Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden said he is counting on having embattled wide receiver Antonio Brown in the lineup for the season opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday night.
"That's the plan," Gruden told reporters during a short statement at Friday's practice.
"Antonio is back today," Gruden said. "We're really excited about that. Ready to move on. He's had a lot of, obviously, time to think about things. We're happy to have him back and I know Raider Nation is excited about that, too."
Earlier Friday, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson that Brown issued "an emotional apology" during a team meeting on Friday morning.
