Report: Brown returns to Steelers' facility after Monday absence

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown will return to team facilities Wednesday after not reporting to Monday meetings, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Speaking Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expected Brown back with the team and insisted the star wideout has not asked for a trade. Drew Rosenhaus, Brown's agent, corroborated the claims.

The receiver's absence Monday sparked a media frenzy, as it came on the same day he responded to a tweet from a former Steelers employee who suggested the star wideout wouldn't have been as successful on another team, with Brown saying: "Trade me let’s find out."

Pittsburgh will hold game-planning meetings Wednesday as it prepares for a Week 3 road date with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
