Antonio Brown: Tampa Bay Bucs coach pushed me to play on a broken ankle, then cut me
Following an outburst during a Sunday game that saw him disrobe on the sidelines and abruptly leave the field, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiversaid Wednesday he had been forced to play on a broken ankle before walking off, then was cut for prioritizing his own health. “The pain was extreme,” he said in a statement. Brown said he endured “pressure directly from my coach” to play while injured. He accused the Buccaneers of unfairly spinning his conduct: “I didn’t quit.
I was cut… They threw me out like an animal and I refused to wear their brand on my body, so I took my jersey off.” Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians claimed not to have known of Brown’s injury. Brown said an MRI he received Monday showed a torn ligament, bone fragments, and cartilage loss that will require surgery.
