Mandatory Credit: Wm. Glasheen/USA TODAY Network via Imagn Images The Green Bay Packers are signing tight end John FitzPatrick off the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad, coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Thursday.
The Packers (3-2) reportedly will add FitzPatrick to the active roster for Sunday's game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals (2-3) as tight end Luke Musgrave deals with an ankle injury.
LaFleur said Thursday that Musgrave (ankle) is likely headed to injured reserve. Musgrave would not be eligible to return until Nov. 17 at the soonest.
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, has not played since injuring his ankle in Green Bay's 31-29 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The second-year pro has five catches for 22 yards in four games (two starts) this season.
