Jim Brown, the greatest running back in the history of the game, is not expected to participate in the Cleveland Browns' ceremony to honor some of its greatest players.

The Browns will have a Ring of Honor cremony at their home opener on Sept. 19. The initial honored players will be the 16 Browns in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Reporter Tony Grossi writes on Cleveland.com that the seven living honorees and their families have been invited to the unveiling.

The Browns have not directly heard from Brown that he will not be attending, according to the report.

"He won't be able to make it," said his wife, Monique Brown, according to the report. "He tried to move a few things around [his schedule], but wasn't able to."

According to reports, Jim Brown will not attend the ceremony.

Brown is apparently miffed about his role as executive advisor being eliminated. Brown, a regular at training camp in the past, has not been seen on the sideline this summer.
