Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown gave fans a scare yesterday evening when he limped off the practice field following individual drills and did not later participate in scrimmage drills during the penultimate training camp practice. Or at least that is how it was initially reported, and Brown didn’t appreciate it.
It was Pittsburgh Post-Gazette veteran journalist Ed Bouchette who Tweeted that Brown “limps off [the] practice” field. Being the highly respected reporter that he is, the report circulated and it quickly became accepted that the All-Pro did indeed limp off the field, presumably in such a way that indicated it was an injury that ended his day.
