Jaydon Mickens - Dealing with abdominal issue Mickens didn't practice Wednesday due to an abdominal injury, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mickens wasn't expected to practice Wednesday after picking up a hip injury during Sunday's win over the Falcons, but he ended up being listed on the injury report with an abdominal issue. The 27-year-old likely will need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend against the Rams.

Antonio Brown - Tests positive for COVID-19 The Buccaneers placed Brown on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The Buccaneers were reported to be one of the NFL teams with a 100-percent vaccination rate, so if Brown is indeed vaccinated, he'll be able to return to the team if he reports two negative tests 24 hours apart. By all accounts, though, it'll be difficult for Brown to clear the necessary hurdles to be cleared for game action Sunday, when the Bucs take on the Rams in Los Angeles at 4:25 p.m. ET. If Brown is inactive Week 3, Scotty Miller would be the biggest beneficiary, with Tyler Johnson next in line on the wide receiver depth chart and rookie fourth-rounder Jaelon Darden on hand to make his pro debut, if need be.

Jaydon Mickens - Doesn't practice Wednesday Coach Bruce Arians said that Mickens (hip) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Mickens was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Falcons after picking up a hip injury. The 27-year-old has been Tampa Bay's primary return man so far this season. Giovani Bernard and Scotty Miller each returned kicks against Atlanta after Mickens left the contest, so expect them to share the return duties in Week 3 if he is unable to suit up.

Impact The extent of the injury is unknown, but it's possible that Arians is just giving Pierre-Paul another day off for rest like he did last week. The 32-year-old played 59 snaps in the Week 2 win over the Falcons and registered three tackles and one pass deflection.

Antonio Brown - Lands on COVID list Brown was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, and he'll now need two negative tests 24 hours apart to be eligible for Sunday's game at Los Angeles, Rick Stroud of the Ta...
Impact Greg Auman of The Athletic suggests Brown is likely to miss Sunday's highly anticipated matchup between the Buccaneers and Rams. It's not official yet, but the mid-week timing does present a challenge, as Brown was added to the reserve/COVID-19 list with about 100 hours to go before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Brown can't play, Scotty Miller likely will fill in as the No. 3 receiver, with WR Tyler Johnson and TEs O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate also candidates to pick up some extra snaps off the bench. Brown caught five of seven targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in the season-opening win over Dallas, but in Week 2 he managed just one reception for 17 yards on three targets (and 44 percent snap share) against the Falcons.
