2. Antonio Brown

The main guy to keep an eye on for the Buccaneers is wide receiver Antonio Brown. He injured his knee in the Divisional Round against the New Orleans Saints and had an MRI on Monday that didn’t reveal any major structural damage. As a result, he was the lone did not practice participant for either team on Wednesday.

Although Brown is the Bucs’ third wide receiver on the depth chart (behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin), he’s better than just about every third receiver out there and makes it extremely tough on defenses to shut down all of the Bucs’ weapons. If he misses the game, it would be a huge blow to Tampa’s offense and one less guy for the Packers to worry about.
