Antonio Brown Avoids Commenting on NFL Investigation Into Sexual Assault Allegations

Antonio Brown addressed the media on Thursday for the first time since signing with the Patriots, avoiding commenting on the NFL's investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct, assault and rape made against the four-time All-Pro wide receiver or his availability to play during the inquiry.

Reporters were given four questions to ask Brown and the exchange lasted just one minute. When asked about his standing with the league, Brown expressed his gratitude for Bill Belichick and Tom Brady before adding that he was focused on football.

When asked again if he had heard from the league about his availability for Week 3, when the team will host the Jets, Brown again reiterated that his focus was on the field.
