Jackson (back) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Jackson will miss a game for the first time this season due to a pinched nerve he suffered in the Week 15 loss to the Eagles. He won't have much time to heal before Pittsburgh's next game against the Chiefs on Christmas. Cory Trice or James Pierre could see action at outside cornerback in Jackson's absence.

Jackson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Jackson is working through a pinched nerve in his back that he suffered during Pittsburgh's Week 15 loss to Philadelphia. He was held out of walkthroughs Tuesday and Wednesday, but he managed to participate in Thursday's practice in a limited capacity to give himself a chance to play in Saturday's AFC North showdown. If Jackson isn't cleared to play, then James Pierre would be the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Joey Porter.

Jackson (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Jackson suffered a back injury while making a tackle early in the second quarter. The veteran cornerback was active prior to his exit, tallying three tackles in just over a period of play. James Pierre entered the contest in Jackson's stead.

Jackson (back) is back in the game versus the Browns on Sunday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Jackson left the game briefly after hurting his back, but the injury was not serious enough to sideline him for the remainder of the matchup. He will resume his role as the team's top corner opposite Joey Porter.

Jackson recorded three tackles (three solo), an interception and a fumble recovery during Thursday's 24-19 loss at Cleveland. Jackson came up with his fourth interception of the season in Week 12, leaping in front of a third-down pass intended for Elijah Moore late in the fourth quarter. He also recovered a Cedric Tillman (concussion) fumble early in the third quarter. He'll have a tough assignment across from Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at Cincinnati in Week 13.
