Productive during 2022 campaign
Published: 2023-01-11
Fitzpatrick logged 96 tackles (56 solo), six interceptions, 11 pass defenses and a touchdown over 15 games during the 2022 season.
Last season, Fitzpatrick matched the second-lowest mark of his career with two interceptions, but he bounced back with a career-high six interceptions in 2022 while nearly posting 100 tackles. The 26-year-old had double-digit tackles on three occasions this year and should remain a prominent member of the Steelers' secondary in 2023 since he signed a four-year, $73.6 million deal with Pittsburgh in June of 2022.

Will play Sunday
Published: 2023-01-08
Fitzpatrick (ankle) is active Sunday against the Browns.
Fitzpatrick closed out the week with a limited practice Friday, which set the stage for him to take the field Sunday. The star safety's ability to suit up is certainly good news for the Steelers, as they look to increase their chances for a playoff spot with a win against Cleveland.
Receives questionable tag
Published: 2023-01-06
Fitzpatrick (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
The star safety was sidelined for the Steelers' first two Week 18 practices, but his ability to put in a limited session Friday leaves the door open for him to play in the regular-season finale. Given that the Steelers can clinch a playoff berth with a win and losses by the Dolphins and Patriots this weekend, Fitzpatrick has some incentive to play through the injury at less than 100 percent health. He's played all but two of the Steelers' defensive snaps in each of the past seven games, totaling 41 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions during that stretch.
Sits out practice again Thursday
Published: 2023-01-05
Fitzpatrick (ankle) did not participate in the Steelers' practice Thursday.
Fitzpatrick was forced out for three defensive snaps after he picked up an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Ravens. While the star safety has now sat out each of the first two practices during Week 18 prep, coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday the team is not "overly concerned" about the issue affecting his availability moving forward. Fitzpatrick will now have one more opportunity to increase his activity before the Steelers must assign him an official game status Friday ahead of the regular-season finale against Cleveland this Sunday.
Picks off pass in Week 17
Published: 2023-01-04
Fitzpatrick tallied nine tackles (four solo) and one interception during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Ravens.
Fitzpatrick tied Robert Spillane with a team-high nine tackles and picked off his sixth pass of the season, setting a new career high. The 2018 first-round pick will look to maintain his strong play against the Browns in Week 18.
