The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired in cornerback William Jackson III not only a player who struggled to adapt to the scheme he had been playing in the past two years, but also who has been injured and is only now coming back.

The sixth-year veteran has been dealing with a back injury for the past several weeks, although there is some speculation that his struggles within the Washington Commanders’ scheme has had as much or more to do with keeping him off the field since head coach Ron Rivera pulled him from the game in week five. And so that’s where we stand as he arrives in Pittsburgh, for whom he has already been on the practice field.
