Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick ruled out with chest injury

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers were without star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for the final quarter and a half of Monday night's 26-22 win against the Cleveland Browns.

After chasing down and making a diving, shoestring tackle of running back Jerome Ford on the end of his 69-yard run at the goal line, Fitzpatrick left the field. He was taken to the locker room and evaluated for a chest injury before being downgraded to out.

Fitzpatrick was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated for the chest injury, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after the game.
