To say that Pittsburgh Steelers veteran safety Morgan Burnett has been huge disappointment this season would be a bit of an understatement. Burnett, who was signed to a three-year free agent contract by the Steelers back in March, has been dealing with a groin injury since Week 2 of the season and thus hasn’t played since and is probably unlikely to return to the field Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
When and if Burnett can overcome his groin injury, it will be interesting to see how he’s used on defense moving forward as his absence to date has now allowed rookie safety Terrell Edmunds, the team’s first-round selection this year, to not only get on the field more, but make some progress in his development in the last few games.
