Mike Tomlin to meet with Antonio Brown over Monday absence

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is meeting with Antonio Brown on Tuesday to discuss his absence from work Monday and other issues surrounding the All-Pro receiver.

Brown got into a sideline confrontation with offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner during Sunday's 42-37 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and responded 'Trade me let's find out' to a former Steelers staff member who tweeted Brown wouldn't be the same player without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

"I'm looking forward to visiting with him today and discussing (the absence) and some other things," said Tomlin during his weekly press conference Tuesday.
