Hard Knocks avoided addressing the real issue with Antonio Brown‘s feet last week. The NFL reality show also didn’t mention the receiver’s helmet issue Bo Jackson Jersey , which already was an issue by the night of the premiere although no one outside the walls knew it.The events of the past week have made it impossible for Hard Knocks to leave it on the cutting room floor this week no matter how much the Raiders wish they could.Indeed, an NFL Films official tells Michael Gehlken of the that tonight’s episode on HBO will include mention of Brown’s helmet and his feet.Brown’s arrival today briefly makes the show despite HBO needing final copy by 2:45 p.m. ET, Gehlken updated. More of it will air next week.Although co-host Chris Simms reported last Tuesday that Brown injured his feet in a cryotherapy machine, Hard Knocks made no mention of what is medically wrong with Brown’s feet in the first episode. The show said only the star receiver “is hobbled by injuries to his feet.”While last week’s episode produced the second-highest premiere in the show’s past nine seasons, Hard Knocks could produce even bigger numbers tonight.

However, just because the option wasn’t picked up does not close the door on his return to the Raiders beyond 2019.“That does not mean that we don’t want Karl with us this year and in the future Womens Derek Carr Jersey ,” Gruden said before the Raiders’ rookie minicamp Friday. “All that means is we didn’t exercise his fifth-year option. If you really study the fifth-year option and what it entails, it entails a lot. That does not mean, by any means, that we don’t want Karl Joseph as a captain or a leader on this team, now and in the future.”If we do take a look at what the fifth-year option entails Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , it would mean the Raiders pay Joseph about $6.5M in 2020. There is very little in Joseph’s body of work that would imply he is worth that figure, unless we believe that his sparkling play will continue forthwith.And if it does, then the Raiders will quite likely offer Joseph a new contract extension at a price befitting his level of play. They will have to compete against other teams to do so at that point, but Joseph will be offered a fair deal and if he leaves it will be because another team overpaid and not because he wasn’t wanted. The Raiders certainly have contingencies in place if Joseph walks; they drafted safety Johnathan Abram in the first round last month and signed Lamarcus Joyner to a four-year deal. Hopefully Joseph will play up to his huge potential in the coming season and earn a new contract with the Silver and Black.
