Minkah Fitzpatrick, who went down with a knee injury in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts, has been ruled out for Saturday’s game.
Tomlin said, via today’s press conference, that he doesn’t know how long Fitzpatrick’s current injury will keep him out.
Fitzpatrick was already dealing with a broken hand and has played just 147 defensive snaps since he returned in Week 12 from four weeks sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The seven-year veteran has had an unusally quiet season with three defended passes and 64 tackles in 10 games.
