The Raiders had done a great job of keeping the extent of the Antonio Brown situation under wraps Kaleb McGary Jersey , until all hell broke loose on Friday. After Saturday’s preseason game against the Rams, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said the most that he has, but still not very much, about the confusing situation that has engulfed his star receiver.“There’s been a lot of reports out there,” Gruden said, via Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I can’t say I agree with all of them. . . . This foot injury wasn’t his fault Kendall Sheffield Jersey , and it’s a serious injury. . . . And the helmet thing is a personal matter to him . . . and we’re supporting him.”Gruden didn’t elaborate on the basis for his disagreement with the various reports that have emerged. And his concession that Brown’s foot injury is “serious” represents the first time anyone with the Raiders has acknowleged that it’s anything more than a day-to-day annoyance.It has become widely reported, starting with Chris Simms on Tuesday’s , that Brown suffered frostbite on his feet after entering a cryotherapy chamber last month without proper footwear.The fact that, per Gruden, the Raiders are “supporting” Brown on “the helmet thing” doesn’t really matter.

The Packers have both of their first-round picks under contract.Safety Darnell Savage, the No. 21 pick last Thursday, was the first first-round pick in the league to sign a contract and No. 12 overall pick Rashan Gary became the second to do so. The Packers announced both signings along with those of four other picks with rookie minicamp opening on Friday.Gary was a highly touted recruit to Michigan out of New Jersey and moved into the starting lineup during his final two seasons with the Wolverines. He had his share of big plays up front, but his production didn’t always match the athletic ability that helped land him in the top half of the first round.Gary was a defensive lineman for Michigan Qadree Ollison Jersey , but there are plans to use him at outside linebacker with the Packers. There’s also been a report that he may need shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, but Gary said he’s fine after being drafted last week.In addition to previously reported signings, the Packers also announced that fifth-round defensive lineman Kingsley Keke has signed a four-year deal. Keke had seven sacks for Texas A&M last season.
