Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown and two other players have been suspended three games without pay by the league for misrepresenting their vaccination statuses.
Brown's Tampa Bay teammate, safety Mike Edwards, and free agent John Franklin III, a former Buccaneers receiver, were also suspended three games apiece. Franklin can only be forced to serve that suspension if a team signs him.
All three suspensions are effective immediately and the players have waived their right to appeal.
