Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson is aiming for a return against the Baltimore Ravens after missing the game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a back injury.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson (26) hopes to play against the Baltimore Ravens after missing the game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a recurring back injury. Jackson has been dealing with the issue for weeks, forcing him to miss two games and leave two others early. While he feels good now, the team is taking a cautious approach and managing his condition.
Jackson admitted he wanted to play last week, but head coach Mike Tomlin and the training staff convinced him to rest to prevent the injury from worsening. If Jackson can't play, the Steelers will rely on second-year cornerback Cory Trice, who made his first career start against the Bengals.
