Antonio Brown in danger of missing game vs. Bengals?
The Pittsburgh Steelers need a win against the Cincinnati Bengals Monday night if they want to keep home-field advantage throughout the playoffs intact, but they will be facing a much bigger challenge if Antonio Brown can’t play.
Brown has been dealing with a toe injury that forced him to miss practice time this week. While he traveled with the team to Cincinnati, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that he will test out his foot later in the day and is a true game-time decision.
Steelers WR Antonio Brown plans to test his toe later today to determine whether he can play tonight vs. Bengals. Still as questionable as his injury designation.

It goes without saying that Brown is the most important piece of Pittsburgh’s aerial attack. The five-time Pro Bowler is coming off a game in which he torched the Green Bay Packers for 169 yards and two touchdowns. If he can’t play, the Steelers will likely lean more heavily on Le’Veon Bell and their running game.
