Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick Put on NFI List with Wrist Injury Suffered Riding Bike

Fitzpatrick is on the non- football injury list.

Fitzpatrick was hurt when he fell off a bike, according to the head coach.

The star safety is dealing with some pain at the moment, but he doesn't expect it to be serious.

Any missed time could be devastating for Fitzpatrick, who is a key part of the top defense in the league.

He was acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins. After earning first-team All- Pro honors in each of the past two seasons, Pittsburgh gave up a 2020 first-round pick for Fitzpatrick.

The versatile player played in 30 regular-season games for Pittsburgh in the past year and a half. According to Pro Football Reference, he was the third most valuable defensive player in the league.

Fitzpatrick was the leader of the team with over 100 tackles in the year.

A major hole in Pittsburgh's secondary could be created by an injury, but Kazee can handle a bigger role until the squad is back to full strength.

The deadline for veterans was Tuesday. Their first padded practice is scheduled for August 1st.
