Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown suffered an apparent knee injury in the second quarter against the New England Patriots in Week 15.
He was attempting to haul in a touchdown pass when he was sandwiched between two Patriots defenders. He wasn’t able to catch the pass and then remained on the ground for a while afterward, where he was eventually picked up and taken to the sideline.
