The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing for their Monday night matchup with the New York Giants. Thursday before practice, wide receiver Antonio Brown was working with the “JUGS” machine. As Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports, Brown had his helmet on while working out. This indicates he’s at least getting closer to rejoining the team practicing.

Kevin ODonnell from Fox 13 reports Brown ran some routes for Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady before heading inside. ODonnell also stated that while Brown appears to be closer his ankle doesn’t look like it’s “100” quite yet.
Looks like Bucs WR Antonio Brown is getting closer to a return. Brady threw some routes to him for about 5-minutes before AB headed inside. Looks like the ankle isn’t 💯 yet. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/dTzBWfzmMB

Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea was spotted at practice Thursday although was not suited up to practice. Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times points out that Vea looked to be wearing a knee brace rather than the expected boot.
Pretty sure that’s not a boot on Vita’s left leg. More like a knee brace pulled down. At any rate, he’s not suited up for #Bucs practice. pic.twitter.com/y3ejoySPyI

Buccaneers defensive back Carlton Davis was not seen at practice Thursday. As Greg Auman reports, Davis may have came out for the time allotted for the media. Auman points out that if Davis did in fact not practice today it’s “unlikely” he’ll play on Monday night.
Did not see Carlton Davis at Bucs practice today. Could always come out after the window open to media, but if he isn’t practicing today, makes any Monday return unlikely.
