Report: Antonio Brown not expected to return this season in NFL

Antonio Brown is still reportedly scheduled to meet with the NFL on Thursday, but don’t expect that meeting to change much between the two parties. Brown isn’t expected to play again this season, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.

Brown has not been suspended or placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, but is currently being investigated for several claims of sexual assault made against him in a civil lawsuit filed in Florida. The New England Patriots released him on Sept. 20, and Brown has been a free agent ever since.

Schefter reported that if a team decided to sign him, Brown would be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list immediately.
