Antonio Brown has emerged as argubably the Steelers second best receiver on the team but Brown would not start if Hines Ward (sprained ankle) is unable to play Sunday afternoon vs New England. Emmanuel Sanders who is a better run blocker and not the team’s primary kick returner, is slated to start if Ward’s unable to play. Ward is hopeful to be close to a full participant in tomorrow’s practice.
