Three minutes into the second episode of the season Rod Woodson Jersey , the Raiders receiver’s burned feet took center stage.“Do you want to see it?” Brown asked the NFL Films crew. “Are you sure you want to see it?”Brown showed the bottoms of his blistered and cracked feet, which co-host Chris Simms first reported were injured in a cryotherapy chamber. “My feet is pretty much getting circumcised, right? Right? For real,” Brown said to the NFL Films cameras after pulling off his socks. “It’s kind of like a pull back right now. I’m [expletive] circumcised on my feet. Hopefully my feet are born again, and I figure to run faster. Feel sorry for me later.”A week after not addressing the reason for Brown’s injured feet, Hard Knocks was more forthcoming in the second episode. Brown explained he was on vacation in Paris and, while training, sought cold therapy to recover.Hard Knocks, though Dan McCullers Jersey , never said Brown was wearing improper footwear in the crytherapy chamber.“I got out, and I felt my foot burning,” Brown told the NFL Films crew. “I was like, ‘Man, I feel a hot sensation.’ The next like 24 hours it swelled up. It got really big. I couldn’t really walk or put pressure. The doctor came over, drained a little out. Scalpel the next day. Freaking scissors the next day. Just kind of let it leak all out. As everything leaked all out, I was able to put a little pressure. Thankfully, my trainer was working me out in the midst of my freaking. . . I can’t be on my feet.“Now, it’s just like new skin Roosevelt Nix Jersey , I’m just trying to get my feet used to feeling that, but I feel like I’ve just got a . . . big whoopee cushion. You know?”Raiders coach Jon Gruden speaking to the team’s head athletic trainer, Rod Martin, called Brown’s hobbled feet a “a serious burn.” Martin added “frostbite.”Brown then is shown leaving training camp.Sprinkled into the rest of the episode are the questions — and non-answers — about when Brown will return. General Manager Mike Mayock, who played no role in the first episode, is shown in the production meeting with the team’s broadcasters answering a question about Brown.“He’s going to be fine,” Mayock said. “I’m not going to get into all the medical, because we’re not supposed to this time of year. But at the end of the day, he’s like a thoroughbred and he’s going to be fine. I’m hoping he’ll be back next week full speed.”Brown did indeed return Tuesday. It remains to be seen when he will practice again Coty Sensabaugh Jersey , though. Brown last practiced July 30.Brent Musburger, the team’s play-by-play voice, asked Gruden in the production meeting how concerned the coach was about Brown’s absence.“I’m concerned,” Gruden said. “We’re missing time here. I’ve always said, ‘Time spent; value received.’ You’ve got to spend time at this. So we’re concerned. We’re optimistic, but we’re concerned.”Hard Knocks didn’t spend much time on Brown’s helmet issue, showing an NFL Network clip about Brown’s grievance against the NFL near the end of the episode but teased it for next week. Tuesday’s episode ended with Brown returning to camp. To be continued, in other words. Plus: Doug Pederson seemed very excited for the addition of Clayton Thorson to the QB room."The Eagles wrapped up 2019 NFL Draft weekend with five rookies and trading their acquired seventh-round pick for a defensive tackle from the Colts. Howie Roseman and co. were busy and made the most out of their limited picks, and most were widely celebrated Franco Harris Jersey , and one may have caught some off guard.Howie, Doug Pederson and Joe Douglas spoke to the media one last time before calling it a night. Howie opened with some remarks about the exciting weekend for the organization.Here’s what else the trio had to say about Day 3 of the draft and their draft class and strategy as a whole.On drafting more offense than defensive playersIt was interesting to see Howie to go offensive-heavy during the draft, with 4-of-5 picks being on that side of the ball. Roseman said he regretted calling the DL draft class “historic” earlier in the offseason but their overall plan was to stick to their board regardless of how it fell.Ultimately though, Roseman wasn’t wrong and so many defensive players going early on in Round 1, pushed a lot of their highly rated guys to them without having to reach much. Including for a guy like Shareef Miller, who Howie said in a normal draft would have probably gone Day 2.He later talked about how there were a lot of different scenarios they ran through the past few weeks andand whether offense or defense they were always getting some kind of lineman with their first three picks. Howie stressed that both sides of the ball are important to the organization and they took their best players available.Howie said that they aren’t focused entirely on adding offensive weapons for Carson Wentz, although it does go into account, and having a lot of their key guys extended through the next few seasons, and now rookies who they think will contribute early Darrius Heyward-Bey Jersey , is good.On not taking a DB or LBHowie said that they would have liked to add guys at those positions, and there were some discussions at points throughout the draft between a couple of guys, but at the end of the day they are happy with their decisions. Roseman later said that they did address those areas a little bit during free agency as well, bringing in safety Andrew Sendejo re-signing Rodney McLeod, as well as adding linebacker L.J. Fort. On Clayton ThorsonDoug Pederson noted that his first opportunity to see the Northwestern quarterback was at the Combine and they had a chance to chat. with the head coach noting Thorson’s bowl record and passing records in college were impressive.Howie echoed that the Joe Douglas and the scouts did a great job of putting the QB on their radar early and he was someone they thought had dropped a bit more than they anticipated.On trading for Hassan RidgewayRoseman explained why they traded away their acquired seventh round pick, and noted that they had been trying to make the move for awhile, but it finally worked out where the Colts had a guy still on the board they wanted to get.
