It’s been a bit curious that safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has been largely limited in practice the last three days and hasn’t been included in any injury report updates, raising some concerns that something is going on.
According to head coach Mike Tomlin, nothing is going on with Fitzpatrick from a health standpoint. Instead, the Steelers are minimizing Fitzpatrick’s participation in team 11-on-11 sessions to get good looks at other safeties, including DeShon Elliott, Damontae Kazee, rookie Ryan Watts, Nate Meador and veteran cornerback Cameron Sutton getting some work at safety.
ESPN’s Brooke Pryor tweeted the comments from Tomlin regarding Fitzpatrick just now.
