    Fitzpatrick totaled seven tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Fitzpatrick has recorded 14 tackles through the first two games of the season, which has him on pace to break 100 tackles for the second time in his eight-year NFL career. The 2018 first-round pick will have his hands full against the Chargers' receiving corps in Week 3.

  • Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Makes 10 appearances in 2023

    Fitzpatrick made 64 tackles (43 solo) and three pass breakups across 10 regular-season games in 2023. Fitzpatrick missed seven total games in 2023 due to a combination of knee and hand injuries, but he managed to return to health in time for Pittsburgh's wild-card playoff loss to the Bills, a game in which he logged 10 tackles (five solo). In just 10 regular-season appearances, five of Fitzpatrick's games saw him achieve double-digit tackle totals. The 27-year-old remains one of the league's true standout safeties, with big-play potential to lend him serious fantasy upside as well. Fitzpatrick has three years remaining on his contract with the Steelers.

  • Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Looking good for Sunday

    Fitzpatrick (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Fitzpatrick sat out of the Steelers' last three regular-season games due to a knee injury, but it now looks like he'll be ready to play in the wild-card round. He projects to start Sunday, and his presence dampens expectations for Josh Allen and Buffalo's offense somewhat.

    Fitzpatrick (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Fitzpatrick has missed Pittsburgh's last three games, and he was unable to practice all week, so it's not a surprise that the All-Pro safety won't suit up for Sunday's contest.

    Fitzpatrick compiled four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the 49ers.

  • Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Will play Sunday

    Fitzpatrick (ankle) is active Sunday against the Browns. Fitzpatrick closed out the week with a limited practice Friday, which set the stage for him to take the field Sunday.

  • Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Receives questionable tag

    Fitzpatrick (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. The star safety was sidelined for the Steelers' first two Week 18 practices, but his ability to put in a limited session Friday leaves the door open for him to play in the regular-season finale. Given that the Steelers can clinch a playoff berth with a win and losses by the Dolphins and Patriots this weekend, Fitzpatrick has some incentive to play through the injury at less than 100 percent health. He's played all but two of the Steelers' defensive snaps in each of the past seven games, totaling 41 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions during that stretch.

  • Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Sits out practice again Thursday

    Fitzpatrick (ankle) did not participate in the Steelers' practice Thursday. Fitzpatrick was forced out for three defensive snaps after he picked up an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Ravens. While the star safety has now sat out each of the first two practices during Week 18 prep, coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday the team is not "overly concerned" about the issue affecting his availability moving forward. Fitzpatrick will now have one more opportunity to increase his activity before the Steelers must assign him an official game status Friday ahead of the regular-season finale against Cleveland this Sunday.
