The Pittsburgh Steelers decided not to place S Minkah Fitzpatrick on the Reserve/Injured List, hopeful that he would be able to return without needing to miss the full four games that would have been required had they done so.
He’s only missed two games so far, and there is as yet no indication for his status next week, but he still managed to put his stamp on Sunday’s victory over the Green Bay Packers. According to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, he essentially called the play that won the game—or at least strongly suggested it.
“Me and [defensive backs coach Grady Brown] talked [defensive coordinator Teryl Austin] into changing it”, he said of the final play of the game, which ended with a Damontae Kazee interception.
