Antonio Brown practiced with a certified helmet on Tuesday, but his second grievance against the league is moving forward.
Brown wants to be able to wear a Schutt AiR Advantage helmet made in the last 10 years and certified by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, but the league said that a newer helmet that met those standards failed in testing.
Other players who used helmets that have been prohibited by the NFL were given a one-year grace period before being forced to change to a different model. Brown is arguing that he should have the same right.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Brown’s grievance will likely be heard on Friday. Rapoport adds that a timely resolution is expected, although it remains to be seen if that will be the final chapter of one of this summer’s longest-running sagas.
