Antonio Brown Trades Insults With Injured Raiders DB Lonnie Johnson Jr. on X

The exchange followed Johnson’s viral recovery-day photos in full gear, with coverage noting lingering doubts about authorship of posts from Brown’s X account.

Overview

  • Johnson, sidelined with a broken fibula, posted photos and video of himself in full Raiders uniform during the Week 1 game.
  • Brown retweeted an image with the caption “CTE of the day,” prompting Johnson to reply with profanity and the line “AIN’T YOU RUNNING FROM THE FEDS.”
  • Sporting News reported Johnson’s reference pointed to legal trouble in May that was described as a charge of attempted murder with a firearm.
  • Brown responded by calling himself “America’s most wanted” and claiming he could put up triple the numbers Johnson will this year, which Johnson mocked.
  • Heavy noted the Raiders held the Patriots to 13 points without Johnson and highlighted speculation from observers that Brown may not personally run his X account.
