After news broke that Antonio Brown “might” get suspended following a verbal altercation with Oakland Raiders general manager Mike Mayock, Ian Rapoport reported that the team is now preparing to play without him on Monday Night Football against the Denver Broncos in Week 1.
Sources: The #Raiders are not planning to have WR Antonio Brown for Week 1. It’s not clear if it’s a suspension or if he’ll be merely inactive. But those are their plans. He likely will stay away from the team.

It appears as though Brown’s time in Oakland might already be over before it started.
During his ugly breakup with the #Steelers, Antonio Brown also used the "Instagram unfollow" trick on them and players like @TeamJuJu

Now he has unfollowed the #Raiders and player like Derek Carr.
Maybe that's his process to part ways with a team, it worked the 1st time.
The Broncos are 2.5 point favorites as of Thursday night. Be sure to keep an eye on this matchup on the “Games” tab.
