Antonio Brown received good news on Tuesday: his knee injury is not bad enough to guarantee he will miss Sunday’s NFC Championship game.
An MRI on Brown’s knee did not reveal any serious issues, and he’s seen day-to-day ahead of Tampa Bay’s appearance in the conference title game, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Brown played 27 offensive shots in the Buccaneers’ divisional round win over the Saints last Sunday, missing most of the second half with his knee injury. Without him, Tom Brady turned to substitutes Tyler Johnson and Scott Miller to continue moving the ball in a tight game that Tampa Bay ultimately won.
Brown’s late arrival saw a steady increase in production over the last few weeks of the regular season, and he scored a touchdown in the Bucs’ win over Washington. Brown has won four touchdowns during the season, scoring at least one in each of Tampa Bay’s games from Week 15 to Wild Card Weekend. His presence could be a boost for the Buccaneers, who are trying to reach Super Bowl LV and become the first team to play in a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
