Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed that wide receiver Antonio Brown is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tomlin said the veteran is undergoing tests on his knee after missing practice Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Brown is a vital component of the Steelers' offense, and he's recorded 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and a league-best 15 touchdowns in 2018.

Pittsburgh can capture the AFC North with a win over Cincinnati, combined with a Baltimore Ravens loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers can also get the last AFC wild-card spot with a win against the Bengals, combined with a tie in the Indianapolis Colts-Tennessee Titans game.

Brown hasn't missed a game this season and will be counted upon to anchor the team's passing attack on Sunday alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster.
