WR Brown again loses helmet bid

Raiders receiver Antonio Brown reportedly lost a second grievance against the NFL regarding the use of an outdated helmet.

The NFL Network reported Sunday that Brown had a hearing with the same arbitrator who presided over his first hearing regarding his helmet.

Brown wanted a one-year grace period to continue using the same model of helmet he’s used over the last 10 years.

ESPN reported that Brown is moving ahead with a deal on an NFL-approved helmet.

Acquired from the Steelers in March, Brown showed up to training camp with frostbite on the bottom of his feet as part of a therapy mishap, followed by the helmet issue.

The Colts have chosen not recoup nearly $25 million from retired quarterback Andrew Luck, ESPN reported Sunday.

Luck could have had to repay $12.8 million prorated from a $32 million signing bonus when he inked a five-year extension in 2016. He also could have been ordered to repay $12 million in roster bonuses paid in March.

ESPN reported that the settlement was reached late last week.

During his stunning announcement Saturday night, Luck explained why he’s stepping away at 29.

“For the last four years or so, I’ve been in this cycle of injury, pain, rehab … and it’s been unceasing, unrelenting, both in season and off season,” he said “It’s taken my joy of this game away.”

Patriots receiver Josh Gordon was removed from the non-football injury list Sunday and will play in the team’s final preseason game Thursday night against the Giants.

Gordon, 28, has had a history of suspensions for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He was suspended for the 2015 season by the league and missed the entire 2016 season while in rehab.

Gordon was conditionally reinstated by the league from his latest suspension on Aug. 16.
