Minkah Fitzpatrick

Recently acquired Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is receiving a revised deal that adds a $16.245 million signing bonus, providing the five-time Pro Bowler additional security.

Fantasy Impact

Following the trade, Fitzpatrick had no guarantees left on his contract, which was set to expire following the 2026-27 season. As a result, Miami demonstrated its commitment to its newest safety, offering him a higher upfront salary as he looks to thrive in the post-Jalen Ramsey defense. No years were added to his deal, though an extension could be a key talking point next offseason.

The Steelers traded Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins as part of a package deal.

Fantasy Impact

Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith went back to Pittsburgh in the trade. Fitzpatrick heads back to the team that drafted him. He'll add immediate experience in the secondary for the Dolphins, though they also lose Ramsey in the deal.

Minkah Fitzpatrick will not play in the Steelers preseason opener on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Fitzpatrick is among multiple Pittsburgh starters who will not play against the Texans on Friday. Given how early it is in the preseason, this is not surprising. Fitzpatrick may see some later preseason work, but his presence is not vital in the opener.

Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick is officially off the injury report and will play Monday vs. Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact

Fitzpatrick has been out since Week 15, but his limited practice sessions earlier this week are at least encouraging for his status entering Saturday's matchup with the Ravens. In a must-win scenario, the Steelers certainly want the three-time All Pro to take the field if at all possible.
