Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown has lost his second grievance hearing with the NFL about wearing his old helmet, but he is moving forward with a deal for an approved helmet in the near future, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.
Brown lost an earlier grievance against the NFL that sought an exception to wear his Schutt Air Advantage, a helmet he has worn throughout his career. Brown then filed a second grievance Monday night, asking for a one-year grace period before needing to change helmets.
The second hearing, which took place Friday, was heard by the same independent arbitrator that presided over the first hearing.
