• Packers' John FitzPatrick: Exits locker room in walking boot

  22H ago • By RotoWire

  FitzPatrick, who injured his Achilles during an overtime loss to Chicago on Sunday, exited the locker room with a walking boot on his right foot after the game, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Achilles injuries tend to be more than minor, especially when they're the non-contact variety, as FitzPatrick's was. It's certainly not a good sign for FitzPatrick's availability moving forward that he left in a walking boot after Saturday's loss, though an official diagnosis may not be announced until after he undergoes further evaluation. Packers coach Matt LaFleur seemed to be resigned to having to look for another tight end to fill FitzPatrick's void for at least the short-term future, saying postgame, "I'm sure we have guys capable on our practice squad. We'll take a look at that and come up with a solution," per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com.

• Packers' John FitzPatrick: Injures Achilles against Bears

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  FitzPatrick has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 contest against Chicago due to an Achilles injury. FitzPatrick suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury in the second half. Prior to his exit, he drew one passing target, which he didn't catch. Green Bay was already short on tight ends with Josh Whyle (concussion) unable to suit up Saturday. Luke Musgrave is the only healthy player left at the position for Green Bay for the remainder of the NFC North battle.

• Packers' John FitzPatrick: Tallies two receptions

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  FitzPatrick was targeted twice and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears. FitzPatrick led Packers tight ends in snaps for the third time in four games after falling behind both Luke Musgrave and Josh Whyle in Week 13, but as was the case previously, it did not lead to much in the box score. While FitzPatrick has the edge in playing time, Musgrave remains the Packers tight end to consider for fantasy purposes with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season.

• Packers' John FitzPatrick: Sees one target in Week 13 win

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  FitzPatrick didn't catch his only target in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thursday. FitzPatrick again took the field with Green Bay's starters, but he got exactly one target for the third straight week. After surpassing a 60 percent offensive snap share each of the previous two weeks, he logged just a 24 percent share Thursday, while Luke Musgrave (59 percent) and Josh Whyle (51 percent) worked well ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. That could be an indication that Whyle is going to eat more into FitzPatrick's opportunities moving forward.

• Packers' John FitzPatrick: Limited at practice

  09/25/2025 • By RotoWire

  FitzPatrick (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. FitzPatrick reeled in two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in the team's 13-10 loss to the Browns in Week 3, but he may have suffered a groin injury in the game. The tight end's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to practice in full ahead of Sunday night's contest in Dallas.
