Inactives Report: Fitzpatrick Active, Mangold and Smith Out

While Ryan Fitzpatrick is active for today’s game, Bryce Petty will indeed get his first NFL start. Petty and Fitzpatrick split reps with the starters this week in practice, so Bowles likely knew his decision well before news broke last night. Fitzpatrick will backup Petty, and Hackenberg will remain on the bench. It’s a wise move to keep Hackenberg out, even with Fitzpatrick banged up. Nick Mangold will be out again after missing practice all week, leaving the offensive line hurting. Devin Smith was activated off the PUP list this week, but will have to wait to get his chance to contribute.
