Productive during 2022 campaign Fitzpatrick logged 96 tackles (56 solo), six interceptions, 11 pass defenses and a touchdown over 15 games during the 2022 season.

Impact Last season, Fitzpatrick matched the second-lowest mark of his career with two interceptions, but he bounced back with a career-high six interceptions in 2022 while nearly posting 100 tackles. The 26-year-old had double-digit tackles on three occasions this year and should remain a prominent member of the Steelers' secondary in 2023 since he signed a four-year, $73.6 million deal with Pittsburgh in June of 2022.

Will play Sunday Fitzpatrick (ankle) is active Sunday against the Browns.

Receives questionable tag Fitzpatrick (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact The star safety was sidelined for the Steelers' first two Week 18 practices, but his ability to put in a limited session Friday leaves the door open for him to play in the regular-season finale. Given that the Steelers can clinch a playoff berth with a win and losses by the Dolphins and Patriots this weekend, Fitzpatrick has some incentive to play through the injury at less than 100 percent health. He's played all but two of the Steelers' defensive snaps in each of the past seven games, totaling 41 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions during that stretch.

Sits out practice again Thursday Fitzpatrick (ankle) did not participate in the Steelers' practice Thursday.

Impact Fitzpatrick was forced out for three defensive snaps after he picked up an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Ravens. While the star safety has now sat out each of the first two practices during Week 18 prep, coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday the team is not "overly concerned" about the issue affecting his availability moving forward. Fitzpatrick will now have one more opportunity to increase his activity before the Steelers must assign him an official game status Friday ahead of the regular-season finale against Cleveland this Sunday.

Leading tackler Week 14 Fitzpatrick tallied 11 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 16-14 defeat versus the Ravens.

Impact Fitzpatrick accumulated double-digit tackles for the first time since Week 1. However, he did not log a pass defended for just the fourth time in 11 games this season, as Baltimore attempted just 17 passes with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson sitting out due to a PCL sprain. Fitzpatrick has still been the Steelers' most productive all-around defender despite missing two games due to injury, ranking second on the team in tackles (73), third in passes defended (eight) and first in interceptions (four), and he also holds the team's lone defensive touchdown of he season. The star free safety should continue to play a prominent role Week 15 versus Carolina.

Impact Fitzpatrick ended the Falcons' final drive with a game-icing interception of Marcus Mariota intended for Drake London. With his first pick since Week 4, Fitzpatrick now needs just one more interception to tie his career-best mark (five). He could get a chance to do so Week 14 versus a Ravens team that may be without Lamar Jackson (knee).
