What a turn of events in Oakland.
After a whirlwind of sagas and tantrums that spiraled out of control with Antonio Brown threatening his General Manager Mike Mayok with violence and racial remarks, AB will take the field for Raiders come Monday.
Head coach Jon Gruden announced on Friday that Brown will not be suspended for his actions on Thursday, and will take the field Week 1 when the Raiders kick off their season against the Broncos in primetime.
Jon Gruden said Antonio Brown will play Monday night vs. Denver.

The flip flop appears to have stemmed from an “emotional apology” from Brown to the team early Friday.
Gruden briefly spoke with the media following the news:
