Though the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to get back one defensive star in T.J. Watt, they are likely to be without another. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, FS Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to miss the game due to appendicitis.
Here’s what Rapoport tweeted a few moments ago.

It’s most likely Tre Norwood will replace Fitzpatrick. This issue must have occurred over the last 24 hours. Fitzpatrick was not part of the Steelers final injury report.
