Minkah Fitzpatrick will begin Steelers training camp on the non-football injury list after he fell off a bike while on vacation and injured his wrist, according to Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin.
Fitzpatrick’s injury is not expected to be a serious one. But, Tomlin said it will bring some short term discomfort for the Steelers’ star.
In June, Fitzpatrick signed a four-year contract extension worth more than $73.6 million, making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history. Fitzpatrick is expected to net a guaranteed $36 million and earn $18.4 million per year.
