Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick expects to play against the Arizona Cardinals after missing four games due to a hamstring injury. Fitzpatrick has been a full participant in practice all week and feels great. He emphasized the importance of being patient with his recovery and not rushing back until he's 100%. In his absence, the Steelers utilized various defensive backs, including Trenton Thompson and Patrick Peterson, who helped the team go 3-1 without Fitzpatrick. The defense has improved in the last three weeks, holding opponents to fewer yards and establishing a top-5 rushing defense.
