Despite facing legal issues and a civil lawsuit alleging sexual assault, Antonio Brown hasn’t given up on his NFL career.
The former Steelers (and Raiders and Patriots) receiver has been working out around his home in Florida to stay in playing shape, but he’s even encountering issues at the gym.
It came in the form of an errant piece of a weight machine.
Brown posted a workout video on Instagram Live, and after benching a casual 315 pounds, he got up only to get drilled on the head by a loose piece of the workout machine’s structure (possibly a piece from a dual cable cross). He later shared a mashup of the video on Twitter just to take a shot at Vontaze Burfict. (NSFW language)

Brown and Burfict, of course, have a heated rivalry going back to the Bengals’ AFC Wild Card meltdown in 2016 — which is still going despite briefly being teammates in Oakland. Burfict injured Brown on an illegal hit in that 2016 playoff game.
Judging from the tweet, Brown wasn’t hurt in the gym accident.
But he’ll have to be more careful out there. The world is dangerous.
