Fitzpatrick's Return Brings New Questions for Jets' Secondary

The New York Jets' secondary has been a surprise story so far this season, ranking third in passing yards allowed and second-best in total yards allowed after three games. With All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick returning from a groin injury, the team is looking to solidify their defensive backfield.

Fitzpatrick's return brings new questions about who will be the group's third safety, as Andre Cisco and Dane Belton have played well in his absence. Defensive coordinator Brian Duker expressed excitement over Fitzpatrick's return, saying he 'showed kind of who he is as a player throughout his career.'

The Jets' secondary has been successful despite Fitzpatrick's injury, with Cisco and Belton currently ranking 30th and 32nd among safeties on Pro Football Focus. Their success allows head coach Aaron Glenn to operate his scheme more effectively, particularly against the Bears' frequent use of 11 personnel.

Fitzpatrick's return adds another leader to the defense, making it a key factor in the team's chances as a road underdog against the Bears on Sunday.
