Brown not close to 100 percent

Last week's optimism on the state of Pittsburgh WR ANTONIO BROWN's calf is now very much in the past. Brown is testing the calf during warmups today and is generally expected to play, but sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter recently that Brown is nowhere near fully healthy. He has considerable value even so if he is able to take the field against Jacksonville's top-rated secondary; merely having to account for Brown would lessen the attention the Jags could pay to Pittsburgh's other receivers. But those who believed they may have gotten a steal by sneaking Brown through their playoff fantasy drafts are probably not getting superstar numbers from him today. LATE UPDATE: Brown is officially active for the game. So that's something.
