Antonio Brown reportedly returns to practice Monday
The daily saga of Antonio Brown brought good news for the Oakland Raiders on Monday, at least.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Brown was at Monday’s practice after skipping Sunday’s over his ongoing spat with the NFL over his helmet.
Raiders’ WR Antonio Brown was at practice today, per source.

The good news is that Brown’s foot issues seem to largely be behind him. The bad news is that we still don’t really know how he’s going to handle the helmet situation moving forward and whether the Raiders can trust him to be at practice.
For now, though, it seems that he’s responded to public admonishment from GM Mike Mayock, who essentially challenged him to commit after he skipped practice Sunday. For now, he’s on board, but this story seems to change by the day, so further news about Brown’s helmet search could change the entire situation.
