Fitzpatrick (undisclosed) reverted to the Chargers' injured reserve list Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick wasn't picked up by another club after the Chargers waived him with an injury designation Thursday, so now he'll go to their IR list. Unless he sorts out an injury settlement with the team, he'll have to stay there for the entire season.

Fitzpatrick (undisclosed) was waived by the Chargers with an injury designation Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick spent most of the 2024 season on the Chargers' practice squad and he'll revert to the team's injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old wide receiver has appeared in seven regular-season games.

Fitzpatrick signed a reserve/future contract with the Chargers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Chargers' practice squad after being cut by the Steelers after training camp at the end of August. He was elevated for Week 18 against the Raiders due to Joshua Palmer (foot) being injured, but Fitzpatrick did not draw a target over 10 offensive snaps. Fitzpatrick will remain with the Chargers during the offseason and will look to impress the coaching staff ahead of the start of training camp in July.

The Chargers reverted Fitzpatrick to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
With Joshua Palmer ruled out due to a foot injury in Week 18 against the Raiders, Fitzpatrick was elevated from the practice squad for his first game action of the campaign. In the contest, the 2021 fourth-round draft pick played 10 offensive snaps -- fifth-most among wideouts on the team -- and didn't get any targets. If Palmer is unable to return to action for the Chargers' wild-card round matchup versus Houston on Saturday, Fitzpatrick would be a candidate for another elevation.

The Chargers elevated Fitzpatrick from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick has spent most of the campaign on Los Angeles' practice squad and last played in an NFL game last year, when he logged three special teams snaps and zero offensive snaps in one game with the Steelers. The Louisville product hasn't produced a regular-season NFL catch since his rookie 2021 campaign with Tennessee. Fitzpatrick's elevation for Week 18 comes as a result of Joshua Palmer being ruled out due to a foot injury.

Fitzpatrick signed to the Chargers' practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver was cut from the Bolts' practice squad Dec. 5 to make room for Laviska Shenault. Fitzpatrick was brought back Tuesday when the team also released tackle Alex Leatherwood. Fitzpatrick has played in six games and on 102 offensive snaps across three seasons, though he last played on an offensive snap in 2022 with the Titans.

The Chargers cut Fitzpatrick from the practice squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The move makes room on the practice squad for Laviska Shenault, who was waived by the Seahawks on Monday. Fitzpatrick signed with the Chargers on the practice squad in early September after failing to make the Steelers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2021 fourth-round pick will look to catch on with a team in need of depth at wide receiver. In six regular-season games across three NFL seasons, Fitzpatrick has logged five catches (on eight targets) for 49 yards and one touchdown.

Fitzpatrick signed with the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick failed to make the Steelers' initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's found a new home on the Chargers practice squad. The 26-year-old's last regular-season action came in 2023 with the Steelers, appearing in one game and recording no stats on three special-teams snaps.

Fitzpatrick was waived by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick spent most of 2023 on the Steelers' practice squad, though he was called up for Week 4 against the Texans, during which he played three snaps on special teams. He had a solid preseason, finishing with five catches for 130 yards, highlighted by a 59-yard reception in the Steelers' preseason finale against the Lions on Saturday. Fitzpatrick has appeared in just six regular-season games since being selected by the Titans in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Assuming he clears waivers, Fitzpatrick should be able to catch on with another team, most likely on a practice squad.
