PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson returned to practice on Thursday, giving the team five of its six injured players in uniform for the final session before the club visits the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.

Jackson, who missed the first two practices of the week with a back injury, was doing ball security drills with the defensive backs, including fellow injury recoverer DeShon Elliott (hamstring).

T.J. Watt also took another step forward in his rehab from an ankle injury. He participated in drills with the rest of the team’s outside linebackers, albeit at less than full speed. Watt was listed as limited in practice on Thursday, but worked only with team trainers.

Wide receiver George Pickens was not with the wide receivers while they worked ball security, but he was running by himself off to the side.
