Steelers' Brown active for divisional game vs. Jaguars

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has been officially declared active for Sunday's divisional playoff game with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The All-Pro suffered a calf injury in Week 15, but will attempt to play after three weeks of rest.

Brown was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but was sent home from Friday's session after coming down with an illness.

The Steelers superstar was the league's leading receiver this season with 1,533 yards. He was an absolute force in last year's playoffs, recording 309 yards and two touchdowns in three games.

Pittsburgh will be going up against the NFL's top-ranked pass defense with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line.
