Arians urges NFL look at vaccination status of more teams

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians would like to see the NFL expand an investigation of the COVID-19 vaccination status of two players on his team to include other rosters around the league.

Responding publicly for the first time to the league suspending wide receiver Antonio Brown and safety Mike Edwards for three games for misrepresenting their status with fake vaccination cards, Arians said Friday those may not be the only cases of their kind in the league.

"The league did their due diligence and we move on," Arians said after practice. "I will not address these guys for the next three weeks. They'll just be working out, and we'll address their future

FRoM PAge 6 at that time. Other than that, there's really nothing to say."

A third player, former Bucs receiver John Franklin III, also was suspended for three games. He was cut during training camp and currently is a free agent.
