Canada's Chase Brown may have to watch the Cincinnati Bengals' final playoff push from the sidelines.
The running back was listed as questionable for Saturday's Week 18 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Cincinnati's Thursday injury report.
Brown, of London, Ont., was named a Pro Bowl alternate after rushing for 990 yards on 229 carries and adding 54 catches for 360 yards while appearing in all 16 games this season for the Bengals. Brown also scored 11 touchdowns (seven rushing, four receiving).
He's dealing with an ankle injury suffered last week when sliding down at the one-yard line during a victory over the Denver Broncos.
Cincinnati (8-8) must beat Pittsburgh while Denver and the Miami Dolphins need to lose Sunday for the Bengals to sneak into the playoffs.
The AFC's three Pro Bowl running backs ahead of Brown are Baltimore's Derrick Henry, Houston's Joe Mixon and Indianapolis' Jonathan Taylor.
