Antonio Brown’s absence related to helmet grievance

Raiders WR Antonio Brown’s recent absence from training camp stems more from his recently-filed helmet grievance against the NFL, rather than his blistered foot, per Adam Schefter.

A previous report from Chase Williams of WPXI in Pittsburgh said the Raiders stated Brown had gone “radio silent” and they had “no clue” of his whereabouts.
