Steelers could be without key pieces vs Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl wide receiver Antonio Brown missed his second consecutive practice Saturday with a toe injury and is listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brown, who leads the NFL in receptions (80) and receiving yards (1,195), has only missed one game since 2012, and that was the 2016 season finale when he was one of several starters who did not play with the Steelers having already clinched the AFC North Division.
