The Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned to practice Wednesday ahead of their divisional matchup with the Saints this Sunday. In attendance but not practicing is wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Not a good sign for Antonio Brown as he showed up at practice with a crutch. He missed last week's game with an ankle sprain. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/rTfBXSQ4M8

Not exactly encouraging news seeing Brown using a crutch. The flip side of that is there is no boot or wrap on his ankle.

Brown missed last week’s game against the Chicago Bears with this ankle injury. As of Wednesday morning it doesn’t look like he’s quite ready to return. We will keep you updated on Brown’s status as we learn more from the team.
UPDATE 1:20pm EST
Bucs coach Bruce Arians says Antonio Brown is dealing with an ankle sprain “but it’s around his heel” and indicated there’s no way to know how long he will be out.

#Bucs HC Bruce Arians said WR Antonio Brown is dealing with a sprain around his heel and that he's been using a crutch. Arians is unsure when he'll get back on the field. "Could be after the bye (Week 10) or could be a long time. It's wait and see."
