The Green Bay Packers are signing tight end John FitzPatrick off the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad, ESPN reported Thursday.
The Packers (3-2) reportedly will add FitzPatrick to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals (2-3) with tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) practicing on a limited basis so far this week.
FitzPatrick, 24, was drafted in the sixth round by Atlanta in 2022. He has just one catch for 12 yards in nine games (zero starts), with all of those games coming in 2023. He has played 18 snaps on offense and 83 on special teams, recording three tackles.
Musgrave, 24, did not play in last weekend’s 24-19 road win against the Los Angeles Rams. He has five catches for 22 yards in four games (two starts) this season.
