PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Artie Burns' challenging season took another hit.
The former first-round pick was late to a team activity last week, according to sources. That could explain why Burns, despite making five starts this season, did not play a single snap on defense in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Cleveland Browns.
One source said that activity was a pregame walkthrough.
The Steelers had hoped Burns would break out in his third year in the league, but after an impressive training camp, he lost his starting job to Coty Sensabaugh in Week 3.
