FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2019, file photo, Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown (77) blocks Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap (96) during the first half of an NFL football game in Oakland, Calif. The Raiders placed Brown on season-ending injured reserve, one day after the big right tackle was named to his first Pro Bowl. Brown, who this past offseason signed a contract making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, has missed the past two games because of a pectoral injury after sitting out one game earlier in the season with an ankle injury. “His pec is just not getting any better,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday, Dec. 18. “It’s disappointing. Obviously what he did put on tape was very impressive.” (AP Photo/D. Ross Cameron, File)
