The Pittsburgh Steelers figure to be without two starting members of their secondary tomorrow, with strong safety Morgan Burnett and nickel cornerback Mike Hilton listed as doubtful to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.
Needless to say, that is going to take some adjusting. While it goes without saying that rookie Terrell Edmunds will take Burnett’s spot at safety—he has already started two of the Steelers’ first three games—it gets a little more complicated after that. Especially the deeper that you get into sub-packages.
Because Burnett is not just a safety in the defense.
