Per the report, precautionary scans for what
was believed to be a chest contusion came back negative.
Fitzpatrick initially was injured on the same play that
sidelined Browns running back Nick Chubb in the second quarter
of the Steelers' 26-22 victory. Fitzpatrick returned to the game
before being injured in the third quarter while making a tackle
on a 69-yard run by Cleveland running back Jerome Ford.
Fitzpatrick, 26, has recorded 10 tackles and two pass
deflections in two games (both starts) this season.
A three-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection,
Fitzpatrick has 458 tackles, 19 interceptions, 49 passed
defensed, four forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and five
touchdowns in 81 career games (76 starts) with the Miami
Dolphins (2018-19) and Steelers.
The Steelers (1-1) will face the Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday
night.
