The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially activated Antonio Brown from the suspended list on Tuesday, the team announced.

Coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday that Brown will have a role in Sunday night's game against the New Orleans Saints.

"He'll have his role -- it could be 10 plays, it could be 35 plays. I wouldn't anticipate 60 plays, for sure, but we'll just see how it goes," he said.

The Buccaneers signed Brown last week to a one-year deal for a base salary of $750,000 with incentives that could push the value to $2.5 million, sources told ESPN

Brown concluded an eight-game suspension for multiple violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy and was only permitted to work out with the Buccaneers' strength and conditioning staff and attend meetings. He was not allowed to practice with the team.

"We'll see how much we can get him taught, Arians said. "And the first practice will be a walkthrough, because we've got a short week coming off Monday night - so we basically miss a practice this week on Wednesday because of the short week, so it'll be a walkthrough practice, and basically all learning.

Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowler, has 11,263 receiving yards and 75 touchdown receptions in his 10-year career.
