Buccaneers' Antonio Brown (ankle) ruled out for Week 12, hopeful for a return in Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) has been ruled out of Week 12's game against the Indianapolis Colts but has a chance to return for Week 13's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

What It Means:

Brown will remain sidelined for Week 12's game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Bruce Arians. However, the team is hopeful that Brown can return to action in Week 13. Arians told reporters earlier this week that Brown is "Moving around a lot better. He's able to put some more weight on the heel and bounce around on it some. We've got our fingers crossed.".

In 5 games played so far this season, Brown has recorded 29 receptions on 42 targets for 418 yards and 4 touchdowns.
