Four observations from Raiders HBO Hard Knocks episode 3

Antonio Brown’s feet look healthy

With all the news on Antonio Brown‘s helmet grievance, let’s not forget why he hasn’t been out on the field day in and day out. He had been waiting for his feet to heal from the frostbite that he suffered.

Brown traveled with the team to Arizona for the second preseason game. He didn’t play, but did run routes in pregame catching passes form Derek Carr. That’s a clear sign that his feet are inching closer to gettin back to normal.

Brown attended Monday’s walk through and Tuesday’s practice, showing signs of how far along his feet have come. The expectation is that he is going to be a full-go throughout the rest of the summer, and there is no doubt that he is going to have a huge impact on this offense over the next couple of seasons.

Gruden has said all along that Brown will be ready for week one’s game against the Denver Broncos. Now that Brown has gotten his feet underneath him, he’ll likely want to get some extended work in with Derek Carr before the regular season starts up.
