Latest reports reveal that Antonio Brown was asked to leave the field

While everyone is still stunned with Brown leaving midway, what’s even more baffling is why did he leave? However, it looks like we now have an answer. A few hours ago, reliable NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed that the cause for Brown’s exit was a misunderstanding.

Brown during the match felt discomfort in his ankle and hence didn’t want to enter the field. However, the Bucs coaches were of the opposing opinion. “What he told the staff, from what I understand, is that he was not going into the game because, in his mind, he did not feel he was healthy,” Rapoport said.

Reportedly, the Bucs coaches responded in hostility as they asked him to leave if he was not going to play; and the rest, as they say, is history.“The response then from the offensive coaches and from Bruce Arians was, ‘If you are not gonna go into the game when we tell you to go into the game, then you cannot be here.’ At that point, they threw him off the sidelines and then cut him from the team,” reported Rapoport.
