On the day T.J. Watt was activated from injured reserve, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for several weeks after he had an appendix removed.
A source said that Fitzpatrick needed to have his appendix removed as soon as possible because he wasn't feeling well at practice. Fitzpatrick was going to be out of the game against the Saints with an illness.
Fitzpatrick is expected to make it back as quickly as possible, but he will most likely be out for a long time.
Before the start of training camp, the Cincinnati quarterback had an appendix removed and was out for 212 weeks.
Sources say that Fitzpatrick is not expected to be ready to play next week. The safety's recovery will determine if Fitzpatrick can come back the following Monday night.
The safety was activated from the injured reserve. The practice squad player was activated for the game.
