Antonio Brown sued for battery, assault; WR's legal team issues stern response

That lawsuit was filed Wednesday by Anton Tumanov, and Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times reported the key details from it, as Tumanov alleges Brown and his trainer, Glenn Holt, caused him severe injuries.

“[Tumanov] continues to suffer severe bodily injuries, pecuniary losses, and mental anguish,” the lawsuit reads, per Baker, as Holt and Brown face one charge of battery and assault each.

After numerous off-field and personal-conduct issues saw Brown wear out his welcome with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots in quick succession, his NFL career was nearly over.

But Tom Brady took Brown under his wing as the All-Pro wideout signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. It turned out to be a great move for all parties involved, as Brown was a key contributor to the Super Bowl LV-winning team.

At least for now, it appears that Brown is focused on football and is putting the team above himself. He might’ve been considered radioactive anywhere outside of Tampa Bay as a free agent this offseason, yet he probably could’ve waited it out on the open market and made more money elsewhere.

Instead, Brown decided to run it back with Brady and the Bucs for 2021.
