Minkah Fitzpatrick - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Out again in Week 3 Fitzpatrick (groin) won't play in Sunday's game versus Detroit, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fitzpatrick was injured in the 23-10 win over the Titans in Week 1. He didn't play in the 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers in Week 2, so he will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest. The veteran's next opportunity to get back on the field will come in Week 4 in Chicago. In the meantime, Andre Cisco is in line to make his second straight start.

Impact Fitzpatrick missed the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Packers with a groin injury that he is week-to-week with. The starting free safety has now missed four consecutive practices, and there is no sign the 29-year-old will return to the field this week. If Fitzpatrick must miss another game, Andre Cisco will likely be the starting free safety for the second consecutive game Sunday against the Lions.

DNP to open Week 2 prep Fitzpatrick (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Fitzpatrick left Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans due to a groin injury. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz on Tuesday, the veteran safety is expected to miss two-to-three weeks, so he's unlikely to play against the Packers on Sunday unless he manages to practice in at least a limited capacity this week. Andre Cisco figures to start alongside Dane Belton at safety for as long as Fitzpatrick is sidelined.

Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. 'week to week' with injuries

SEPTEMBER 16 • Associated Press

Expected to miss multiple weeks Fitzpatrick (groin) is expected to miss 2-3 weeks, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact Fitzpatrick suffered a groin injury during the 23-10 victory over the Titans in Week 1. For now, the 29-year-old should at least be considered doubtful for the Week 2 meeting with Green Bay, though he isn't expected to be back on the field until Week 4 versus the Bears, at the earliest. There's also a chance Fitzpatrick is added to the Injured Reserve list.
