Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown isn't worried about hard feelings lingering whenever running back Le'Veon Bell decides to show up.
Brown defended Bell on Friday after several teammates expressed frustration that the All-Pro has yet to sign his franchise tender and rejoin the club Jeff Petry Jersey Kids , meaning he will be out of the lineup on Sunday when the defending AFC North champions open the season in Cleveland.
"No one wins when the family feuds," Brown said. "At the end of the day, we're a family. If he's here or he's not, we want the best for him. That's what it's all about. It's not about pointing fingers and fighting amongst each other. We're a core group that should respect and love each other regardless of the situation."
Brown posted a picture on Instagram on Thursday of him and Bell celebrating a touchdown. The All-Pro receiver added the caption "we all we got Brian Gibbons Jersey , we all we need, ready to roll whenever you get back with us."
Brown insisted he's ready to roll too after skipping all four preseason games in part because of a quadriceps injury. He is 90 yards away from becoming the fifth active player with 10,000 career yards receiving and is coming off his NFL-record fifth straight season of at least 100 receptions.
"Obviously, it's been a rough preseason for me but I'm excited to get out there and show the world what I'm capable of Tim Schaller Jersey ," Brown said.
The Steelers will start second-year back James Conner in Bell's place. Brown isn't too concerned about Bell's absence or the debut of offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, who took over in January.
"As long as we got (quarterback Ben Roethlisberger) and the (offensive) line we've got a better chance to win I think," Brown said.
NOTES: The Steelers ruled TE Vance McDonald (foot) out for the opener. ... Rookie S Terrell Edmunds is expected to start. The first-round pick played well during the preseason while veteran Morgan Burnett dealt with injuries. Burnett is expected to play in sub packages.
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson officially named Nick Foles the team’s starting quarterback for Thursday night’s game against the Falcons and it really wasn’t much of a decision.
Pederson reiterated on Tuesday that Carson Wentz has yet to be cleared for contact by the Eagles medical team after tearing his ACL late last season and changing that status isn’t going to be up to the coach. Pederson did say he believes Wentz’s clearance is coming sooner rather than later, however.

Pederson said Wentz wants to be on the field, “but he also knows that the longevity of his career Womens Derek Dorsett Jersey , he and I, hopefully we’re in this thing for the long run.” In the short run, the offense still belongs to the guy who piloted it well enough to be named the Super Bowl MVP in February.
