Antonio Brown, the longtime superstar receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is not practicing with his new team, the Oakland Raiders, because of a foot injury. The team hasn’t revealed the injury or given a timetable for his return, according to ESPN.

Last week, he posted a picture of his feet on Instagram. His skin was badly blistered and peeling, though Brown did have a big smile.

How did it happen?

Officially we don’t know. But reports, especially on NFL.com, say that Brown entered a cryogenic therapy chamber without proper footwear and got frostbite.
