Joins Chargers' practice squad
Fitzpatrick signed with the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Fitzpatrick failed to make the Steelers' initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's found a new home on the Chargers' practice squad. The 26-year-old's last regular-season action came in 2023 with the Steelers, appearing in one game and recording no stats on three special-teams snaps.

Fitzpatrick was a fourth-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, though he failed to make the Titans out of camp and was stashed on their practice squad until Week 10. Even once he was on the ac-tive roster, he was inactive for several games and concluded his rookie campaign with the only five catches for 49 yards and a touchdown. An overhaul of the team's receiving corps will give Fitzpatrick a second chance to catch on with the offense in 2022, but he'll be hard-pressed to maintain a sig-nificant role without an injury to Robert Woods, Treylon Burks or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Needs to make improvements
Coach Mike Vrabel said Fitzpatrick, who was added to the Titans' practice squad after being waived, needs to show more consistency.
ANALYSIS
Vrabel said the rookie fourth-round pick needs to display "willingness to play without the football in your hand." It was something of a surprise to see Tennessee risk Fitzpatrick being claimed on waivers after having just invested fourth-round draft capital in him, but it appears that he isn't yet close to earning a role on offense. Vrabel said the team will continue to develop Fitzpatrick and "see where it all goes as the season unfolds."
