Antonio Brown is a game-time decision for the Bengals game

[pczach]

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport just reported that Antonio Brown is a game-time decision for the Bengals game. He hasn't practiced all week, and he says he has to show significant progress to be able to get on the field.

AB is banged up worse than we thought.

Sit him out, don't risk further injury. 2018 is a lost cause

Don't need AB to beat the Bengals.

This is just another reason why I wish the Browns/Ravens game was at 1pm. If we had something to play for then it makes the game time decision easy.

The NFL doesn't care about an injured player risking further injury to play. They want the best possible ratings for both games. The way to insure optimum ratings is to have both games on at the same time so everyone is invested in the outcome.

Oh I know why they did it. They want to force both teams to put their best players in and play them.

At this point though if we do back into the playoffs I'd rather sit Brown and save him for the possible Chargers game next week. We should be able to beat the Bungles w/o him.

If this defense cannot step up enough to stop THIS Bengals with the division and playoffs on the line.......then what difference would AB make anyway? Rest AB, get him healthy for a playoff push. that is how I would plan it. Other side of the coin is that this is the playoffs already. I can see either side of the discussion.

I just heard that AB is out. Just an unconfirmed report at the moment...

They shouldn’t need him to beat the Bengals. If they do then they shouldn’t be in the playoffs period...
