Feeling more prepared Fitzpatrick is preparing to compete for a larger role in Tennessee's offense in 2022, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Fitzpatrick struggled to maintain a consistent role in his rookie campaign, as he failed to make Tennessee's roster out of training camp and recorded only five total receptions. However, he feels more prepared heading into his second season as a pro and has gained a better understanding of the team's expectations. The Titans overhauled their wide receiver corps this offseason, but Fitzpatrick will still have to compete with the likes of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips for consistent targets behind Robert Woods and Treylon Burks.

Quiet rookie campaign Fitzpatrick closed his rookie season with five receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown across seven games.

Impact After being selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Fitzpatrick failed to make the Tennessee roster out of training camp. However, he managed to fight his way from the practice squad back to the active roster by mid-November. Thereafter, Fitzpatrick was regularly inactive on game days -- including in Week 18 -- though he managed his first touchdown as a pro in Week 11. With Marcus Johnson (hamstring) and Chester Rogers both headed to free agency, Fitzpatrick could find himself shifting up the wide receiver depth chart in 2022.

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list Fitzpatrick was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The 23-year-old will now enter the league's COVID-19 protocols COVID-19, putting his ability to play in Week 15 against the Steelers in jeopardy. Fitzpatrick was a healthy scratch in Week 14 versus the Jaguars, so if he's unable to go Sunday, it likely won't affect the wide receiver rotation much at all.

Titans Place WR Dez Fitzpatrick on Reserve/COVID-19 List Fitzpatrick, who was among the team’s inactives this past Sunday against the Jaguars, has played in three games for the Titans this season.

Sitting against Jaguars Fitzpatrick (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Fitzpatrick has been active for each of the Titans' last three games, and he was on the field for 78 percent of offensive snaps in Week 11. However, he's slipped down the depth chart due to the return of both Julio Jones (hamstring) and Racey McMath (quadriceps). While it was expected that Fitzpatrick would lose his significant role due to the return of Jones, McMath jumping him on the depth chart comes as a surprise.

Makes one catch Fitzpatrick recorded one reception on one target for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-13 loss to New England.

Impact Fitzpatrick was only minimally involved in the Titans' offense, even given a number of significant injuries among the wide receiver corps. He found the field for 12 offensive snaps, behind each of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cody Hollister and Chester Rogers. Given that Julio Jones (hamstring) will be eligible to come off injured reserve in Week 14 against Jacksonville, Fitzpatrick could slip further down the depth chart moving forward.

Should get opportunity Fitzpatrick is likely to see an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ben Arthur of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Fitzpatrick was active for the second game of his career and caught his first professional touchdown Week 11 against Houston. With A.J. Brown (chest), Julio Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (hamstring) all sidelined for Week 12 against New England, Fitzpatrick likely will have an opportunity to build on his previous performance. Despite several absences among the Titans' receiver corps, both Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chester Rogers should be projected to work ahead of Fitzpatrick.

First professional touchdown Fitzpatrick recorded three receptions on six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans.

Impact Fitzpatrick benefitted from a beat up Titans' receiver corps to find the field for 79 percent of offensive snaps -- more than both Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. He made a few big plays, most notable of which was an 18-yard reception late in the third quarter for his first career touchdown. Should Marcus Johnson (hamstring) remain sidelined, Fitzpatrick could be in line for a bigger role once again in Week 12 against New England.
