After being questionable all week long after leaving the game Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a back injury, veteran cornerback Donte Jackson will miss Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium with that same back injury.
Post-Gazette Steelers’ insider Gerry Dulac stated on the Steelers Nation Radio pre-game show Saturday afternoon that the Steelers would be without Jackson on Saturday, and that was confirmed by the Steelers’ inactives report ahead of kickoff as Jackson was listed as inactive, giving a helmet to second-year cornerback Cory Trice Jr.
