Antonio Brown was upset with one of the reporters who covers the Pittsburgh Steelers and called him out over Twitter Monday.
Brown returned to action on Saturday after missing time with a quad injury. Two days later, a report from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Ed Bouchette made it seem like Brown may have suffered a setback. Bouchette reported that Brown had “limped off practice” on Monday.

Brown did not like that report from Bouchette and let him know it.
“Bro seriously have some respect you making s— up clown,” Brown said in response to Bouchette’s tweet (profanity edited).
Did Brown have a good reason for being upset? Another Steelers reporter said Brown was not limping.
Antonio Brown on Monday participated in individual drills but not team work. He’s walking and dancing from the sideline without any noticeable pain or limping. Steelers aren’t going to push his leg injury. “It’s August,” coach Mike Tomlin said.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said in a tweet that Brown did limp off the field.
Even though Steelers’ Antonio Brown limped off practice field today, he did not aggravate his quad injury and he is “fine”, according to a source familiar with his condition. Nothing significant.

Maybe we need video to determine things once and for all. The good news is that Brown did not re-aggravate the injury.
