The Pittsburgh Steelers could be getting a key piece of their defense back next week against the Arizona Cardinals with the return of Minkah Fitzpatrick. Safety Damontae Kazee said postgame that Fitzpatrick is coming back ahead of Pittsburgh’s Week 13 matchup, via Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“Shoot, we know Minkah comes back this week,” Kazee said, per Batko. “A lot of us ain’t gonna be playing in those spots.”
Fitzpatrick has missed four games after injuring his groin during Pittsburgh’s Week Eight win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Originally, Kazee and Keanu Neal filled in at safety, but Neal suffered an injury at the end of Pittsburgh’s Week 10 win over the Green Bay Packers, leading Trenton Thompson to step in.
