Released by Pittsburgh The Steelers released Jackson (back) on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Jackson was traded by Washington to Pittsburgh during the 2022 campaign, but he didn't make any appearances for the Steelers and ended the season on IR with a back injury. The 2016 first-round pick has appeared in 75 career games and totaled 51 pass defenses and five interceptions, so he should garner some attention as a free agent this summer.

Impact Jackson, who's been on injured reserve with a nagging back issue since Nov. 12, returned to practice Wednesday, ultimately opening the 21-day window for the Steelers to activate him to the active roster. The 30-year-old was acquired by Pittsburgh via a trade with Washington prior to the team's Week 9 bye, but he has yet to make his Steelers' debut.
