What's Happening?
John FitzPatrick has been activated as the third tight end for the Green Bay Packers, following their victory over the Detroit Lions. FitzPatrick was chosen over fellow tight end Ben Sims and played a significant number of snaps, although he remains a secondary option behind Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave. FitzPatrick's involvement in the game was limited, with only one target resulting in a two-yard reception.
Why It's Important?
FitzPatrick's activation highlights the Packers' strategy in managing their tight end roster, ensuring depth and flexibility in their offensive lineup. His role, although limited, provides the team with additional options in case of injuries or tactical adjustments. The decision to activate FitzPatrick over Sims indicates the coaching staff's confidence in his abilities to contribute effectively when needed.
