Logs tryout Tuesday

Fitzgerald (hamstring) worked out for the Broncos on Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

Analysis: Fitzgerald had been dealing with the hamstring issue as far back as training camp, forcing him to land on the Active/non-football injury list with the Saints. As evidenced by this news, appears to be recovered from the injury, looking to latch on to a roster after he went undrafted out of Mississippi State in April.

Released from practice squad

Fitzgerald (hamstring) was released from the Bucs' practice squad on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Fitzgerald was being developed into a hybrid QB/TE role, somewhat like Taysom Hill's role with the Saints, but the Bucs have opted to move on. The Mississippi State product will now look for a new opportunity.

Lands on Bucs' practice squad

Fitzgerald (hamstring) signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Sunday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Tampa Bay originally signed Fitzgerald as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State immediately after this year's draft. The 23-year-old was placed on the NFI list with a hamstring issue July 23 and missed all of the Buccaneers' training camp and preseason action.

Hits NFI list to open camp

Fitzgerald (hamstring) will begin training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Fitzgerald carries a bit more intrigue than the standard undrafted rookie quarterback, considering there's been talk this offseason of deploying him in a manner similar to versatile signal-callers like Joe Webb and Taysom Hill, who both have also seen time on special teams and as ball carriers and pass catchers during their NFL tenure. Fitzgerald's 6-foot-5 frame may ultimately help him carve out a spot on special teams, and by extension, the final roster, but the Mississippi State product will have apparently have to wait at least a short time before getting the chance to start making his case in camp.
