As the NFL trade deadline approached, Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan pulled the trigger on a trade for Washington Commanders’ cornerback William Jackson III. However, shortly after the trade was made Jackson was put on injured reserve and has yet to play a snap for the Steelers. Yesterday, though, Jackson returned to practice which opens up his 21-day window to return to game action.
Today, when meeting with reporters, Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was asked if Jackson has a chance to get some game action this season as a Steeler.
“There’s always a chance,” Austin said in a transcript provided by the team.
