PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Named the Steelers MVP Friday, Minkah Fitzpatrick is questionable to play against the Browns due to an ankle injury. The Steelers safety was hurt late in the game against the Ravens on Sunday. He went through a limited practice on Friday.
There is another starter on defense that is questionable, linebacker Myles Jack has battled a groin injury for the last month. He was limited on Friday. Jack missed the game against the Ravens allowing Mark Robinson to make seven tackles in his first big opportunity.
Safety Tre Norwood is dealing with a hamstring injury and has been ruled out.
Corner Ahkello Witherspoon has been practicing the last two weeks and said he’s not ruling out being activated off injured reserve for Sunday’s game.
Najee Harris, Arthur Maulet, Diontae Johnson, Alex Highsmith, Kevin Dotson and Larry Ogunjobi all missed parts of practice this week, but all are cleared to play.
Big Brother
TJ Watt said he will race home after the game with Cleveland to watch his brother, JJ, play in his final NFL game as the Cardinals visit the 49ers.
“To be able to watch live one last time my brother play is something I will miss very much,” said TJ Watt. “I am looking forward to see him play. It’s a hell of a career. A great friend, great mentor, great brother. I can’t say enough good things about my brother.”
