After losing his grievance case against the NFL on Monday, Antonio Brown is working his way back onto the field for the Oakland Raiders.
Brown, 31, recently felt aggrieved by having to conform to updated helmets from the league. Besides his threat to retire due to the new headwear, the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver is also sidelined due to a foot injury. It's rumored that Brown went down with frostbite on his foot by going barefoot in cryotherapy. Regardless, Brown gave an update to the media on his health status after the team's practice on Tuesday.

Brown has been the subject of much talk due to his ugly exit from Steel City and his inability to properly practice with the Raiders yet, despite ostensibly being the No. 1 option in Oakland's offense quarterbacked by Derek Carr.
