Steelers news: Pittsburgh catches a big break, Antonio Brown still wanted

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting pretty for Sunday afternoon against the Ravens and Antonio Brown is apparently still wanted by police. 

After two straight road wins, Mike Tomlin has a chance to lead his team to three wins in a row for the first time since early in the 2021 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers faced some relatively easy competition since losing to the Bengals — topping the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons in back-to-back weeks.

Now the Steelers will get a bigger challenge against an 8-4 Baltimore Ravens team, but this game might not be as daunting of a task as we initially thought it would be. Here’s the latest Steelers news this Wednesday morning.

Steelers news

After clawing their way back to relevancy this season, the focus of this team is on the here and now. In a big upcoming matchup against the Ravens, it’s essentially confirmed that Baltimore will be without their Pro Bowl quarterback.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently offered an update on Lamar Jackson. He confirmed that Jackson had suffered a sprained PCL — an injury that usually sidelines a player for 1-3 weeks. Schefter reports that Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh, said Jackson is ‘less likely’ to play Sunday vs the Steelers.

While we would love to see Pittsburgh take down this Baltimore team at full strength, Jackson’s injury certainly increases Tomlin’s chances of coming away with another win this week. If the Steelers can defeat a Tyler Huntley-led Ravens team on Sunday, they will be just one game back from .500 and squarely in the Wild Card race.

Antonio Brown news

The Antonio Brown drama continues. A warrant was issued for Brown’s arrest due to his involvement in a domestic dispute, but apparently, he’s still evading authorities. Police confirm with Fox 13 News Tampa Bay that Brown that they have yet to get in contact with Brown.

As of yesterday evening, police believe that Brown is still inside his house. This has gone on for five days so far. The former Steelers receiver has had a number of run-ins with the law since forcing his way out of Pittsburgh following the 2018 season.

The Tennessee Titans recently fired general manager Jon Robinson after an ugly loss against the Eagles. Robinson was responsible for pulling the trigger on the A.J. Brown trade and shipping one of their best players to a championship contender in Philadelphia. The six receivers on Tennessee’s roster have combined for fewer stats than what Brown has earned so far in his first season with the Eagles.
