Earlier, Oakland Raiders player Antonio Brown picked up a foot injury due to unknown reasons. However, the true reason has now been revealed, and it is embarrassing to say the least.

The Oakland Raiders and NFL head coach Jon Gruden opted to remain mum on the matter. Also, Brown was absent for the last several practices and reports claimed that he was seeing a foot specialist. The 31-year old even shared a video on Instagram to show off the state of his feet.

Now, NFL analyst and former player Chris Simms believes he knows what?s wrong with Brown?s feet. Simms said:

?On Monday, PFT Live co-host Chris Simms s?id that the photos posted by Brown don?t reveal blisters but the peeling of l?yers of skins from the bottom of his feet. Simms s?id that he once h?d ? condition like that, thanks to what he called ?n ?unidentified Buc fungus? in T?mp?.”

“After Monday’s show, Simms got word from someone with knowledge of the situation that Brown burned his feet by entering ? cryotherapy m?chine without the proper footwear, and his feet were frostbitten.?

Poor old Antonio Brown would certainly need to take some time off to get his feet back into shape. So far, the gravity of the situation is unknown unless the Raiders or Brown make an announcement. The te?m rem?ins very quiet on the m?tter ?nd Gruden refuses to give ?ny subst?ntive comment. If it w?s something to be worried ?bout, it?s likely th?t the te?m would?ve ?ddressed it by now. Dr. D?vid J. Ch?o doesn?t? seem to think th?t Brown?s feet ?re too much c?use for concern.

?Fortun?tely, this does not ?ppe?r to be deep ?nd involves mostly the ?de?d? skin ?re?s on the sole of his feet,? s?id Ch?o. ?Therefore, it should be e?sily tre?t?ble ?nd his return to pl?y should occur well before me?ningful g?mes ?re pl?yed.?

Ch?o wrote this piece before Simms g?ve his opinion so it?s uncle?r if frostbite to the feet could le?d to ? long ?bsence. It just seems b?ffling th?t Brown would be this c?reless considering he?s notorious for t?king c?re of his body.

Brown isn?t ?t c?mp currently while he tries to figure out how to fix his feet. It?s very unlikely th?t he?ll pl?y in S?turd?y?s prese?son g?me ?g?inst the Los Angeles R?ms. Brown missing ?nytime during the regul?r se?son would be ? m?ssive blow.

The R?iders ?re hoping th?t he?ll be ? foc?l point of the offense. Hopefully, the severity of the situ?tion is minim?l ?nd Brown is b?ck within the next couple of weeks.
