Fitzpatrick recorded five total tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick was once again on the field for every one of Miami's defensive snaps in Week 3, but his tackle production has now gone down in each week. The safety has yet to make a splash play in 2025, something that he's grown accustomed to doing in his nine-year NFL career. Fitzpatrick is now up to 22 total tackles (14 solo), while also adding one pass defensed in three games this season.

Fitzpatrick logged eight tackles and a pass deflection Sunday during Miami's loss versus Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick ended up having a solid outing in his first game since being traded back to the Dolphins as he finished third on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson. Fitzpatrick will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing next week versus New England.

Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins have agreed to a revised contract that will add a $16.245 million signing bonus to his deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miami acquired Fitzpatrick in a trade with the Steelers in late June and plans to install the veteran safety as the replacement for former starter Jevon Holland, who departed to the Giants. The revised contract gives Fitzpatrick some security, as the previous deal did not have any remaining guaranteed money. It's also a plus for Miami, as having the money come in the form of a signing bonus opens up some cap space. There remains a possibility that the two sides could ultimately agree upon an extension.

The Steelers are trading Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins as part of a deal for tight end Jonnu Smith and cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The trade allows Miami to shed salary while adding a standout replacement for safety Jevon Holland, who left this offseason to sign with the Giants. Fitzpatrick previously was traded in the other direction, from Miami to Pittsburgh, back in September 2019, just three weeks into his second NFL season. He ended up intercepting five passes in 14 games for the Steelers that year, earning First Team All-Pro honors for the first time (also in 2020 and 2022). Fitzpatrick had just one INT and seven pass breakups in 27 regular-season games over the past two seasons, but he's only 28 years old and should still offer some playmaking ability for Miami's secondary.

Fitzpatrick played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 96 tackles (62 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick missed seven of the final 10 games of the 2023 regular season due to knee and hand injuries, but the veteran safety was able to avoid injury in 2024 while playing every single snap in 14 of 17 games in 2024. He was four tackles shy from registering the second 100-tackle season of his seven-year NFL career and finished on the Steelers in that category behind Patrick Queen (129) and DeShon Elliott (108). Fitzpatrick has two years left on his four-year, $73.6 million contract that he signed in June of 2022.

Fitzpatrick recorded seven total tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' 29-10 loss to the Chiefs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick tied Patrick Queen as Pittsburgh's leading tackler in Wednesday's Christmas Day loss, bringing his season total to 93. The Alabama product has also accumulated four passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble while appearing in all 16 of the Steelers' games this season. He's expected to remain one of Pittsburgh's defensive leaders and top playmakers when the Steelers face the Bengals in Week 18.

Fitzpatrick tallied six tackles (two solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during the Steelers' 34-17 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick picked off a Lamar Jackson pass intended for Rashod Bateman early in the fourth quarter. It was Fitzpatrick's first regular-season interception since Week 17 of the 2022 campaign, also against Baltimore. Fitzpatrick has played every single defensive snap in eight straight games and has done so in 12 of 15 regular-season games. The 2018 first-round pick is up to 86 tackles (54 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble on the year. He'll look to eclipse the 100-tackle milestone for the second time in his eight-year NFL career Wednesday against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Fitzpatrick tallied seven tackles (four solo) during Pittsburgh's win over Baltimore on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick finished second on the team in tackles during Sunday's victory behind Patrick Queen's 10. This was just the first time since the team's Week 5 loss to Dallas that Fitzpatrick recorded four or more tackles in a game, and he'll look to build off this solid performance in the team's Week 12 matchup against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick totaled nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick logged the second-most tackles for the Steelers on Sunday behind starting strong safety DeShon Elliot (12). After missing seven regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple injuries, Fitzpatrick has played every single defensive snap through the first four games of 2024, and over that span he's recorded 25 tackles (18 solo).
