The Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision on Friday to leave safety Minkah Fitzpatrick off the game status list at the end of the week of practices, an indication that they expect him to play just a week after having an emergency appendectomy.
But it’s still not guaranteed that he will play. It’s not even guaranteed that they won’t update the injury report with a status designation for Fitzpatrick. I think almost everybody expected him to be listed as Questionable for the game and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that does happen.
But for now all we can do is assume that he’s going to play.
