Antonio Brown, dos Raiders, lida com pés congelados

The mystery surroundingAntonio Brown‘s foot is slowly starting come to light.

Brown, who has been out ofOakland Raiderspractice, didn’t wear proper footwear in a cryogenic therapy chamber, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed.

Chris Simms on Pro Football Talk first noted Brown’s footwear fiasco.

Joining NFL Network’sInsideTraining CampLive, Rapoport said that theRaidersare still working through several questions withBrowns‘ situation.

“From what I was told,Antonio Brownis still day to day,” Rapoport said. “(He) was away from the facility yesterday seeing a specialist. He’s done this before. Did it a couple days ago. Remember, this all goes back to his foot, which he so disgustingly posted on Instagram, a couple weeks ago. Something that — those of us who watchedHard Knocks — is going to be a big storyline. When isAntonio Browngoing to be back? When are his feet going to be better?

“As far as the backstory — what led to this — what I was told, talking to a coupleRaiderspeople, basically the story that they are saying is thatAntonio Brownused a cryogenic chamber without proper footwear and that is why his feet ended up the way they did. Certainly, some other questions medically, for his feet, how they ended up looking like that, how he trained through feet which are so badly injured he really can’t continue to train. A lot of questions there. But at the very least, that is the story they are saying. Still day-to-day. Unclear whenAntonio Brownis going get back out at practice.”

TheRaidersacquired Brown via trade with thePittsburgh Steelersand gave him a sparkling new contract.

At the very least, the foot issue is concerning from a rapport perspective with quarterbackDerek Carr. At worst, it could affect the star receiver’s regular season.

Brown still has more than a month to get his feet in order before theRaidersopen the regular season against theDenver BroncosonMonday Night Football.

The lesson here, friends, isalwayswear recommended precautionary wear — I’m looking at you, Frat Bro, about to enter a tanning bed without eye wear.
