According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers WR Antonio Brown did not show up for work on Monday.

Several sources have indicated to the Post-Gazette that they do not know why Brown didn’t report to the team for meetings and film review yesterday. However, it’s unclear if Brown’s absence was excused by Steelers HC Mike Tomlin.

On Monday, Brown responded to criticism on Twitter that his production over the years was due in large part to QB Ben Roethlisberger by tweeting: “Trade me let’s find out.”
