Donte Jackson - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not playing against Cincinnati Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Jackson was limited in the last two practices of the week due to a lingering back issue, and he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play in Saturday's regular-season finale. Cory Trice will likely start at outside outside corner alongside Joey Porter, and the duo will be responsible for slowing down the superstar wideout duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Impact Jackson injured his hamstring during the Steelers' Week 10 win over the Commanders. He opened as a DNP on Wednesday, but his practice participation increased over the week and he'll be good to go for Sunday's AFC North showdown. Jackson has logged 26 tackles (17 solo) and six pass defenses (including three interceptions) through the first nine games of the regular season.

Expected to play Sunday Jackson underwent an MRI on his hamstring and is now expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

Assuming his injury doesn't worsen throughout the week, Jackson will likely start opposite Joey Porter as part of Pittsburgh's top cornerback duo Sunday.
