Stats not availableMakes 53-man roster
The Falcons have opted to carry four tight ends on their 53-man roster including FitzPatrick, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports
FitzPatrick missed his entire rookie campaign in 2022 due to reoccurring foot issues. He ultimately overcame two surgeries and returned in time for OTAs in June. The big-bodied tight end does not project a ton of fantasy value, as he is primarily seen as a blocking option for Atlanta's run-heavy offense. S
Returns to OTAs
FitzPatrick (undisclosed) was spotted participating in team drills last Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
After missing the entire 2022 NFL season with an undisclosed injury, the big-bodied tight end is back on the field with no restrictions. FitzPatrick was a 2022 sixth-round pick by Atlanta and is expected to compete with Feleipe Franks and Parker Hesse for a depth role on the 53-man roster.
