Raiders Rumors: Antonio Brown Helmet Grievance Expected to Be Resolved Next Week

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown's grievance against the NFL regarding his attempted use of a Schutt AiR Advantage helmet will reportedly be resolved this week.

A source reported the news to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who also posited that "it's hard to imagine Brown prevailing."

Brown's helmet was discontinued in 2011, per Florio, and the league could not re-certify it for 2019 because it is over 10 years old.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 10th-year wideout has threatened to walk away from the game if he's not allowed to use the helmet.
