Bad news, Raiders fans ... Justin Gatlin says he suffered a similar cryotherapy injury as star receiver Antonio Brown -- and the U.S. sprinter says it took him MONTHS to get healthy.
In fact, when Gatlin joined "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) on Wednesday, he said of the frostbite, "It was a disaster. I had, like, boils and blisters all over my ankles."
10 practices into training camp and Antonio Brown has already gone “radio silent” with the Raiders. They have zero clue where he is or what the progress of the foot injury is.
Maybe this is just creating headline drama for Hard Knocks....Brown is good at staying in the press. If he cant practice...might as well turn it into a media soap opera.
You would have to be really mentally ****ed up to sever communication about you current foot issues....with the team that just signed you. [Reply]
no antonio or gabe jackson in Week 2....we are going to destroy that team
Thing is, u cant start the healing process until the skin regenerates which can take a while and that new skin isnt build for that type of work until its done healing. Couldnt happen to a better team tho lol

Gruden is already pissed. Can't even imagine what's going to happen when Brown starts bitching. [Reply]
