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

EDGE Analysis

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.

FitzPatrick (undisclosed) was spotted participating in team drills last Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Falcons designated FitzPatrick (undisclosed) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPartick has been on Atlanta's injured reserve since the beginning of September due to an undisclosed injury, but Tuesday now marks the start of the 21-day window for the team to activate him back to their active roster. With Kyle Pitts (knee) now done for the year, the Falcons could give the rookie tight end some extra snaps down the stretch alongside Parker Hesse, MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser.

The Falcons placed FitzPatrick (undisclosed) on injured reserve Thursday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick was limited during minicamp due to an undisclosed issue but was healthy during training camp, though he didn't appear in the preseason finale after suiting up for each of the Falcons' first two exhibition games. The extent of his current issue remains unclear, but the rookie sixth-round pick will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season after landing on IR.

FitzPatrick (undisclosed) took part in training camp Friday, Matt Urben of Falcons Wire reports.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick was limited during minicamp, but he appears to be fully active for training camp. Selected in the sixth round out of Georgia in the 2021 Draft, Fitzpatrick is an Atlanta native whose blocking skills caught the Falcons' eye last year.

FitzPatrick was limited during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp due to an undisclosed injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick was drafted by the Falcons in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but his pro career is off to a rocky start. The 6-foot-7 tight end caught 17 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown during his final collegiate season at Georgia.

The Falcons selected FitzPatrick in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 213th overall.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick (6-foot-7, 262 pounds) played 38 games (13 starts) for Georgia over three seasons but managed to record just 17 receptions for 200 yards and a touchdown. He's an interesting pick for Atlanta, especially if his blocking skills translate to the NFL level. The Falcons aren't very deep at wide receiver, so FitzPatrick may be called upon to handle the inline blocking while fellow tight end Kyle Pitts lines up outside more frequently.
