Returns to full practice Hilton (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Impact Hilton is on track to return Sunday against Jacksonville after missing Pittsburgh's last four games. If the cornerback doesn't suffer any setbacks in practice this week, he should make a Steelers defense that's allowing only 19.0 points per game even tougher to score against.

Slated to return Sunday Hilton (shoulder) is expected to return for this Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Impact Hilton has missed the last four games despite logging two full weeks of limited or full practices, and coach Mike Tomlin said he has "extreme optimism" that the cornerback will be cleared for Week 11. The 26-year-old gave up 167 passing yards in coverage through the first five games, but he makes the defense even more versatile, as he added three sacks and an interception in that stretch as well.

Questionable after limited practice Hilton (shoulder) was limited in practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Impact Hilton was able to practice fully earlier this week, but it appears that the shoulder injury that has kept him off the field since Week 6 is still bothering him to some extent. The cornerback had been off to a tremendous start before getting hurt, with 29 tackles, three sacks and an interception in four games played.
