Dallas Cowboys and one reception for 17 yards against the Falcons in Week 2.

Without Brown in the lineup, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski will continue to do what they do and that’s dominate. The Rams are going to focus on them which will open up the game for Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson.

Miller and Johnson are no strangers to stepping up and making plays when they need to. Scotty Miller has 46 receptions for 701 yards and four touchdowns in his career and Tyler Johnson has 13 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns in his career.

Antonio Brown is a big part of the Buccaneer offense but with so many other options, they will be just fine.
