Cornerback Artie Burns says he expects to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting RCB Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. He’ll take the place of Steven Nelson, who has dealt with a groin injury throughout the week. That’s all according to this tweet from the PPG’s Brian Batko.
Artie Burns said he expects to start at cornerback Sunday night for the Steelers vs. the Chargers after getting almost all the reps in practice this week. He said Steven Nelson got limited action today.

It will be Burns first start of the year and first since Week 15 a year ago, where he started – but was quickly benched – against the New England Patriots.
