Fitzpatrick signed a Futures contract with the team after the 2022 season and was carried on the Steelers’ offseason roster. He impressed in training camp and shined on special teams during the preseason as an excellent gunner and coverage player. Cut as the team trimmed their roster to 53, he signed to the practice squad. The team signed him to the 53-man roster earlier this year following WR Diontae Johnson’s injury.
