If John Franklin III signs with an NFL team, he will be subject to a three-game ban as well.

Sean Burstyn, Brown's agent, disagreed with the findings.

A former personal chef for Brown had claimed that the seven-time Pro Bowler bought a fake vaccine card.

The text conversation between Steven and Cydney was shared by Stroud. "Ab" would be willing to pay $500 for a vaccine card if he could get one that said he received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

He said Brown showed him fake vaccination cards for himself and Moreau, and that he purchased them.

Burstyn denied the allegation.

Antonio Brown got the vaccine to support everyone who should get it, because he appreciated the severity of the epidemic. He was out of a game as he was hit by coronaviruses. He is healthy and ready to win another Super Bowl.

If the NFL's guidelines advised him to do so, Brown would get the booster shot, according to Burstyn.

The Buccaneers said that all vaccinations were reviewed by their personnel and there were no anomalies.

This isn't the first case of an athlete from a major American league using a fake vaccination card.

Kane was suspended for 21 games by the NHL after Front Office Sports' A.J. Perez said he submitted a fake card.

Brown couldn't play in the Rams game because he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He was activated on September 30.

Brown's ankle injury is expected to keep him out until at least Week 15.
