Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians says "nothing has been decided" about the future of suspended pair Antonio Brown and Mike Edwards.

The Bucs duo were banned without pay for three games each for violating the NFL's COVID-19 protocols after misrepresenting their vaccination statuses, along with free agent John Franklin III.

Arians had said when Brown joined the franchise in October last year that if he "screws up one time, he's gone" after a dotted off-field history.

However, the Bucs have not made any decisions on his future following his latest misdemeanour.

“It pisses me off,” Arians said, via JoeBucsFan.com.

When speaking at a Friday news conference, Arians added: "Obviously we have two guys suspended. The league did their due diligence and we move on.

"I will not address those guys for the next three weeks. They'll just be working out and we'll address their future at that time. Other than that, there's really nothing to say."

Brown's former personal chef claimed last month that the wide receiver had obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card during the offseason.

When pressed further on Brown and Edwards' futures, Arians said: "Nothing's been decided, no."

Wide receiver Brown had been expected to miss Tampa Bay's next two games due to an ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 7. Brown has 29 receptions for 418 yards and four touchdowns in five games this NFL season.
