Antonio Brown calls calf injury a ‘minor setback’

Antonio Brown calf injury

The calf injury that Antonio Brown suffered on Sunday is a bit more serious than initially believed, but the Pittsburgh Steelers star does not expect it to keep him down very long.

On Monday, Brown took to Twitter to express confidence in his teammates and label his injury a “minor setback.”

Brown was injured early in Sunday’s heartbreaking loss to the New England Patriots when he tried to come up with a pass in the end zone. He had to be helped off the field, and the Steelers ruled him out for the remainder of the game with what they called a “calf bruise.” Brown was taken to the hospital for further examination, and he reportedly has a partially-torn calf muscle.

The Patriots are likely going to wrap up the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, as they have home games against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins to close out the season. Pittsburgh is currently just one game ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars for the No. 2 seed, and the Jags have the head-to-head tiebreaker from beating the Steelers earlier in the season. The sooner Brown can come back, the better.
