Steelers' Artie Burns: Unlikely to play Friday

Burns (quadriceps) is not expected to play Friday against the Saints, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.

Analysis:

Although Burns is out stretching and working out on the field during pregame, the expectation is that the Steelers' first rounder will be held out Friday. In his absence, the Steelers figure to work in fellow reserve corners Al-Hajj Shabazz and Julian Whigham against New Orleans.
