The Pittsburgh Steelers got things done on the scoreboard last night, defeating the Cleveland Browns for their first victory of 2023 and ensuring that they won't be falling into an 0-2 hole. However, they suffered one critical loss that wasn't on the scoresheet.
Three-time Pro Bowler Minkah Fitzpatrick departed the game with what was being described as a chest injury, and was being evaluated at the hospital, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The good news is that he's been released after tests for a chest contusion turned out negative.
Take a look at the play in which Fitzpatrick suffered his injury, which took place in the 3rd quarter:
The Steelers have already lost Cam Heyward for an extended period of time, and could ill afford to lose another key player on the defensive side of the ball. Thankfully, he appears to be no worse for wear and can get to work in helping the Steelers continue preparations for their next game.
