The second-best player on the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is now out for the rest of the game. The team announced that safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is out with what is being called a chest injury.
Fitzpatrick was hurt early in the game after a collision with Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb. He returned to the game but was hurt again when he made a tackle on Cleveland running back Jerome Ford. We don’t know if the two injuries were related but you could see Fitzpatrick laboring to even get his breath on the sidelines before being taken back to the locker room.
