Oakland Raiders receiver Antonio Brown’s feet looked like they were in bad shape. He posted a photo on his Instagram story on Wednesday which showed a pair of blistered feet.
Brown has so far missed a significant portion of the Raiders’ practices in training camp after he started the year on the non-football-injury list with these feet problems. While the images are gruesome, Brown’s feet should heal relatively quickly, according to ESPN. He saw a foot specialist on Saturday, and could return to practice in the coming week, per ESPN.
Brown joined the Raiders in a trade this offseason, and is a big part of their effort to revamp their offense, which includes newcomers like receiver Tyrell Williams and running back Josh Jacobs.
WARNING: As mentioned, the photos below are gruesome.
Raiders coach Jon Gruden addressed Brown’s extended absence on Friday, via ESPN.
“I think we’re all disappointed. 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. But for the time being we’re going to continue to work hard and we’re seeing the development of some other receivers we’re excited about.”
Brown has not spoken with the media since the start of training camp, though he certainly made a statement by arriving by air balloon. His feet may slow the star’s hype on the field — but he always seems to find ways to make sure that business is booming off the field.
