NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala confirms PFT's report. Brown returned to practice this past week and told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he expected to play, but that likely won't be the case. It was reported all along that Brown was targeting a Week 13 return against the Ravens, which seems much more doable. Emmanuel Sanders will again start in his place opposite Mike Wallace with Plaxico Burress and David Gilreath working in behind them.
