The Browns signed FitzPatrick to the practice squad Tuesday.
FitzPatrick was cleared to resume football activities Sept. 19. The tight end has finally recovered from the Achilles tear he suffered in the Packers' Week 16 loss to the Bears and is ready to return to NFL play. The Browns saw the 26-year-old's 12 receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown over 15 regular-season games with the Packers in 2025 and quickly added the refreshed tight end to its 16-man practice squad.
