FitzPatrick (back) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. FitzPatrick was estimated as a full practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, suggesting he's recovered from his back injury in time to face Detroit on Thursday night. The Georgia product is expected to see minimal offensive work and serve as the Packers' No. 3 tight end in Week 14, playing behind Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims.
FitzPatrick (back) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. FitzPatrick played through a back injury in the Packers' Week 13 over the Dolphins this past Thursday, finishing with one catch for two yards while playing 18 snaps (14 on offense, four on special teams). He was limited in Monday's practice, but after logging a full session Tuesday he should be good to go for Thursday's NFC North clash against the Lions.
FitzPatrick (back) was a limited participant in Monday's practice. The 24-year-old was active for the Packers' Week 13 win over the Dolphins after being listed as questionable due to a back injury. Monday's injury report indicates that FitzPatrick is still dealing with the issue in some capacity, and he could be in jeopardy of missing Green Bay's divisional matchup against the Lions on Thursday night if he downgrades to no participation Tuesday or Wednesday.
FitzPatrick (back) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. FitzPatrick was in danger of missing Thursday's game after logging consecutive DNPs to open the week, but he will be active after participating in Wednesday's walkthrough in a limited capacity. FitzPatrick will serve as the Packers' No. 3 tight end behind Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims.
FitzPatrick (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Dolphins, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. FitzPatrick was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, keeping his chances alive to suit up Thursday night. The third-year pro from Georgia has seen minimal offensive work this season, appearing in four games and catching his lone target for two yards. If he's unavailable in Week 13, Green Bay's tight end room will likely consist of Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims.
FitzPatrick (back) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. FitzPatrick has logged consecutive DNPs to open the week, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday in order to have a chance at playing Thursday against the Dolphins. The 2022 sixth-round pick played 18 snaps (14 on offense, four on special teams) during the Packers' 38-10 win over the 49ers this past Sunday and hauled in his lone target for two yards.
FitzPatrick (coach's decision) is listed as inactive ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official website reports. Green Bay will roll with Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims as its only two active tight ends. FitzPatrick landed in Green Bay prior to Week 6 after Luke Musgrave (ankle) was placed on injured reserve, but he has yet to suit up.
FitzPatrick (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Arizona. The Packers signed FitzPatrick off Atlanta's practice squad Thursday, but the tight end isn't yet ready to suit up for his new club. Green Bay will enter Sunday's contest with Tucker Kraft leading the tight-end corps, with Ben Sims working behind him. Luke Musgrave (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday, so FitzPatrick could be active next Sunday when the Packers take on Houston.
The Packers signed Fitzpatrick off the Falcons' practice squad and to their active roster Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. FitzPatrick will bolster Green Bay's depth at tight end while Luke Musgrave continues to tend to an ankle injury. The former was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by Atlanta but didn't appear in a game for the team until 2023, when he suited up nine times, catching his only target for a 12-yard gain.
