Fitzpatrick secured his lone target for 34 yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to Houston. Fitzpatrick signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers in January, and he made a flashy play during Friday's preseason opener with a 34-yard reception in the second quarter, the team's second-longest play of the night. He spent the entire 2023 season on Pittsburgh's practice squad and faces an uphill battle to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster for the 2024 campaign, even after the Steelers lost Diontae Johnson, Allen Robinson and Miles Boykin during the offseason.
