Pittsburgh Steelers’ star wide receiver, Antonio Brown, who was injured in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, reached out to his fans through Twitter Monday, saying he feels "blessed."
In a tweet, Brown called his injury a "minor setback" and said even though the Steelers didn’t win the game the team made a statement.
even in adversity I can’t help but feel blessed. Thanks to everyone who reached out. This is a minor setback for me but not this team. The goal is still the same & I’m confident that we can & will achieve it. We may not have won the game yesterday but this TEAM made a statement. pic.twitter.com/L2drCGim2W

In the second quarter, Brown left the game with an injury to his left leg.
The news got worse at halftime, when the team announced he was being taken to a hospital for further evaluation of a calf injury.
After the game, reports indicated Brown was diagnosed with a partially torn calf muscle that would not require surgery, and that he could return to play this season.
Earlier in the game, Brown became the first player in NFL history to record 100 catches in five consecutive seasons.
