Back after maintenance day
Brown practiced Monday after receiving a maintenance day off Sunday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Not only was the veteran wideout back on the practice field, Jenna Laine of ESPN also reports Brown hauled in a deep pass from Tom Brady and taunted undrafted free agent cornerback Javon Hagan as he sauntered into the end zone. Brown thus far has looked good during his days participating in team drills, but that constitutes fewer instances than some of his position mates due to his briefly delayed start to camp as a result of his offseason knee procedure.

Returns to practice
Brown (knee) is participating in team drills Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was held out of practice Sunday and Monday before progressing to individual drills Tuesday. He's coming back from a minor knee procedure in May, with a quick return to team work suggesting he's made a full recovery. The 33-year-old wideout will team up with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to give quarterback Tom Brady one of the best receiver groups in the league.

Individual work Tuesday
Brown (knee) participated in individual drills during Tuesday's practice, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Brown arrived late for both Sunday's and Monday's sessions, but Knight reports the mercurial receiver, who's still recovering from a May knee procedure, was present from the start of Tuesday's practice. There's no official word on when Brown may be ready to participate fully in team drills, but at present, there's also an absence of any hint he won't be fully healthy come Week 1.

Not practicing Sunday
Brown (knee) was on the field at practice Sunday but didn't participate, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians said in early June the veteran wideout was a couple weeks away from practicing, but he wasn't participating on the first day of training camp. Brown dealt with a knee injury throughout the playoffs and underwent a procedure after last season. There's been no indication he's suffered any sort of setback, so at this point he's expected to be available for the start of the regular season.

Should practice by end of June
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday that Brown (knee) is approximately two weeks from returning to the field for practice, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown officially landed his new deal with Tampa Bay in late May and is apparently making significant progress toward his return to the practice field. Once back in a full capacity, Brown figures to play a key role on offense again after turning in 45 catches for 483 yards and four touchdowns over eight regular-season games last season.

Makes contract official
Brown (knee) signed his one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: The two sides agreed to this contract nearly a month ago, but Brown still needed to pass his physical before signing. The agreement has now been made official, suggesting Brown was able to pass his physical following arthroscopic knee surgery. He's expected to be recovered in 2-3 weeks.

Should be ready for training camp
Brown underwent a knee procedure Tuesday and is facing a 3-to-4-week recovery timeline that should allow him to be ready for the start of the Buccaneers' training camp, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown's procedure was apparently in response to some discomfort with the knee, but the surgery shouldn't have any affect on his availability for the upcoming campaign. Barring a setback of some kind, Brown should finalize a one-year contract with the Buccaneers in the near future once he passes a physical. The veteran is coming off of a campaign with Tampa Bay in which he racked up 45 receptions for 483 yards and four touchdowns over eight regular-season games. He should serve as one of the…read more

Still needs to pass physical
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that Brown was scheduled to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday, and the wideout won't formally re-sign with Tampa Bay until he can pass a physical, Matt Matera of PewterReport.com reports. "Hopefully we'll have a scope on Tuesday, [Brown is] getting his knee cleaned out, and everything will work out fine," Arians said. "It's just a matter of a physical."
Analysis: Brown's knee injury prevented him from playing in the Buccaneers' win over the Packers in the NFC Championship Game, but he was back in action two weeks later for the Super Bowl, finishing the victory with five receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown. Despite Brown's problematic track record off the field in recent years, Arians noted that the receiver was a model citizen during his time in Tampa Bay last season. Arians doesn't seem concerned about Brown eventually putting pen to a paper on a…read more

Stays with Tampa
Brown agreed Wednesday with the Buccaneers on a one-year, $3.08 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown was unsigned for more than a month before deciding to re-up with the Bucs. He'll turn 33 before the season begins and will be coming off a 2020 campaign in which he turned in a 45-483-4 receiving line in eight games. Brown was at his most productive for the Bucs in December, but a quiet postseason combined with the long history of off-field issues likely limited the number of teams that had interest in signing him. He'll again be the No. 3 receiver in Tampa, taking reps behind Mike Evans…read more

Unhappy with Tampa's offer
Brown has discussed re-signing with Tampa Bay, but the two sides remain far apart on money, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: The Bucs otherwise have managed to retain their top free agents, including RB Leonard Fournette and TE Rob Gronkowski. A return to Tampa would keep Brown in one of the best offenses in the league, but it also would keep him on a roster where he's unlikely to rise any higher than the No. 3 receiver spot. Of course, Brown may be looking at limited options, as his legal/off-field history likely means a number of teams won't consider signing him. He caught 45 passes for 483 yards and four TDs in…read more

Gets in end zone during SB LV win
Brown (knee) secured five of six targets for 22 yards and a touchdown during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran midseason pickup was second in receptions to Rob Gronkowski on the night, and his one-yard touchdown grab just before halftime gave the Buccaneers a commanding 21-6 lead. Brown's signing, which was the subject of some skepticism when it unfolded, ultimately paid significant dividends. The 32-year-old finished his eight-game regular season with a 45-483-4 line, and he ended up with two scoring grabs overall in three postseason games. Brown will head into unrestricted free agency in…read more

Suiting up in Super Bowl
Brown (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's Super Bowl LV versus the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: A knee injury sidelined Brown for the NFC Championship Game, but with three weeks to rest up since his last game action in the divisional round at New Orleans he'll be out there for Tom Brady. Brown had one of his worst statistical performances of the season against Kansas City back in Week 12 -- two catches for 11 yards on three targets -- so he'll look to be more involved in a receiving corps led by Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Listed as questionable, should play
Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for the Super Bowl, despite being a full practice participant Thursday and Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It would be unusual for a player to miss a game -- especially this game -- after logging back-to-back full practices at the end of the week. Brown should return to action after missing the NFC Championship Game, though he won't necessarily be at 100 percent strength. The Chiefs and Bucs should release inactive lists around 5:00 p.m. ET, with Brown, TE Cameron Brate (back) and Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (calf) the three names to keep a close eye on.

Returns to full practice
Brown (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Brown progressed to a full session Thursday. Per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site, coach Bruce Arians noted that the wideout "looked good" in practice and that the team will be on the lookout Friday to see if the running Brown did Thursday resulted in any swelling in his knee. If not, Brown has a chance to approach Sunday's Super Bowl against Kansas City minus an injury designation.

Returns on limited basis
Brown (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Though Brown was held out of practice entirely during the first week of Super Bowl LV prep, head coach Bruce Arians said Monday that the wide receiver was "getting close" to moving past the knee injury that sidelined him in the NFC Championship Game. Brown's ability to get on the field Wednesday is a sign he's trending in the right direction, but he has two more practices to navigate before the Bucs decide whether to give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Limited practice on tap
Brown (knee) is expected to be limited at practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown didn't practice in any capacity last week, so any activity at Wednesday's session would be encouraging with regard to his status for Sunday's Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs. How Brown's knee responds to practice over the next few days should dictate whether the wideout heads into the weekend with or without an injury designation.

Trending in right direction
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Brown (knee) is "getting close" and has been able to get some work in on the side.
Analysis: Brown didn't practice at all last week and was estimated as 'doubtful' on Friday's injury report, but he appears to have made some progress over the weekend. Arians mentioned the Bucs will "see how sore he is" when asked about Brown's chances of returning in time to face the Chiefs on Sunday. A return to practice this week could be mandatory in order for Brown to suit up for the Super Bowl.

Absent again
Brown (knee) missed another practice Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: The Friday injury report lists Brown as 'doubtful,' but that's merely the estimate of what his status would be if the Bucs had a game this Sunday. The week off before the Super Bowl gives Brown some extra time to recover from his knee injury, as he's trying to get back on the field after missing the NFC Championship Game.

Not spotted at Friday's practice
Brown (knee) wasn't seen at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It appears to be the third straight day of no practice for the veteran wideout, which coach Bruce Arians indicated was the expectation for this week. A return to the field at some point next week would go a long way toward improving Brown's outlook for the Super Bowl.

Non-participant in practice
Brown (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: As expected, Brown wouldn't have practiced if the Bucs had held a session. He's expected to remain a spectator in practices Thursday and Friday, but the Buccaneers are hoping the wide receiver will be healthy enough to play Feb. 7 in Super Bowl LV versus the Chiefs. If he's unable to go, Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson would be in line for additional targets behind starters Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (elbow).

Unlikely to practice this week
Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Brown (knee) to practice this week, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: The Bucs still plan on Brown returning for the Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs on Feb. 7 after he missed the NFC Championship Game victory over the Packers. He's expected to get back on the practice field next week, and if all goes well, Brown would unseat Scotty Miller as the team's No. 3 wideout in the Super Bowl.

Won't face Packers
Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Green Bay, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians indicated Thursday that the veteran wideout was expected to be a game-time decision, but he hadn't progressed as the team hoped when evaluated Friday morning, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Brown won't travel with the team, and the Buccaneers will need to advance to the Super Bowl for him to have a chance of seeing the field again this season. Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson should see increased opportunities for the Buccaneers against the Packers.

No practice activity Wednesday
The Buccaneers listed Brown (knee) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Head coach Bruce Arians labeled Brown as day-to-day after an MRI revealed no major damage to his knee, but the wideout will likely need to practice in some fashion to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game in Green Bay. The Buccaneers have thus far been unwilling to make a prediction on Brown's status for that game, with Arians relaying to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com on Wednesday that "it's too early to tell" if the receiver will play.

Analysis: Brown injured his knee in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Buccaneers and had an MRI on Monday.

Browns (knee) is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The wideout avoided a serious injury, but he could still face a challenge to be ready in time for the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. Brown played only 40 percent of offensive snaps in a win over New Orleans in the divisional round, catching one of three targets for 10 yards. If Brown isn't available Sunday, the Bucs can install Tyler Johnson and/or Scotty Miller as the No. 3 receiver.

Analysis: Brown appeared to tweak his knee during the second half of Sunday's NFC divisional-round win over the Saints, in which he hauled in one of three targets for 10 yards. The 32-year-old veteran had numerous stints on the sideline during the second half, but he never was officially ruled out for the game, which could bode well for his health.

May be dealing with knee issue
Brown secured one of three targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday. Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports Brown appeared to be dealing with a knee injury in the second half.
Analysis: The veteran speedster's sparse line is largely explained by his physical issues, which appeared to surface just before halftime. Brown was seen talking to Tom Brady walking off the field at halftime on the FOX broadcast about what was presumed to be the injury, and he spent large portions of the second half on the sideline.

Makes impact on two catches
Brown brought in two of three targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night. He also rushed once for 22 yards.
Analysis: With Mike Evans (knee) active and filling his usual No. 1 role, Brown saw a lot less of Tom Brady's attention than in Week 17 against the Falcons. The veteran wideout still made his presence felt, however, recording a 36-yard touchdown grab late in the first quarter to extend the Buccaneers' lead to 9-0 at the time. Despite logging his fewest targets since Week 12, Brown could well be right back to a larger role in next weekend's divisional-round matchup against either the Saints or Rams.

Brown brought in four of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 47-7 win over the Lions on Saturday.
Analysis: While the veteran speedster didn't quite enjoy as prolific an afternoon as fellow wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, he was a part of Tom Brady's record-setting first half with an impressive 12-yard touchdown grab in very tight coverage late in the second quarter.

Analysis: Brown tied Mike Evans for the team lead in targets while setting the pace in receptions on a day when there were only 23 total targets to go around. The veteran multi-time Pro Bowler has delivered only modest production in what has mostly been a short-area role thus far in Tampa Bay, posting a 25-217-0 line on 34 targets through five games.

Season-low numbers in loss
Brown brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also returned one punt for two yards.
Analysis: Brown had given fantasy managers reason for optimism with his ascending numbers over the previous two games, but Sunday brought season-low figures across the board. The speedy veteran was regularly passed over in the passing game in favor of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski despite Tom Brady putting the ball up a robust 41 times. Brown will look to further acclimate to coach Bruce Arians' offense during the upcoming bye week before reemerging for a Week 14 battle against the Vikings.

While that relationship helped Brown lead the Bucs in receptions, targets and yards, teammates Chris Godwin and Mike Evans both scored touchdowns.

Analysis: Brown was exponentially more involved than during his Week 9 debut, pacing the Buccaneers in receptions while checking in second in targets. The veteran speedster and Tom Brady displayed excellent chemistry in their third career game together, lending credence to the notion the pair may just be scratching the surface. Brown will look to build on Sunday's encouraging effort in a Week 11 Monday night showdown against the Rams' tough secondary.

Brown (suspension) had three receptions (five targets) for 31 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Brown made his long-awaited return to pro football after getting himself exiled from the NFL and serving an eight-game suspension upon his reinstatement due to off-the-field issues. The 32-year-old didn't appear to lose a step during the extended layoff, running his signature option routes with crispness.

Goes 'full speed' Wednesday
Brown, who was officially reinstated from his eight-game suspension Tuesday, practiced with the Buccaneers for the first time Wednesday and could play 10-to-35 snaps in his Week 9 debut against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "He was going full speed," coach Bruce Arians said. "Everyone else was walking and he was going full speed, and that's him, anyway. It was good. Guys were helping him. He's got a really good handle on what we're trying to get done formation-ally and everything."
Analysis: The Buccaneers conducted a walk-through session Wednesday at their indoor facility, and Brown apparently wasn't able to hold back his enthusiasm in what was his first practice with a team since September 2019 while he was a member of the Patriots. The extent of the 32-year-old's role in his 2020 debut will partly hinge on the status of Chris Godwin (finger), who is uncertain to play after undergoing surgery last week.

Coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday that he isn't sure how much Brown will play against the Saints, offering that a range of between 10 and 35 snaps is more reasonable than the 60-80 range.

Coach Bruce Arians isn't sure how much Brown (suspension) can expect to be on the field Sunday against the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports. "It could be 10 plays, it could be 35 plays," Arians said Tuesday.
Analysis: Brown has completed his eight-game suspension for violations of the personal conduct policy, but until he's removed from the reserve/suspended list, he won't officially be a part of the Buccaneers' active roster. Still, the move is slated to happen in the near future so Brown can get on the practice field Wednesday.

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that Brown (suspension) "looked fantastic" in his first team workout Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As a new arrival, Brown had to first produce negative COVID-19 tests for five consecutive days to satisfy league protocols, making Wednesday the first day he was able to enter the facility. Pending his reinstatement by the league after Week 8, Brown will be eligible to make his team debut Week 9 against the Saints. Since Brown is still serving the final week of an eight-game suspension, he will be limited to working out on side field for the next few days before joining the main group next…read more

Deal with Bucs in place
Brown (suspension) agreed in principle Friday with the Buccaneers on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: According to Schefter, the exact language of Brown's deal still needs to be finalized, but the 32-year-old is tentatively on track to resume his career in Tampa Bay. Before he can officially join the Bucs' 53-man roster, Brown will need to receive formal reinstatement from the NFL once his suspension lapses after Week 8. If all goes according to plan, Brown will make his 2020 debut Week 9 against the Saints, joining a loaded Buccaneers wideout group that also includes Mike Evans and Chris…read more

Nearing deal with Bucs
The Buccaneers are negotiating a contract with Brown, with Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times relaying that the deal is "99 percent" done.
Analysis: Though Adam Schefter of ESPN previously suggested that Seattle was still in the mix for the wideout's services, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes that "if all goes well -- and (Brown) and the (Buccaneers) expect it to -- he'll sign by the beginning of next week and be ready to play" as soon as Week 9, when he's eligible to be reinstated from his suspension. If that's the case, he would be joining a Tampa Bay wide receiver corps that already rosters top-shelf talents in Mike Evans and Chris…read more

Books visit with Tampa Bay
Brown (suspension) is scheduled to visit with the Buccaneers on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Pending his reinstatement by the NFL, Brown is eligible to return from suspension after Week 8, which has prompted teams to begin checking in with the wideout. The Buccaneers will be the first team to formally meet with Brown since he worked out with the Saints in December 2019, with Wilson noting that both player and team are "highly motivated" to reach an agreement on a deal. Brown's prior connection with Tom Brady from their brief stint together in New England last season likely factored…read more

Draws interest from Seattle
The Seahawks are "positioned to make a push to sign" Brown (suspension) if he is reinstated by the NFL when eligible after Week 8, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The report notes that other teams are also pursuing the wideout, though the possibility remains that the league could still extend Brown's suspension beyond Week 8. If that doesn't happen, however, the talented wideout could return to play in the second half of the current NFL campaign. Should Brown link up with the Seahawks, his team context would be favorable, but for now, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are entrenched as the team's top wideouts.

Could have suspension extended
Brown's eight-game suspension could still be extended if the NFL obtains new evidence pertaining to violations of its personal conduct policy, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown has a Sept. 15 hearing for a civil suit based on a sexual assault accusation. The allegation has been public knowledge since last year, but it wasn't factored into Brown's eight-game suspension. It thus stands to reason that his ban could be extended if the civil suit brings about new information.

Gets eight-game ban
The NFL has suspended Brown eight games for violating the personal conduct policy, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com, Brown's suspension will begin Sept. 5 and run through Week 8 of the regular season or his team's eighth game (assuming he signs with a team). He should be able to participate in training camp if he signs within the next couple weeks.

Not eligible to sign
Ravens coach John Harbaugh believes Brown isn't eligible to sign with an NFL team at the moment, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh was responding to media inquiries after Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he thought Brown would be a good fit in the Baltimore locker room. Brown's history of contentious relationships with teammates might seem to suggest otherwise, but the real issue is an ongoing investigation into a series of off-field incidents from the past year. Brown likely will be suspended once the NFL concludes its investigation.

Brown and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson are interested in playing together, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Garafolo reports other star quarterbacks -- including Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson -- are hoping their teams will sign the veteran wideout. Previous reports suggested the Buccaneers and Ravens weren't likely to sign Brown, but Seattle could be a fit. Garafolo believes the Seahawks aren't likely to sign Brown until the NFL completes its investigation into his series of off-field incidents. A suspension is widely expected, potentially costing him half the season or more. Brown will…read more

Not considered by Ravens
Brown isn't likely to sign with the Ravens, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Anderson says the Ravens haven't had earnest discussions about the possibility of signing the veteran wideout.

Ravens and Seahawks may be interested
Per NFL Network's Michael Silver, the Seahawks and Ravens are reportedly having internal discussions about potentially adding Brown at some point down the road, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: For the time being, however, Brown, who was released by the Patriots last September, is under investigation by the NFL for his off-field conduct and could potentially face league discipline. With that in mind, Silver speculates that Brown may be facing a suspension of "about half a season."

Pleads no contest to charges
After pleading no contest to burglary and battery charges stemming from a January incident in Florida, Brown has been ordered to serve two years of probation and complete 100 hours of community service, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Per ESPN's Cameron Wolfe, Brown has also been instructed to undergo a mandatory psychological evaluation and attend a 13-week anger management program as part of his plea. Brown, who has been out of the NFL since the Patriots released him last September, hopes to return to the league in 2020, but at this time his status remains under review.

Analysis: This begins what is expected to be a rather lengthy legal process. The NFL is expected to review the findings and provide its own discipline should Brown ultimately continue his NFL career.

Not wanted in Tampa
Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians said Brown wouldn't be a fit with the team, ESPN.com's Jenna Laine reports.
Analysis: Tom Brady reportedly had interest in bringing Brown to his next NFL stop, but Arians was quick to shut down the rumors, noting that he knows the wide receiver (from their time together in Pittsburgh) and doesn't think he'd be a good fit in the Bucs' locker room. It isn't even clear that Brown will be allowed to play in the NFL in 2020, due to his recent track record of off-field problems, per Chris Cwik of Yahoo Sports. The 31-year-old wide receiver made one appearance for the Patriots in 2019.

Analysis: Brown and his trainer, Glenn Holt, were both arrested this week stemming from an incident with the driver of a moving truck at Brown's home in Hollywood, Fla. According to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, a lengthy process is expected given the severity of the charges.

Brown will work out for the Saints on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The four-time All-Pro has been a free agent since being released by the Patriots after Week 2 and has suggested -- among other things -- over the past three months that he's moved on from the NFL, but his meeting with the Saints suggests otherwise.

Analysis: Brown dominated the headlines from Week 17 of last season through the first three weeks of the current campaign.

On top of that situation, he's facing allegations of sexual misconduct, for which he'll meet with the NFL on Thursday.
