Packers' John FitzPatrick: Finishes without target
FitzPatrick was not targeted in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.
FitzPatrick played 18 snaps in Week 9 but did not have a pass thrown his direction for the third time in five games. He will likely be more involved moving forward with fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, but just how much remains to be seen, and he presumably remains the second option at his position behind Luke Musgrave.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Notches short reception in win
FitzPatrick corralled his lone target for a four-yard reception Sunday in the Packers' 35-25 win over the Steelers.
FitzPatrick took the field for 22 of the Packers' 64 offensive snaps, with his 34 percent share placing him ahead of Luke Musgrave (19 percent) for second among the team's tight ends. Starter Tucker Kraft continued to lead the way in both playing time (59 snaps) and production (7-143-2 receiving line on nine targets) by a healthy margin, and so long as Kraft stays healthy, FitzPatrick won't have much of an opportunity to see his role on offense expand.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: All set for Week 4
FitzPatrick (groin) was a full participant at practice Friday, Aaron Nagler of Cheesehead TV reports.
FitzPatrick was limited at practice to open the week due to an apparent groin issue, but he now appears to be a full go for Sunday Night Football in Dallas. The tight end has caught all three of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown over three games this season.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Limited at practice
FitzPatrick (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
FitzPatrick reeled in two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in the team's 13-10 loss to the Browns in Week 3, but he may have suffered a groin injury in the game. The tight end's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to practice in full ahead of Sunday night's contest in Dallas.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Tallies first touchdown
FitzPatrick was targeted twice and caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.
Starting tight end Tucker Kraft filled his usual role in Week 3 despite picking up a minor knee in practice Thursday, but FitzPatrick still managed to find the end zone for the first time as a professional. FitzPatrick and Luke Musgrave have split backup snaps behind Kraft relatively evenly so far.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Fills third tight end spot
FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for two yards in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
FitzPatrick was activated rather than fellow tight end Ben Sims and served as the third option at his position behind Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave. FitzPatrick played only two fewer snaps than Musgrave, but chances are he will remain in a bit role as long as the two players ahead of him are available.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Returns to Green Bay
The Packers signed FitzPatrick to a contract on Monday, NFL.com reports.
FitzPatrick entered the offseason as a restricted free agent but wasn't tendered by Green Bay, and he now re-signs with the team. Across nine regular-season appearances with the Packers in 2024, the tight end secured his only target for two yards. He contributed as a blocker on the majority of his 69 offensive snaps.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Fits in with Green Bay
FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for two yards across nine games in the 2024 regular season.
FitzPatrick got some opportunities after being scooped off Atlanta's practice squad in October, but he wound up playing only 69 snaps on offense and was an afterthought in the passing game. It remains to be seen if Green Bay will retain FitzPatrick over the offseason, but if it does, he will compete for a roster spot during training camp.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Ready for Thursday night
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.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Appears past back injury
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.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Still nursing back injury
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.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Will play Thursday
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.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Could play in Week 13
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.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Doesn't practice Tuesday
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.

Packers' John FitzPatrick: Inactive again
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.
