A chest injury and hospital trip isn’t keeping Minkah Fitzpatrick out of the lineup. In his first media appearance since Monday night’s win over the Cleveland Browns, a game he didn’t finish due to a chest injury, Fitzpatrick told reporters he’s playing in Sunday night’s Week Three game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo, Fitzpatrick says he has a chest bruise.
