Minkah Fitzpatrick Tests Positive For COVID-19
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Fitzpatrick is now in danger of missing the team's Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Chargers unless he can return two negative tests within a 24-hour span and remain asymptomatic before Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is a big part of Pittsburgh's secondary, recording 64 tackles (44 solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble in nine games this season. Fitzpatrick is a four-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, so if the Steelers are missing both him and cornerback Joe Haden (foot) against the Chargers, they'll be vulnerable deep down the field. The Steelers could also be without All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt (hip, knee).
