Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians: Antonio Brown 'getting close'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown did not play in the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers. However, it seems like he's on track to play in Super Bowl LV. 

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Brown "looks a little bit better" and is "getting close," according to team reporter Scott Smith. 

Brown missed the NFC Championship Game after suffering a knee injury during the divisional round against the New Orleans Saints.

Brown has become one of Tom Brady's top targets this season alongside Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski. The 32-year-old caught 45 passes for 483 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. 

He has three catches for 59 yards and a touchdown so far this postseason.
