Bruce Arians has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home.

Harold Goodwin will take over head coaching duties for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers until Arians returns. 

Vincent Jackson died from chronic alcohol use and the manner of his February death was "natural," according to the Hillsborough County (Florida) Medical Examiner.

The medical examiner's release comes days after the Concussion Legacy Foundation said Jackson was diagnosed with Stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the progressive brain disease associated with repeated head trauma.

Jackson was found dead Feb. 15 at the Homewood Suites in Brandon, Florida, after his family had reported him missing five days earlier. He was 38.

Leonard Fournette is "likely" to be placed on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury, according to a league source.

That would put Fournette out for the remainder of the regular season, but he's expected to return for the playoffs.

With Fournette sidelined, the Buccaneers are signing Le'Veon Bell, pending a physical.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will sign Le'Veon Bell pending a physical.

The Buccaneers recently lost both Leonard Fournette and Giovanni Bernard to injury.

Bell, 29, a former All-Pro, last played for the Baltimore Ravens, with whom he rushed for 83 yards on 31 carries and two touchdowns and caught one pass on two targets in five games. 

Bruce Arians has detailed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' decision to allow Antonio Brown back despite saying last year that if Brown "screws up one time, he's done."

An NFL investigation found that Brown and Mike Edwards had turned in fake vaccination cards, a violation of NFL rules and a federal crime. Each was suspended three games.

"Well, the history has changed since that statement," Arians said. "A lot of things went on last year that I was very proud of him. And I made a decision that was best for our football team."

The NFL has revealed some of the first Pro Bowl selections as the league heads into the stretch run.

Jonathan Taylor led all players in fan voting and was joined among the early selections by Tom Brady, Travis Kelce, Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp.

The NFL also revealed three members of the Las Vegas Raiders to make the squad -- Maxx Crosby, Denzel Perryman and AJ Cole. The game will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Feb. 6.

Chris Godwin will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL in Sunday's loss by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the New Orleans Saints.

Godwin suffered the knee injury in the second quarter while falling awkwardly after a collision with P.J. Williams.

Godwin finishes the season with 98 receptions for 1,103 yards and five touchdowns.

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9-0 on Sunday night, handing Tom Brady his first shutout since 2006.

It was just the third time Brady has been shut out in his career.

The Saints are now the only team to ever beat Brady in four consecutive regular-season games -- though Brady and the Buccaneers did beat New Orleans in the playoffs last season.

Brady was 26-of-48 passing for 214 yards with one interception, one lost fumble and four sacks. 

Antonio Brown is expected to rejoin the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday as his three-game suspension for violating the NFL's COVID-19 protocols comes to an end.

Brown was found to have produced a fake COVID-19 vaccine card.

Tom Brady passed Drew Brees for the most pass completions in NFL history during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Brady also threw the 700th touchdown pass of his career in the game.

"I can't keep up with him," Bruce Arians said jokingly. "I don't think there will be any records left when he's done."

Heading into Sunday, Brady needed 18 completions to pass Brees (who held the NFL record with 7,142) and add to his list of career milestones. He finished with 31, giving him 7,156 for his career.
