Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson, who has been battling a pinched nerve in his lower back, participated in individual drills at practice on Thursday. This suggests he may have a chance to play against the Eagles on Saturday.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson returned to practice on Thursday, a sign that he could have a chance of playing on Saturday. Jackson participated in individual drills after missing the last two days of action and had a helmet on. He will likely be listed as a limited participant.Jackson said on Tuesday that he suffered a pinched nerve in his lower back. That injury has hampered him for the last few weeks, and he just had to let it rest.
An MRI revealed that his back had nothing structurally wrong, but the pinched nerve continued to flare up. On the play where he aggravated the injury, Jackson was trying to get off a block by Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, but he twisted in a way that caused a flare-up of the pinched nerve. In other words, he is truly questionable, but Jackson’s spotty practice availability does not inspire a ton of hope. He has been receiving treatment to help with the injury, but it is unpredictable and could cause him pain at any time, so they will exercise caution
