Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has not been cleared to return to practice, as he is still fighting off the ill effects of a concussion.

The All-Pro wide receiver suffered the injury as the recipient of an illegal hit from Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict. Burfict was subsequently suspended for the first three games of the 2016 season.

Brown recorded 136 receptions for 1,834 yards and 10 touchdowns during the regular season.

Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams also missed practice for the second consecutive day due to a lingering foot injury. Williams was seen sporting a walking boot Wednesday, and missed the team's wild-card round contest against the Bengals.

If Williams cannot play Sunday, the tandem of Jordan Todman and Fitzgerald Toussaint will take over in his absence.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was limited in Thursday's practice, but was not allowed to throw passes as he deals with a shoulder injury.
