Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Returns to practice Wednesday

Fitzpatrick (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Wednesday was the first time Fitzpatrick practiced since he sustained a knee injury in Week 15 at Indianapolis. If he's able to take another step forward and upgrade to a full practice Thursday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into Saturday's game.
