Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown's recent post on Instagram should have fans of the team excited. Brown has been sidelined since Week 6 with an ankle injury but teased the sports world about his potential return to the field with just two words.

Judging by the looks of this post, business could indeed be booming once again soon, as Brown himself would say. The star wideout was spotted walking around on the practice field without a boot on his left ankle last week, though he hadn't yet resumed running.

Brown's potential return to action would be well-timed for a Buccaneers offense that too often lacked fireworks, or big plays downfield, in a tough loss to the Washington Football Team coming out of the bye last week. His success, and the team's, are more closely linked than many thought, as the Buccaneers are 5-0 in games played with Brown and just 1-3 in games played without his services, as noted by beat writer Greg Auman on Twitter.

The former Steeler was enjoying an excellent season, as he had hauled in 29 of 42 targets for 418 yards and four touchdowns from quarterback Tom Brady before spraining his left ankle. How much Brown is able to do at this week's practice will determine if the fireworks will come as soon as Monday night against the New York Giants.
