Pittsburgh Steelers head Coach Mike Tomlin provided some hope Tuesday regarding the status of star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, stating that the key defender is “improving” with his hamstring injury, and that the team was going to see what potential availability looked like for Week 10 later in the week against the Green Bay Packers.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers’ beat writer Gerry Dulac popped that optimism ballon Tuesday. In his weekly chat with readers, Dulac stated rather clearly that Fitzpatrick is not expected to play Sunday, responding to a reader who asked about the transparency of Tomlin when it comes to injuries.
