BREAKING: Antonio Brown Will Not Be Put On Commissioner’s Exempt List, Eligible To Play Sunday

Antonio Brown looks to make his New England Patriots debut on Sunday.

There were heavy rumors over the past week that the often controversial WR could be put on the commissioner’s exempt list while the league investigates rape claims against him, but the decision was made on Friday that it will not happen, since there is no criminal investigation against him.

At this point, NFL will not place Antonio Brown on commissioner exempt list, as there is no criminal investigation, making him eligible to play Sunday vs. Miami, per sources. NFL has opened its investigation, which will include interviews with Antonio Brown and his accuser.
