‘That’s How We Love Each Other Sometimes’: Minkah Fitzpatrick Downplays Locker Room Spat With Diontae Johnson

Though Minkah Fitzpatrick hasn’t been on the field since the first quarter of the Week Eight loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, he’s been pretty busy off the field.

There was helping defensive coordinator Teryl Austin get into the right look against the Green Bay Packers on the final play, leading to the game-sealing interception from fellow safety Damontae Kazee, and then there was the reported spat in the locker room following the Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns with wide receiver Diontae Johnson.

Now, just a few days away from returning to the lineup for the first time in four games, Fitzpatrick spoke to the media Friday and addressed the argument with Johnson, downplaying the incident as something brothers do, echoing Johnson’s comments.
