Antonio Brown will play in the divisional round of the playoffs after missing the last two weeks of the regular season with a calf injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Additionally, the Steelers' superstar receiver is expected to be 100 percent healthy for the matchup and could have suited up in the wild-card round if Pittsburgh failed to get a bye, added Rapoport.

The Steelers have struggled to keep their triplets - Brown, Le'Veon Bell, and Ben Roethlisberger - healthy for the postseason in recent years, so the fact Brown won't be limited is a huge boost for the team.

Brown was the only unanimous First-Team All-Pro after leading the league in receiving yards despite only playing 14 games.

Pittsburgh will host either the No. 3 seed Jacksonville Jaguars or the No. 5 seed Tennessee Titans in the divisional round next weekend.
