The Oakland Raiders announced Friday that star wide receiver Antonio Brown will begin training camp on the non-football injury list.

Brown's injury was not disclosed but is considered "very minor," according to ESPN's Field Yates.

As with the physically unable to perform list, players on the NFI list count against their team's 90-man roster and can be activated at any point.

Acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers in March, Brown has wasted little time making his presence felt with his new squad, arriving at training camp in a hot air balloon.
