SportsPulse: NFL insider Jarrett Bell discusses a wild weekend and the Steelers not doing enough to come up with a win over New England. USA TODAY Sports
The Pittsburgh Steelers won't have their star wide receiver on Christmas.
Antonio Brown is out for next Monday's game against the Houston Texans with a "significant contusion" to his lower leg, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.
Tomlin refused to speculate about a timeline for Brown beyond the upcoming game.
Brown leads the NFL with 101 receptions and 1,533 receiving yards. He was ruled out of the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday after suffering a calf injury in the first quarter and being taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.
