Pittsburgh Steelers injury report: Only one player out vs Texans

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without one superstar during their game with the Houston Texans in Week 16, on the road.

With only two games remaining before the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers only have one injury to deal with in Houston. While their prepare for their postseason run, the Steelers are hoping to focus on their lone inactive to get back on the field by their first playoff action.

Antonio Brown will be the only one not playing in black and gold this week. Dealing with a partially torn calf muscle, Brown won’t be back on the field until the team’s first playoff game. With different reports coming out stating when Brown will actually be back, no one seems to know exactly when to expect No. 84 back.

For now, the Steelers are just focused on earning a first-round bye to give their Pro Bowl receiver one more week to heal. With the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns left on their schedule, Pittsburgh should have an easy road to the second-round of the playoffs.

For Houston, they’re looking at a few missing pieces after dealing with more than one injury last week. Although their injury report was cut significantly from reports earlier in the week, the Texans are still missing important players as they take on the Steelers.

Next: Two different stories of Brown's return

The Steelers should be able to overcome the injury of Brown, but will have to rely on guys like Le’Veon Bell and JuJu Smith-Schuster to overtake the offense. With players like Joe Haden and Vance McDonald returning to action after missing multiple weeks, this team should have enough star power to continue their winning ways in Houston.
