2023 was an injury-laden season for Minkah Fitzpatrick. A hamstring injury in Week 8 sidelined him for three weeks, and after returning for three games, he injured his knee, which kept him out for the final three games of the season. Although he is no longer the highest-rated safety in the NFL, Fitzpatrick is still expected to be a significant contributor to the Steelers' pass defense this season. Paired with Watt, the Steelers may once again have a dominant defense, one that has finished in the top 10 in points allowed per game for two consecutive years.

Logged an FP on Thursday meaning the Steelers star will return from a knee issue, hasn't suited up since 12/16 and has played sparingly due to an early season hamstring injury
