Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Racks up 10 tackles in Week 7 defeat
Fitzpatrick posted 10 tackles (six solo) Sunday in a loss to Miami.
Fitzpatrick's 10 stops led New York and marked his second double-digit tackle effort of the campaign. After missing Weeks 2 and 3 due to a groin injury, Fitzpatrick has logged every Jets defensive snap in four straight games as a stalwart of the team's secondary. The veteran safety has tallied 36 tackles and two defensed passes, including one interception, through five games during his first season with New York.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Breaks Jets' interception drought
Fitzpatrick recorded 16 tackles (eight solo) and an interception during the Jets' 23-12 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Fitzpatrick's interception during Sunday's loss was the Jets' first since the start of the 2025 regular season, coinciding with the start of Aaron Glenn's head coaching tenure with the franchise, and the pick led to a 36-yard field goal by Jason Sanders midway in the second quarter. Fitzpatrick and three other Jets players played a whopping 93 defensive snaps due to the fact that the Bears finished with a 42:45 time of possession. Given the large workload in Week 4, coupled with the fact that Fitzpatrick missed the Jets' two prior games due to a groin injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see the veteran safety's practice participation limited ahead of the team's Week 5 home tilt against the Browns.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Practices in full Thursday
Fitzpatrick (groin) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Fitzpatrick appears set to return to his starting safety role after missing the last two games due to his groin injury. The fact Fitzpatrick will seemingly be available to slot in alongside Dane Belton will help the Jets' quest to slow down an aggressive Ben Johnson offense at Soldier Field in the Week 4 matchup against the Bears on Sunday.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Limited Wednesday
Coach Aaron Glenn said Fitzpatrick (groin) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
After missing back-to-back games in Weeks 2 and 3, Fitzpatrick has a decent shot at returning for Sunday's game against the Bears. Dane Belton and Andre Cisco have been manning the safety spots for the Jets with Fitzpatrick sidelined.

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

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Fitzpatrick (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
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.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Ruled out for Week 2
Fitzpatrick (groin) will not play in Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
It was reported Tuesday that Fitzpatrick was expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks, so his absence against the Packers isn't much of a surprise. While Fitzpatrick remains on the shelf, Andre Cisco is expected to take his place and start alongside Dane Belton.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: DNP to open Week 2 prep
Fitzpatrick (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
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' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Expected to miss multiple weeks
Fitzpatrick (groin) is expected to miss two to three weeks, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
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.
