Minkah Fitzpatrick Released From Hospital, Should Be Fine

one year ago

Pittsburgh Steelers star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (chest) was released from the hospital on Monday night after undergoing precautionary scans for what is believed to be a chest contusion, according to sources. The scans came back negative and there's optimism that he will be fine moving forward. Fitzpatrick was injured in Monday night's win over the Cleveland Browns, and although he appears to have a avoided a serious injury, it doesn't mean he'll be back in action in Week 3 on a short week to face the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. Fantasy managers that have the 26-year-old rostered in IDP leagues should expect him to miss some practice time this week at the very least. If Fitzpatrick is unable to play in Week 3, Elijah Riley would likely start in the secondary.
