Kacmarek (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday battle against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Kacmarek dealt with a hamstring injury this week and logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was able to upgrade to a full session Friday and has thus been cleared to play Sunday. Kacmarek should serve in his usual role as the No. 2 tight end who focuses primarily on blocking.

Thomas (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Thomas was a full participant in Friday's practice, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's road tilt. He has five catches on as many targets for 60 yards and one touchdown through seven regular-season games and will continue to serve as the Raiders' TE3 behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Runyon (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Like Week 7 prep, Runyon was a full participant in all three practice sessions for Week 8. However, the Towson product is not quite ready to be activated from injured reserve as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Runyon's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 14, so he would be forced to stay on IR for the rest of the season if he's not activated by this upcoming Wednesday.

Ogletree (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Ogletree's practice reps Wednesday and Thursday were limited by a knee injury that he likely picked up against the Vikings in Week 7. He was a DNP for Friday's session, but the Colts have left the door open for Ogletree to suit up Sunday, depending on how his knee feels over the weekend and during pregame warmups. Tyler Warren (groin) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence, but Ogletree's absence would mean more offensive snaps would be available for Will Mallory, Mo Alie-Cox and Pharaoh Brown.

Bates (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Bates missed each of the first two practices of Week 8 prep while tending to a shoulder injury, but he was on the field with a non-contact jersey Friday as a limited participant, per Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C.. Colson Yankoff and Ben Sinnott would both be in line for more offensive snaps if Bates is not cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt.

Dulcich (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

After back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Dulcich upgraded to full Friday and is in the clear for Sunday. Dulcich is coming off a productive 5-86-0 receiving line on five targets last Sunday against the Jets.

Loveland was limited at Friday's practice due to a neck injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Loveland is making a midweek appearance on the Bears' Week 8 injury report, which may be cause for concern ahead of Monday's game at Seattle. In the end, though, Saturday's practice report will determine if he has a designation for that matchup.

Kelce (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Kelce missed some practice reps this week and has been dealing with the ankle issue for a couple weeks. He played through it last Sunday night against the Seahawks and posted four catches for 44 yards on eight targets. The veteran tight end hasn't visited the end zone since Week 3.

Parkinson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Parkinson has been banged up seemingly all season, first dealing with shoulder and knee injuries before a ribs issue this week. Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen would be set to handle most of the tight-end duties for the Rams if Parkinson is unable to play, and rookie Max Klare could even see some action on offense.

Kincaid (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Kincaid returned to a Week 6 win at Las Vegas after being evaluated for an upper-body injury. Then, coming out of a Week 7 bye, Kincaid was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, donning a no-contact jersey. He seems more likely than not to play, but fantasy managers will want to check in ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.
