Antonio Brown and two other NFL players suspended for misrepresenting COVID-19 vaccine status - CBS News

The NFL has suspended three players without pay for misrepresenting their vaccine status, the league announced Thursday.

The suspension comes after players were accused of having "misrepresented their vaccination status" under the league's COVID-19 protocols, sparking a review by the league and the player's association, the league said in a statement. .

"That review supported those allegations and found that the three players violated the protocols," the league said.

"The health and safety of players and personnel is our top priority," the league and the players association said in a joint statement.

The Buccaneers said the team appreciates the league's "timely handling of this matter" and that it recognizes "the importance of the health and safety protocols that have been established."
