New Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback William Jackson III hasn’t seen the field since the Washington Commanders fell 17-21 to the Tennessee Titans back in week five. The last time he has practiced was on Thursday, October 13, on a limited basis. He was listed on the Commanders’ injury report as a full participant on Wednesday, but did not practice Friday.
And he would never participate in practice again until he drove three hours straight, at night, to arrive in Pittsburgh last week, where he was presumably a full participant. While there is some speculation about his inactive status, he talked about the official story of his back injury with reporters last week.
