Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown will see a foot specialist, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter

Brown has missed most of Oakland's training camp as he battles "sore feet," per ESPN. Brown missed all of Raiders' practice on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

No timetable has been set for Brown's return to the field

"I think we're all disappointed," Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said on Saturday. "We think he's disappointed. We'd like to get the party started. We'd like to get him out here. He's a big part of the team."

What he needs to see is a Foot in Mouth Specialist.

 

I read earlier today that after he saw the specialist he is listed as day-to-day so it is not expected to be serious but the circus is surely in town, and likely for the whole summer if not year.

Manufactured drama for the Hard Knocks crew? I don’t doubt it.

I wonder if people here would be all up Beane's backside if he'd brought AB in and THIS happened.

 

I would have been on Beane’s case if he brought him in, regardless. After the stunt he pulled with his team last season, he’s the LAST player I’d want.

Very telling verbiage, in my opinion.

 

AB is Aunt Pussyfoot (credit: @mrags) reincarnated.

 

Good for the Steelers.

John Brown had a 1,000 yard season ruined when the Ravens switched to Jackson.  As far as I can tell, he kept his mouth shut & went to work every day.  Not that his skillset can touch Antonio's, but looking at the whole picture, we got the right Brown.

No way, they would ask for his job, no doubt.

Are you kidding? Antonio had 1500 yards and 15TD. John struggles to get to 1,000 and has done so only once. Also has been at the bottom of the league for catch rate.

I understand that John Brown has some potential health issues. but if he stays healthy he is a viable threat. Allen likes a deep ball so it should be a good connection. There will be some highlight plays!
