Oakland Raiders star receiver Antonio Brown’s mysterious foot injury is the result of extreme frostbite caused by a cryotherapy machine, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Brown was not wearing appropriate footwear when he entered the cryotherapy chamber last month in France and burned his feet, leaving them frostbitten, according to the source.
Raiders coach Jon Gruden told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio on Wednesday that Brown was “still collecting information” on the injury, and that the team would know more in the next few days.
The Raiders apparently have no idea when Brown could return.
The Raiders have no timetable on Antonio Brown after he was found with extreme frostbite on his feet from cryotherapy. Wow. SalPal reporting just now on SportsCenter.
