Antonio Brown reportedly seeing foot specialist
Antonio Brown’s foot issues are reportedly not getting better.
According to multiple reports, Brown saw a foot specialist Saturday in light of the significant blisters he has been experiencing that have landed him on the non-football injury list. Brown’s injury is not considered a long-term issue, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

It’s not the ideal start to Brown’s Raider tenure. Coach Jon Gruden vented his frustration at the injury holding Brown back, and clearly, there’s annoyance that it’s not improving much if he’s seeing a specialist. His status is unclear in the short term, but needless to say, Oakland will want him on the field as soon as possible in order to develop a rapport with quarterback Derek Carr and the rest of the offense.
