Mike Hilton Says He Would Play Free Safety Over Terrell Edmunds

The Pittsburgh Steelers have already answered the question as to who would play strong safety if Morgan Burnett were to miss a game, which is looking like a possibility for Monday as the veteran was limited in practice yesterday. That would be rookie Terrell Edmunds, who started the season opener.

But what about if Sean Davis misses a game? Do the Steelers view Edmunds as the number two safety for both spots? According to one member of the secondary, not quite.

Nickel cornerback Mike Hilton told Jacob Klinger yesterday that Burnett would be the number two free safety if Davis were to miss a game, and it would then follow that Edmunds would play strong safety.
