I know...how could any team ever start Gee-NO? Really?This is absurd.

Hearing it is not serious and Brown has only missed one game in his career for injury.I can see starting him, but where is the confidence coming from?
He said it was minor on Friday then Brown didn't practice Saturday and I saw some beat writers say that it didn't look good for Brown.On Red Zone Channel, the NFL Network Fantasy guys just said that Ian Rappaport has heard that Brown's toe is not serious and he expects him to play tomorrow.
FF Live Stefania Bell reporting the same... calling him a genuine game time decision... Steelers will evaluate in warmups if Brown is capable of being Brown.On Red Zone Channel, the NFL Network Fantasy guys just said that Ian Rappaport has heard that Brown's toe is not serious and he expects him to play tomorrow.

I was thinking Parker if Landry was out but he’s good. No Talib. Silva’s matchup article says Parker should be the best wr option this game even if Parker played. I picked up Eli Rogers so I can wait on ab and then pull the switch if necessary.Unless he's in a coma, I think I'll risk it. Couldn't live with myself starting Parker or Goodwin over him.
These two reports seem different.FF Live Stefania Bell reporting the same... calling him a genuine game time decision...

Sorry about that. I meant to grab the Scheffter report/quote.These two reports seem different.

Did Rappaport give any info other?
Sheeeit. Was really hoping a beat writer would give us some solid news either way. Not even sure what teams playing on Monday do on Sunday.Sorry about that. I meant to grab the Scheffter report/quote.
From what I have read, teams play on Monday do not practice on SundaySheeeit. Was really hoping a beat writer would give us some solid news either way. Not even sure what teams playing on Monday do on Sunday.
Me too!!! Until I find out he's not playing then I'll put JuJu in, assuming he's playing lolStarting him with confidence
Correct. That would be the travel day for the visiting team.From what I have read, teams play on Monday do not practice on Sunday
"Experts" run wild with this kind of stuff, inferring meaning way beyond the actual quotes or facts available. The hot take opportunity is way too important to let real information (or lack thereof) get in the way.No, Rapoport wasn't on the show; the other "experts" were referencing him. They were probably referring to his day-old tweet, so I don't have much faith in them.
Not at all. First, if the Steelers lose tonight they will only have a 2 game buffer over the Ravens for the division. That makes the next weeks game against the Ravens a must win situation. If they win tonight, they could lose to both the Ravens and Patriots and likely would still win the division. Being a divisional game, this is pretty much a must-win situation. Second, Jacksonville has the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Steelers so I think it would be in the Steelers best interest to maintain a 2 game lead over them.Dizzy said:Steelers can afford to lose this game, correct?
Everything they are trying to accomplish is still in play if they beat New England in week 15 (tied record, and holding the tie breaker).
I guess what I am saying is that the Steelers will need AB much more in week 15 than Monday night.
You mean Burfict intentionally kicks or stomps on him or have the refs pre-emptively ejected Burfict for a cheap shot already?he will be fine until one of the Bengals intentionally kicks or steps on his foot
It is an important game but I don't think it is worth risking AB. If there is any chance at all he could further injure the toe then you let him sit. I think the Steelers without AB have a good chance to beat the Bengals tonight. The Ravens game is the bigger game anyway-- if you beat them at home the division is won, no matter what you do this week.Not at all.

I consider tonight to be a must-win game for the Steelers if they want to remain in good shape for a bye.
I agree with all of this. I was just responding to the poster's assertion that there wasn't much on the line for the Steelers tonight. I think a win tonight all but secures the division (and takes the pressure a little off next week). Of course lots of football to be played. It's a very important game but absolutely not worth risking a serious injury to AB. Got to think big picture still.It is an important game but I don't think it is worth risking AB.

You bring up a good point about Jacksonville and the bye but I think it is a bit premature to worry about that. Lots of football to be played
Just scrolled through Schefter's tweets and didn't see this one? Where'd you see that. Granted, I'm pretty bad at the Twitter.Adam Schefter says he is OUT
well that's good!!!That's a fake Adam Schefter account. Kind of important to look into who really tweets it and not just the name.
You'd sweat it out even if Brown was out?? Bryant won't get a point?I need 1 point. 1 Fn point!!
i Have AB and Bryant. Really don't want to sweat this one out.
You have both playing, or must pick one? If must pick one, safest bet is Bryant. Assuming 1 pt=10 yards, he should get you that, while with AB, there’s risk of a zero.I need 1 point. 1 Fn point!!

Sounds like NFL Network is going to give us an update soon......... In uniform warming up. We hear he would test it during warm ups.He's on field in full uniform
