Dez Fitzpatrick: Joins Chargers' practice squad
Fitzpatrick signed with the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
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.

Dez Fitzpatrick: Cut by Pittsburgh
Fitzpatrick was waived by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
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.

Steelers' Dez Fitzpatrick: Logs 34-yard reception Friday
Fitzpatrick secured his lone target for 34 yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to Houston.
Fitzpatrick signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers in January, and he made a flashy play during Friday's preseason opener with a 34-yard reception in the second quarter, the team's second-longest play of the night. He spent the entire 2023 season on Pittsburgh's practice squad and faces an uphill battle to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster for the 2024 campaign, even after the Steelers lost Diontae Johnson, Allen Robinson and Miles Boykin during the offseason.

Fitzpatrick is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Fitzpatrick is active for the first time this season. He was signed off the practice squad after Diontae Johnson suffered a hamstring injury, but Fitzpatrick officially cracked the 53-man roster Sunday with Gunner Olszewski (coach's decision/concussion) inactive. Fitzpatrick has caught five of eight targets for 49 yards and a touchdown across five career appearances and will serve as a depth wideout versus Houston.

Pittsburgh signed Fitzpatrick off its practice squad to the 53-man roster Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) listed as doubtful for Week 2, Fitzpatrick will be available to potentially provide reinforcement at wide receiver Monday night against the Browns. If he can find his way onto the field, Fitzpatrick will be a secondary option on a passing offense that looked anemic, to put it lightly, in Week 1.
