A good deal of the leadup to Raiders training camp surrounded All Pro receiver Antonio Brown. He even took a hot air balloon ride the morning of report day to ring in the big day. Then all the fanfare fell like a lead balloon when he landed on the non-football injury list to begin camp.
Yeah, he pass his physical and suited up on day two of camp, but he didn’t see the field much. He ran some routes prior to warm-ups and left the field. Then on day three — the first day in pads — he was back to the sideline, making his active designation not worth much.
