On Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-2) added an unexpected name to their injury report when one player did not practice.

According to a tweet from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Steelers superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown did not participate in practice today at all and was put on the injury report with a toe injury after being a full participant in practice on Thursday.

Although the injury is considered minor, his absence would have a major impact on the team if he's not able to play during Week 13. Luckily, the Steelers don't have to play until Monday night when they travel to take on their AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.

If Brown is inactive for Monday night's game, it would come as a pretty big surprise because the five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver has only missed one regular season game and one postseason game since 2013. The team is hoping that both Brown and rising star wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who missed last Sunday night's 31-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers due to a hamstring injury, should be fully ready to go against the Bengals.

Brown put together a monster effort against the Packers and finished with 10 receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns. On the year, Brown leads the league in both catches with 80 and receiving yards with 1,195.
