New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick returned to full practice following a groin injury that had sidelined him since the season opener. While the team faced various other injury concerns, coach Aaron Glenn indicated there was a “really good chance” Fitzpatrick would participate in the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears.

During the matchup against the Bears, Fitzpatrick ended a historic interception drought for the Jets. His second-quarter interception of quarterback Tyson Bagent broke a streak that spanned 636 pass attempts and 83 regulation quarters. This marked the first interception for the team since the end of the 2024 season.
