It’s unclear how much Artie Burns may have played regardless but the zero defensive snaps he received yesterday afternoon may have been directly related to a tardy appearance for a team walkthrough, according to this tweet by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Steelers cornerback Artie Burns was late to a team activity last week, according to sources, with one source saying that activity was a walkthrough. Burns did not play a defensive snap Sunday against Cleveland despite productive moments in practice.
Coty Sensabaugh started in place of Burns. The two had rotated every other series for the last month but Sensabaugh worked as the Steelers’ starting right cornerback in the win over the Cleveland Browns.
