Morgan Burnett practicing patience to avoid setbacks with hamstring injury

You don’t get a second chance at a first impression, and the unfortunate reality for Pittsburgh Steelers’ free agent acquisition Morgan Burnett is his first impression resulted in a strained hamstring.

Burnett is a very talented, and versatile, safety, but the one knock on him is his ability to stay healthy. Since his rookie year in 2010, Burnett has played a full 16-game regular season just twice.

Not really a statistic which makes Steelers fans feel great about their newest addition sitting out and watching so early in camp. But on the flip side is the fact it is early.
