WR Antonio Brown, FA (5 Viewers)

[Faust]

Rotoworld take:

A source with knowledge of the situation tells NBC's Chris Simms that Antonio Brown is dealing with frostbitten feet after "entering a cryotherapy machine without the proper footwear."

Well that's a new one. Brown had previously been described as dealing with "blisters." Speaking Tuesday, coach Jon Gruden would only say the team was "gathering information." It's a ridiculous injury but hardly a laughing matter. Brown's status for the remainder of camp should be considered up in the air.

Not getting his Raider career off on the right foot...

 

[GroveDiesel]

Quite a feat.

 

[GroveDiesel]

He's going to need to toe the line going forward.

 

[battlestar]

I thought he would have had a leg up by now.

 

[Raptors409]

:rofl:

 

[grateful zed]

he better tread lightly at the next team meeting.

 

[JetMaxx]

Steelers own the Raiders once again, how many times will they accomplish the same feet?

 

[Raptors409]

I own this guy and he’s supposed to be a part of my championship team.

Can you fix feet in 30 days?

JFC...As my grandmother would have said, "More money than sense."

That would be true if he was only working at McDonald's.

The autumn wind is a Raider(s foot).

I bet heel be blistering fast...

Raiders' Antonio Brown dealing with frostbitten feet

 

[Faust]

The San Diego Union Tribune's David Chao expects Antonio Brown (foot) to be ready "well before the regular season."

Brown is dealing with some form of frost burn from a cryotherapy mishap. He can run but has trouble getting in and out of his cuts. The injury is going to limit his training camp reps with Derek Carr, but Brown shouldn't be in danger of missing Week 1.

B/R reporting he could be out awhile now. I like Chao a bit more than B/R but this is all sorts of whacky. You’d have to imagine the Steelers FO is having quite the giggle right now.

 

[grateful zed]

moleskin is your friend

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

SalPal says he was found with "extreme frostbite".  What a weird story.

I think Bills fans are enjoying a bit of Schadenfreude right now as well. I mean, the odds of a guy rejecting Buffalo to go to Oakland/Vegas and then ending up with extreme frostbite can't be all that high.

As is often the case when you hear two different stories about the same thing, the truth lies in the middle. Indeed, the macerated moist skin is the main issue that causes the superinfection with pseudomonas, but the cryotherapy mishap didn’t help the situation.

Can't you fashion him some special shoes?

 

[Twenty-Four Eighty-Four]

He's trying to get back to Pittsburgh.

Certainly! But shoes aren’t gonna fix what’s going on there. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This is working out about as well for the Raiders as I thought it would.

So happy I got Tyrell Williams for $6 in a dynasty auction. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Man - now AB is MIA - raiders have no idea where he is? 

According to Chase Williams of WPXI Pittsburgh, Antonio Brown (foot) has gone "radio silent."

Williams reports that the Raiders have "no clue" where Brown is or the status of his injured foot. If true, it's a bizarre start to Brown's Oakland tenure and eerily reminiscent of the way he froze out (no pun intended) the Steelers by going AWOL late last season. AB is undoubtedly one of the greatest receivers in NFL history but for fantasy purposes, the red flags are beginning to pile up.

So, this entire Jon Gruden to the Raiders thing is going to go up in flames, isn't it?

Wait until you see this months cover of ESPN The Magazine with AB in a wedding dress...

 

[Ilov80s]

So, this entire Jon Gruden to the Raiders thing is going to go up in flames, isn't it?

That was always the most likely situation and I can’t think of anything positive that’s happened yet. And I’m a Lions fan so I’m pretty experienced at recognizing the signs of disaster. 

 

[Silver & Black]

Good grief

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

 Someone remind me, who was the cover athlete on madden last year? 

 

[mozzy84]

LOL good point.  I remember when they ended Peyton Hillis career.  AB is going to get the curse back on track this year

 

[dickey moe]

No worries. He'll toe the line.

 

[Faust]

Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Antonio Brown (foot) is expected to rejoin the Raiders "in the near future."

Brown has missed 10 of the Raiders' 11 practices this summer while battling an injury he suffered as a result of not wearing proper footwear to a cryotherapy session. Gehlken refuted a report from Pittsburgh television anchor Chase Williams, who claimed that the former Steelers wide receiver had gone "radio silent" and the Raiders were unsure of his whereabouts. Along with several other starters, Brown won't be in uniform for Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams.
