Teryl Austin Says Minkah Fitzpatrick, Keanu Neal’s Availability Will ‘Go Down To Game Time’

While DC Teryl Austin isn’t in charge of deciding who will be healthy enough to play against the Cleveland Browns’ offense this Sunday, he thinks two of the team’s safeties will be gametime decisions. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Austin said Minkah Fitzpatrick and Keanu Neal’s availabiilty won’t be known until late in the week, potentially not until shortly before kickoff.

“I think those are gonna go down to game time,” Austin said of Fitzpatrick and Neal via team-provided audio. “As we get closer to game, we’ll see.”

Fitzpatrick has been out with a hamstring injury since Week Eight, hurt early in the team’s loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
