Steelers Injury Report: Rashard Mendenhall, Antonio Brown, Jonathan Dwyer

As expected, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without wide receiver Antonio Brown and safety Troy Polamalu during tonight’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, while running backs Jonathan Dwyer and Chris Rainey are probable to play. After sustaining what he called a minor high ankle sprain last weekend against the New York Giants, Brown did not practice at all this week. Due to his injury, there’s a good chance Brown will miss multiple weeks of action. Pittsburgh is hoping Polamalu will be able to return next week against the Baltimore Ravens, but he’ll be out tonight. Dwyer and Rainey are expected to play after fully participating in practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Also out for the Steelers are offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert (ankle) and linebacker Stevenson Sylvester (hamstring).
