Steelers' Brown active for MNF vs. Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is active for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
He had been dealing with a toe injury for much of the week, missing Friday's and Saturday's practice sessions, but was able to take a pregame warmup.
Brown is coming off a Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers in which he caught 10 of 12 targets for 169 yards and two touchdowns. He has totaled 313 receiving yards and five touchdowns over his past two outings.
He caught four of 10 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' first matchup against the Bengals earlier this season.
Overall, Brown has 80 receptions on 126 targets for 1,195 yards and eight touchdowns through 11 games this year.
The Bengals rank ninth in Football Outsiders' DVOA against opposing No. 1 receivers and allow nine targets and 59.9 receiving yards per game to the position.
Linebacker James Harrison, and cornerback Joe Haden were both ruled inactive.
