THE WRIGHT IDEA

Brown out for Pittsburgh

REPLACING ANTONIO Brown won’t be a one-man job for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The team’s top wide receiver is out indefinitely with a left calf injury sustained against the New England Patriots.

That means it’s up to Martavis Bryant, rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster and others to fill a significant void left by the star wide receiver when the Steelers visit the Houston Texans on Monday.

“(Brown) is always tough because he never misses practice and he never misses games,” Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said Thursday. “You don’t necessarily think about that scenario a whole bunch.” six under NFL suspension.

Elliott returned in better shape than he left, as he is leaner after training in Cabo, San Lucas, for much of his time away.

“I think we’re going to have significant touches,” Linehan said. “He looks like he’s in great shape. Practicing great. He just looks

great. I think he’s ready to roll.”

Coming off the second concussion of his career, Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright said Thursday he believes any player that suffers a concussion should be required to sit out at least one game. Wright missed last Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams after he was not able to pass the league mandated concussion protocol in time to be able to play. Wright was fine with the decision.

“The NFL needs to make it mandatory to where you miss one game if you have a concussion. Because you’re just not right,” Wright said. “I don’t care if anyone says that they feel fine.” —AP
