Najee Harris has knee discomfort. Says it won't affect his game participation.
Tomlin says Minkah Fitzpatrick wanted to play vs. Saints, says they're optimistic about him vs. Bengals.
Fitzpatrick missed Sunday's win due to an emergency appendectomy the day before the game. He also missed a Week 6 16-13 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a knee injury.
Fitzpatrick is a leader on a Steelers defense trying to stay alive in the AFC. After Watt and perhaps defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, the two-time All-Pro is likely the team's most crucial defender. He has hauled in three interceptions and broken up six passes for the Steelers this season.
At 3-6, the Steelers can still play spoiler in the AFC North with a win over the Bengals this Sunday. They already beat the Bengals on the road in the season opener, and they have two games remaining against the Baltimore Ravens. If the Steelers can hit their stride, they could even position themselves with a shot at the division if they can put themselves in a favorable tiebreaking situation.
