Jets Rule Out Fitzpatrick for Packers Game Amid Historic Interception Drought
New York will be without former All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick due to a groin injury as the team continues its record-setting stretch without an interception.
The New York Jets will play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers without safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who has been ruled out with a groin injury, according to ESPN.
Fitzpatrick, a former All-Pro, is described by ESPN as the team's "most accomplished interceptor." His absence comes as the Jets are mired in what ESPN reported is the longest interception drought in NFL history.
ESPN did not specify in the report how long the drought has lasted or when it began, but characterized it as unprecedented for the league.
The Jets have not yet announced who will fill Fitzpatrick's role in the defensive backfield for the game against the Packers.
