According to ESPN NFL reporter, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has tested positive for COVID-19. Fitzpatrick is the second starter to test positive in the last three days and he joins quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

This puts Fitzpatrick’s status for this week’s game in jeopardy. The Steelers are traveling to Los Angeles this week to take on the Chargers and it would be a huge blow to an already-struggling defense to be without one of its top players.
