Antonio Brown Accuses Bucs Of Covering Up His Serious Ankle Injury, Will Need To Undergo Surgery

In one of the strangest moves we’ve ever seen on a football field, Bucs WR Antonio Brown seemingly retired in the middle of the 3rd quarter of his team’s Week 17 game by taking off his jersey and pads and parading himself off the field.

Though the move seemed inexplicable, a new report from Brown and his lawyers accuse the Bruce Arians and the Bucs of catalyzing the incident by attempting to force Brown to play injured and demanding the WR leave the field id he wasn’t going to play.

Antonio Brown accused the Bucs of engaging in an “ongoing cover-up.” He said an MRI on his ankle “shows broken bone fragments stuck in my ankle, the ligament torn from the bone, and cartilage loss, which are beyond painful.” Brown said he will undergo ankle surgery.
