Fitzpatrick clears concussion protocol, good to go vs. Jets

Minkah Fitzpatrick has been cleared from the concussion protocol, and is without any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Fitzpatrick entered the concussion protocol after undergoing evaluation following the 29-17 loss to the Browns. The Steelers' star safety was a full participant during all three days of practice this week at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.

Generally, a complete week of full participation would automatically green light a player to suit up for the upcoming game. However, Fitzpatrick needed to be officially cleared from the concussion protocol by the Steelers before he can step on the field at Acrisure Stadium.
