Returns on limited basis Brown (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Impact Though Brown was held out of practice entirely during the first week of Super Bowl LV prep, head coach Bruce Arians said Monday that the wide receiver was "getting close" to moving past the knee injury that sidelined him in the NFC Championship Game. Brown's ability to get on the field Wednesday is a sign he's trending in the right direction, but he has two more practices to navigate before the Bucs decide whether to give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Limited practice on tap Brown (knee) is expected to be limited at practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Brown didn't practice in any capacity last week, so any activity at Wednesday's session would be encouraging with regard to his status for Sunday's Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs. How Brown's knee responds to practice over the next few days should dictate whether the wideout heads into the weekend with or without an injury designation.

Trending in right direction Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Brown (knee) is "getting close" and has been able to get some work in on the side.
Impact Brown didn't practice at all last week and was estimated as 'doubtful' on Friday's injury report, but he appears to have made some progress over the weekend. Arians mentioned the Bucs will "see how sore he is" when asked about Brown's chances of returning in time to face the Chiefs on Sunday. A return to practice this week could be mandatory in order for Brown to suit up for the Super Bowl.

Absent again Brown (knee) missed another practice Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The Friday injury report lists Brown as 'doubtful,' but that's merely the estimate of what his status would be if the Bucs had a game this Sunday. The week off before the Super Bowl gives Brown some extra time to recover from his knee injury, as he's trying to get back on the field after missing the NFC Championship Game.

Non-participant in practice Brown (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Impact As expected, Brown wouldn't have practiced if the Bucs had held a session. He's expected to remain a spectator in practices Thursday and Friday, but the Buccaneers are hoping the wide receiver will be healthy enough to play Feb. 7 in Super Bowl LV versus the Chiefs. If he's unable to go, Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson would be in line for additional targets behind starters Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (elbow).

Unlikely to practice this week Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Brown (knee) to practice this week, NFL.com reports.
Impact The Bucs still plan on Brown returning for the Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs on Feb. 7 after he missed the NFC Championship Game victory over the Packers. He's expected to get back on the practice field next week, and if all goes well, Brown would unseat Scotty Miller as the team's No. 3 wideout in the Super Bowl.
