With Jets Still in NFL Record-INT Drought, Minkah Fitzpatrick Hopes to Return From Groin Injury
Aaron Glenn said Fitzpatrick upgraded to full practice participation after a groin injury and could bolster a Jets secondary that has already used a fill-in starter.
- New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Thursday that Minkah Fitzpatrick has a "really good chance" to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears after practicing fully.
- Fitzpatrick suffered a groin injury during Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans on September 13, when he went down defending Carnell Tate near the sideline on the sixth play.
- New York signed the three-time All-Pro to a three-year, $40 million contract extension in March, tasking him with helping end an NFL-record 20-game interception drought.
- Offensive coordinator Frank Reich praised wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who is off to a "terrific start" with 243 yards, ranking in the top 10 in the NFL.
- Fitzpatrick credited the training staff for his recovery, emphasizing that staying mentally "locked in" remained essential despite frustration from the injury sidelining him for two weeks.
