On YouTube, Dr. David Chao posted a reaction to the wide receiver’s recent post showing part of his MRI scan. In the post, the wide receiver claimed that the Buccaneers were attempting to hurt him by asking him to play injured.
Chao dismisses this claim, as the MRI reveals that the state of his injury was not as severe as he was claiming and was not at risk for permanent injury.
Did Antonio Brown play injured?
Chao doesn’t dispute that Brown was injured at the end of the season. However, he disputes how much damage was done and whether he could continue to play through the end of the season.
Basically, he’s siding with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the issue.
According to the doctor, the post has since been deleted. In the video, the doctor posits that it could be due to the fact that the wide receiver was told that the MRI was hurting more than helping.
At the same time, the wide receiver can now say that he posted the MRI but ultimately took it down for privacy reasons.
That would give him an out while also getting his message out there. In other words, he can eat his cake and have it, too. Will it be enough for other teams in March to take a chance with him?
Free agency is right around the corner, so Brown’s future won’t be in limbo too much longer.
