Minkah Fitzpatrick Latest News
Workhorse in 2024

Fitzpatrick played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 96 tackles (62 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble. Fitzpatrick missed seven of the final 10 games of the 2023 regular season due to knee and hand injuries, but the veteran safety was able to avoid injury in 2024 while playing every single snap in 14 of 17 games in 2024. He was four tackles shy from registering the second 100-tackle season of his seven-year NFL career and finished on the Steelers in that category behind Patrick Queen (129) and DeShon Elliott (108). Fitzpatrick has two years left on his four-year, $73.6 million contract that he signed in June of 2022.
Leading tackler in win

Fitzpatrick recorded seven total tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' 29-10 loss to the Chiefs on Wednesday. Fitzpatrick tied Patrick Queen as Pittsburgh's leading tackler in Wednesday's Christmas Day loss, bringing his season total to 93. The Alabama product has also accumulated four passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble while appearing in all 16 of the Steelers' games this season. He's expected to remain one of Pittsburgh's defensive leaders and top playmakers when the Steelers face the Bengals in Week 18.
Logs first INT of 2024

Fitzpatrick tallied six tackles (two solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during the Steelers' 34-17 loss to the Ravens. Fitzpatrick picked off a Lamar Jackson pass intended for Rashod Bateman early in the fourth quarter. It was Fitzpatrick's first regular-season interception since Week 17 of the 2022 campaign, also against Baltimore. Fitzpatrick has played every single defensive snap in eight straight games and has done so in 12 of 15 regular-season games. The 2018 first-round pick is up to 86 tackles (54 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble on the year. He'll look to eclipse the 100-tackle milestone for the second time in his eight-year NFL career Wednesday against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Totals seven stops

Fitzpatrick tallied seven tackles (four solo) during Pittsburgh's win over Baltimore on Sunday. Fitzpatrick finished second on the team in tackles during Sunday's victory behind Patrick Queen's 10. This was just the first time since the team's Week 5 loss to Dallas that Fitzpatrick recorded four or more tackles in a game, and he'll look to build off this solid performance in the team's Week 12 matchup against Cleveland.
Leads Steelers with 10 tackles

Fitzpatrick tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. Sunday was the first time this year that Fitzpatrick reached double-digit tackles while playing a season-high 74 snaps on defense. The 2018 first-round pick is up to 35 tackles (26 solo) and one pass defended through the first five games of the regular season.
Nine tackles vs. Indy

Fitzpatrick totaled nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts. Fitzpatrick logged the second-most tackles for the Steelers on Sunday behind starting strong safety DeShon Elliot (12). After missing seven regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple injuries, Fitzpatrick has played every single defensive snap through the first four games of 2024, and over that span he's recorded 25 tackles (18 solo).
Logs seven tackles vs. Denver

Fitzpatrick totaled seven tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos on Sunday. Fitzpatrick was the second-leading scorer for the Steelers on Sunday behind strong safety DeShon Elliott, and the duo played a large part in limiting the Broncos to just nine points and zero touchdowns. Fitzpatrick has recorded 14 tackles through the first two games of the season, which has him on pace to break 100 tackles for the second time in his eight-year NFL career. The 2018 first-round pick will have his hands full against the Chargers' receiving corps in Week 3.
Returning to more comfortable role

Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said at mandatory minicamp Wednesday that he "failed" to put Fitzpatrick "in the best position" during the 2023 season and intends for him to play more at free safety going forward, Joe Clark of Steelers Depot reports. Fizpatrick played a career-high 134 snaps in the slot last season despite appearing in just 10 games, per Clark, and his 161 snaps at box safety were the second-highest tally of his career. That heavily intruded on Fitzpatrick's ability to suit up at free safety, where his talents best shine, resulting in his first year without a single turnover. Fitzpatrick said he hopes to get back to playing "Minkah Ball" in 2024, and getting the 2018 first-round pick back to a deep safety role could allow him to return to his four-time Pro Bowler form. The addition of DeShon Elliott in free agency should facilitate that plan.
Makes 10 appearances in 2023

Fitzpatrick made 64 tackles (43 solo) and three pass breakups across 10 regular-season games in 2023. Fitzpatrick missed seven total games in 2023 due to a combination of knee and hand injuries, but he managed to return to health in time for Pittsburgh's wild-card playoff loss to the Bills, a game in which he logged 10 tackles (five solo). In just 10 regular-season appearances, five of Fitzpatrick's games saw him achieve double-digit tackle totals. The 27-year-old remains one of the league's true standout safeties, with big-play potential to lend him serious fantasy upside as well. Fitzpatrick has three years remaining on his contract with the Steelers.
