Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is getting ready for the AFC playoffs by working out with Chad Johnson.

The former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is a South Florida native and has a history of working out with the All-Pro. The duo have been posting workout videos over the last week of their latest drills.

Brown has been hampered by a partially torn calf muscle. He missed the last two games of the regular season after going down to the ailment in the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the new England Patriots.

"We out here, injury-free. God is good," Johnson said in one social media video, posted Saturday. "We called God. Back out here. [Brown] came to the shop. You get a flat tire, you come to the shop, you get the tire fixed. Where do you go? You go to the best feet ever."

"...keep that thing going next week. I don't know who up next -- [Jalen] Ramsey, [Marcus] Peters...can get that work."

Johnson then lined up like a defensive back across from Brown. The Steelers star juked him before jetting to his left and stopping for a comeback route, but the throw was off target.

"Getting my dawg @ab back right, it's a one stop shop when you want to get them feet back on point," Johnson wrote for the caption on the video.

The two then talked about another drill, focussing on starting a route.

"Fine tuning & detailing w/ the best receiver in the league @ab, your footwork is your foundation & controls ALL!!" Johnson wrote on the caption for that video. "'Slow feet don't eat.'"

Brown posted a video of the workouts on Saturday. That one showed him blazing past Johnson before snatching a pass one-handed.

The Steelers face an undetermined opponent at 1:05 p.m. Sunday in an AFC Divisional Round matchup at Heinz Field. Brown led the league with 1,533 receiving yards in 2017.
