Robjr83 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Burress fell awkwardly on his right shoulder while attempting to catch a ball in practice and had to be carted off the field. He signed a one-year contract in the offseason with the Steelers after playing for Pittsburgh last season, but only appearing in four games. The 35-year old was listed as the No. 2 receiver on the team. Now, his playing days might be over. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013-08-08/plaxico-burress-pittsburgh-steelers-wide-receiver-ben-roethlisberger I guess they'll have to drag Hines off his barstool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesteelhurtin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 First Hines sign is wrong he used crackbacks not cut blocks also Burress was no lock for a roster spot anyways with the emergence of Justin Brown and Derek Moye who are both tall guys. I like brown better as he has more speed then moye. This really sucks for plex though. It was his last shot and he was having a good camp and was being a great mentor to the younger guys. Sucks he has to go out like that but I guess it's better then him possibly not making the team. Oh well that's just more money for the Steelers.

He was listed as the teams #2 WR, so it sounds like he had a good shot..... speaking of shots.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burress wasn't listed at 2 Sanders is Antonio Brown is number 1 Justin Brown is a rookie from OU. Burres and cotch were fighting it out for the fourth spot behind Wheaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesteelhurtin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 http://www.steelers.com/team/depth-chart.html. they have him listed behind Sanders ahead of wheaton but that's only because Wheaton is a rookie and actually has been taking most of the snaps as the slot wr with the 1st team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
