Ireland kicker and International Pathway Program member Mark Jackson will participate in the Pittsburgh Steelers upcoming rookie minicamp set to take place Friday through Sunday. Though not reported by any outlet, the team website showed Jackson getting fitted for his helmet in a Thursday article previewing the weekend.
It’s not clear in what capacity Jackson is coming to Pittsburgh but it’s likely on a tryout basis instead of being under contract. Though the team has Chris Boswell and signed Matthew Wright, neither are eligible for rookie minicamp and Pittsburgh needed a kicker to be able to practice.
