Last night following the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac shared on Twitter what he has been told of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ thinking behind the trade. He wrote that Sean Davis, their starting free safety, has suffered a torn labrum, which occurred on Monday, presumably during a tackle attempt on Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf.
Davis also suffered a torn labrum during his rookie season in 2016 against the Philadelphia Eagles; however, he only missed one game, and played the rest of the season through the injury.
