Steelers' Antonio Brown will play in playoff game against Jaguars

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown will play in Sunday's playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the team.

Brown was sent home from Steelers practice Friday, but it wasn't because of the calf injury he's been nursing for the past four weeks.

Brown was a full practice participant all week, but coach Mike Tomlin said Brown fell ill Friday. So Tomlin kept him away from the team two days prior to the Steelers' divisional round playoff game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Brown was listed as questionable to play Sunday.
