Despite safety Minkah Fitzpatrick being activated off the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing negative, the Steelers’ defense will still not be at full strength in the secondary for tomorrow’s game against the Bengals.
The Steelers announced cornerback Joe Haden has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game in Cincinnati. Haden, who suffered an injury against the Lions a couple weeks ago, hasn’t been able to practice and will miss another game.

Kickoff for Pittsburgh’s pivotal matchup with the Bengals is scheduled for 1 pm.
