Early in Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Acrisure Stadium, it was a concerning sight seeing Pittsburgh Steelers star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick face down on the turf, clutching at his hamstring.
Fitzpatrick, who has missed just one game in his Steelers career, left the game and was quickly ruled out, which put his status for the Week Nine matchup on Thursday Night Football in jeopardy. Head Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Monday during his press conference with the media that Fitzpatrick will be out Thursday night against the Titans.
Without Fitzpatrick, that creates a gaping hole in the secondary and defense overall.
