PITTSBURGH -- Antonio Brown calls his calf injury a "minor setback" on his way back to helping the Pittsburgh Steelers, possibly for the playoff run.
Brown tweeted a statement Monday, saying that "even in adversity I can't help but feel blessed."
even in adversity I can't help but feel blessed. Thanks to everyone who reached out. This is a minor setback for me but not this team. The goal is still the same & I'm confident that we can & will achieve it. We may not have won the game yesterday but this TEAM made a statement. pic.twitter.com/L2drCGim2W

Brown has a partially torn left calf, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The star receiver is eyeing a return for the playoffs, which could feature a bye week for Pittsburgh, the source told Schefter.
Brown suffered the injury with 13:09 left in the second quarter of Sunday's 27-24 loss to the New England Patriots. He left the field and went to the hospital after getting tangled up with a Patriots defensive back on a pass into the end zone.
The durable Brown hasn't missed a game because of injury since 2012.
Brown garnered MVP consideration after catching 99 passes for 1,509 yards and nine touchdowns in the first 13 games of the season. Brown added two catches for 24 yards in 17 minutes of work Sunday to ensure a fifth straight 100-catch season, an NFL record.
