Minkah Fitzpatrick underwent an appendectomy five days ago.
Yet, somehow, he actually has a chance to suit up when the Steelers host the Bengals on Sunday afternoon at Acrisure Stadium. And, those chances only went up when he returned as a full participant in Thursday's practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
"We're going to find out Sunday," Fitzpatrick said Thursday. "It's just something I've gotta take day to day. Something I definitely don't want to rush back from. We'll see how I feel Sunday."
