2023 ‘Not Even On My Radar’, Injured CB Jackson Says; Tomlin ‘Knows Exactly Who I Am And What Player I Can Be’

The Pittsburgh Steelers gave up a conditional late-round draft pick ahead of the bye week in order to bring in veteran cornerback William Jackson III. He was promptly placed on the Reserve/Injured List, which made it impossible for the conditions to be met that would require the team to give up the draft pick agreed to.

Jackson has finally resumed practicing and is hoping to have an opportunity to get on the field for the final game of the regular season, but he understands that it’s not his decision. It’s not even his body’s decision, necessarily, but that of the coaching and medical staff.
