Justin Brown Returns To Practice Today Despite Broken Nose

Steelers wide receiver Justin Brown says he will return to practice today despite having a broken nose. The second year wide receiver didn’t even realize it was broken until teammates told him so after Thursday’s practice. The injury occurred when safety Shamarko Thomas’ helmet collided with his during a blocked pass.

Brown says that his nose feels fine, and he’ll keep it taped and bandaged for a week. According to Steelers.com correspondent Missi Matthews, Brown has had surgery to repair the break.  Brown doesn’t have any hard feelings towards Thomas. “Everybody is trying to make their mark. It happens. We know what we signed up for.”
