In the Monday Night Football battle against the Cleveland Browns, it almost looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers could be without two of their defensive stars for a while. With defensive tackle Cam Heyward already on IR and likely out eight weeks, the team could not afford to lose safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for any considerable time. Yet early in the second half, he was reportedly being evaluated for a chest injury and questionable to return. Only five minutes later, he was ruled out for the rest of the game.
In his postgame media session, Head Coach Mike Tomlin revealed that Fitzpatrick was being evaluated at a local hospital for a chest injury.
