Former Bears All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson has been eying a comeback and got a tryout with the Steelers on Tuesday.
Jackson, 31, played for the Ravens and Chargers last season, but hasn’t been on a team since. He said this month he wanted to return to the NFL if he got an opportunity at legitimate playing time with a good team, specifically saying he’d join the Eagles “in a heartbeat.”
The Steelers are 4-3, and starting safety DeShon Elliott went down with a knee injury. They also worked out former Bengals safety Vonn Bell, who played all 17 games for Cincinnati last season.
