The Pittsburgh Steelers spent a buttload of money on an unusual-for-them timetable to get All-Pro free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick taken care of long-term earlier this offseason, signing him to a new contract extension that made him the highest-paid safety in the history of the game.
Getting a big, fat, signing bonus didn’t keep him safe while riding a bicycle during the break ahead of training camp, however, which resulted in him injuring his wrist and spending the first couple of weeks on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List.
The fifth-year veteran was back in nearly-full action yesterday, however, which included his first participation in live tackling drills, something he got plenty of practice with during the regular season last year.
