The Pittsburgh Steelers disciplined Antonio Brown for missing work on Monday.

"He and I met yesterday for an extended period of time," Mike Tomlin said. "I'll leave the nature of that conversation between us. There was discipline involved for his missed meeting on Monday."

Brown was a no-show to team headquarters the same day he tweeted "Trade me let's find out" to a former Steelers public relations staffer who posted that Brown wouldn't be the same player without Ben Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger said he has spoken to Brown and is not taking his actions personally.

"He's the best in the world," Roethlisberger said of Brown. "When you're the best in the world, you want to help participate, you want to win football games. We're all a little frustrated because we're not winning right now."
