The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprise addition to their injury report Friday when Antonio Brown missed practice with a toe injury. On Saturday, the dynamic receiver was once again not practicing ahead of the team’s Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
He’s officially questionable to play, though we’d be shocked if Brown didn’t give it a go, even if he was dealing with significant pain.
#Steelers WR Antonio Brown (toe-questionable) missed practice again today for 2nd straight day.

Brown enters Week 13 as the top receiver in the NFL, both in terms of receptions (80) and yards (1,195), and he’s tied for second place for touchdown receptions (eight) behind only Houston Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Needless to say, his value to Pittsburgh’s offense is immense. He’s especially been hot of late, catching 20 passes for 313 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games. If he’s unable to play or is unable to produce at his normal high level, then Pittsburgh will be in even more danger of being upset in this upcoming game.
