No sooner had the Steelers released their list of cuts as they trimmed their roster than safety Nat Berhe, one of the players released, took to Twitter.

That post was in response to a report the Steelers will bring Berhe back Sunday after they make a move to place a player on injured reserve.
Who might that be?
Considering Berhe's position, it could very well be a safety. And only one safety hasn't practiced the past two weeks -- Morgan Burnett.
The team's biggest offseason free agent signing hasn't done anything on the field since the team's Week 2 preseason game against Green Bay, though Mike Tomlin hasn't mentioned any kind of serious injury involving the veteran safety. Tomlin, however, is more tight-lipped when it comes to injuries than most college coaches.
But with Burnett, Sean Davis, Terrell Edmunds, Jordan Dangerfield and Marcus Allen all making the 53-man roster Saturday, why would the Steelers have a need for a sixth safety?
That question could be answered Sunday.
