CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Minkah Fitzpatrick said Thursday he feels bad about the hit that injured Browns running back Nick Chubb but insisted it’s “part of football” and he’s not a dirty player.
The Pittsburgh safety said he admires Chubb’s game after facing him multiple times over the years and had a brief word with Chubb right after the play to assure him the hit wasn’t intentional.
Chubb, 27, is out for the season.
