Minkah Fitzpatrick suffers minor injury in bike accident

Minkah Fitzpatrick suffers wrist injury in bike accident weeks before the start of the 2022 season.

Former Crimson Tide standout and Pittsburgh Steeler All-Pro safety, [autotag]Minkah Fitzpatrick[/autotag], will be unavailable for the start of mini-camp due to an injury he suffered while biking on vacation this off-season.

The injury is not believed to be serious, but it has provided some discomfort that will hold him out. With the season just around the corner, they will need Fitzpatrick to be ready for the Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fitzpatrick recently inked a four-year $73.6 million deal with Pittsburgh to stay in the Steel City, so they will be as cautious with him as possible. Fitzpatrick was the cornerstone price of the Steeler’s defense in 2021 alongside NFL Defensive Player of the Year, T.J. Watt. In 16 starts, Fitzpatrick accounted for 124 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes deflected.

Report: Romeo Langford out for season with successful wrist surgery

Boston Celtics wing Romeo Langford’s injury-riddled rookie season has ended with him having had successful surgery on his injured wrist, per the team.

The Boston Celtics have announced that rookie shooting guard Romeo Langford has had successful surgery to repair the scapholunate ligament in his right wrist.

Langford will miss the rest of the 2019-20 NBA season after having had the surgery, an injury he sustained at the end of the Celtics series of seeding games in the Disney bubble restart, versus the Washington Wizards on August 13th.

The Indiana product hadn’t been playing much since the first round series against the Philadelphia 76ers, but recently injured himself just seconds into his first minutes against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

That injury — an adductor strain — may have been the deciding factor in shutting down the first-year player, whose rookie season was plagued with a host of minor injuries.

Despite the litany of dings, the Indiana native managed to put together a solid rookie season, demonstrating he is already capable of contributing as a rotation player with strong defensive skills, averaging 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
