Steelers expect Antonio Brown to be “full go” on Sunday

AP

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he has no idea when running back Le'Veon Bell might report to the team because he hasn’t spoken to him recently, but he’s more sure of what to expect from wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Brown hurt his quad in early August and the team took a slow approach to bringing him back over the remainder of the summer. Brown did not return to practice until Monday, but it seems that approach has paid off as hoped for the wideout.

Tomlin said, via multiple reporters, that Brown will be “full go” when the Steelers face the Browns on Sunday.

Whatever Bell decides to do in the coming days, that’s good news for the Steelers offense as Brown has averaged seven catches and 109 yards while scoring seven touchdowns in his 12 games against the Browns.

  1. why do the Steelers get a pass on this but you hate on the Raiders 3 times a day for Mack? Your journalist integrity is non-existent but I know you’re too gutless to post this anyways so what a waste.

  3. I’m thinking about this Bell situation some more and I don’t quite get it. What benefit is there to Bell to not say when he’s coming back? Wouldn’t a grown up thing to do be to call Tomlin or some member of management to say “I’ll be back on such and such a date” so that his teammates can have some idea of whether or not they can count on him this year? There are no negotiations left at this point so all Bell is doing by not informing the team is showing his power and hurting his teammates that want him in the huddle. I know his price tag will scare away more than half of the teams next year, but I believe his immaturity will scare some of them away as well.

  4. Didn’t the Steelers rest all their starters in the regular season finale vs. the Browns last year and still win?

  5. uh oh….
    dude hasn’t played one snap in preseason….
    and has been nursing a quad all summer?
    Hmmm… I’d be worried that he may feel a ‘snap’ during one of his routes.
    but… doesn’t matter…. ‘old’ ben will be sunburned when it’s over from all the heat he’s gonna get…. lol
    not even debatable… Browns ROLL in this one!

  6. It’s funny that if this had been Gronk with Pats we’d have hundreds of posts all proclaiming the team is a dumpster, treats players cheap, that Gronk has completely fallen out with Belichick, that the team will never win another div title let alone playoff game, and the dynasty is most definitely over. But it’s the Steelers so it’s just a Tuesday, and not even a particularly noisy Tuesday.

  7. It’s funny the amount of people that hate AB. After every practice he stays around and catches 130 balls from the JUGS machine. Every practice. In the offseason he meets up with some of the best players in the league to train and push himself, he picks apart his game to find any flaws and improve. He makes spectacular plays and catches every week and makes them look routine. He’s gone from a 6th round pick, fighting for a roster spot every week to the best receive in the game hands down. He’s the type of player you miss watching when he retires.

    Pat fan needs a tissue

  9. When I was at the Steelers training camp 2 years ago I watched Brown catch balls for 30 minutes after everyone else went in. It was around 92 degrees out. After that he still came over and signed autographs for about 40 minutes. He never failed a drug test, beat a woman or been in trouble with the law.

  10. Wow, this is big news, the starting RB and perhaps one of the best in the league is still unsigned and no details of when he will report. If I were a Steelers fan I would be worried that our best player in nowhere to be found..

    Antonio Brown is the Steelers’ best player….and its not even close

  12. “uh oh….

    He had a quad injury early and they basically put an end to him playing in the preseason to get him plenty of time to heal and get reps. He’s not been injured, he’s been fine, just playing it safe not to aggravate anything in meaningless football.
    That being said, I hope the Browns get absolutely demolished this weekend. Too many fans talking trash about a team they haven’t been in years around here. Cam Heyward was on the radio this morning and said he was working hard to “Crush every Brown in the stadium, including the fans”. So with that mess of an Oline, I’d put more money on the starting Browns QB not making it through the game than AB having any issues.

  13. After the dust settles, the Steelers will be 1-0 and the Browns 0-1. Hue will have a million excuses why the game was lost and Trippy will have half that many as to how the game was won. Some things never change, life moves on.

    $&$&$&$&$&$&
    It’s funny that you should mention the Pats..are you still hurting about Tom Brady fumbling away his last chance for winning a ring? Or is it just typical salty NE tears?
