Tom Brady might be without a major weapon Sunday in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs.

According to NFL.com, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is currently listed as doubtful for the Super Bowl because of a knee injury. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Brown previously missed the NFC title game against Green Bay.

Should fans of the Bucs be worried about Brown being unlikely to suit up Sunday against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs?

Honestly, I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. The Bucs have weapons all over the field for Tom Brady.

While Brown can play at a high level, I doubt his absence moves the needle very much. After all, he didn’t play in the NFC title game, and Brady and the Bucs still got the job done.

You want as many weapons as possible, but that doesn’t mean Brown missing the game is a death sentence for the Bucs. Not at all.

You can catch the Super Bowl this Sunday at 6:30 EST on CBS! It’s going to be a fun day, even if the Bucs are down one of their best offensive players.
