NFL Player News

Koziol (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Koziol is once again a healthy scratch. The tight end is the odd man out in a position room that consists of Brenton Strange, Nate Boerkircher and Quintin Morris.

Bowers (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Chargers.

Bowers underwent a meniscus trim in his left knee on Sept. 8, and while he'll miss the first two games of the campaign as a result, he did practice in a limited capacity Friday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that the stud tight end is likely to make his season debut Week 3 in New Orleans. In Bowers' continued absence, though, Michael Mayer will act as the primary TE for the Raiders.

Raridon is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a thigh injury.

Raridon hauled in a 30-yard pass from Drake Maye before going to the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a thigh injury. Cameron Latu will serve as the backup tight end behind Hunter Henry for as long as Raridon is sidelined.

Goedert is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans due to a knee injury.

Goedert reeled in one of two targets for a four-yard gain before leaving the game in the first half after he appeared to get upended while run blocking, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. According to McLane, Goedert checked into the medical tent to be evaluated further, but the Eagles could examine him more thoroughly in the locker room before deciding whether he's able to return to the contest. The Eagles will be left with Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins as their options at tight end if Goedert ends up sitting out for the rest of the game.

Arkin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Arkin signed with the Patriots in May as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois. The tight end saw four special-teams snaps in the team's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks but did not appear in the box score.

Granson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Granson is a healthy scratch for a second consecutive game, and his next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 3 versus the Giants.

Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Sanders will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, with the Panthers going with four active tight ends in Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, Darren Waller and Feleipe Franks for Sunday's NFC South tilt. Sanders' next chance to play is Week 3 against the Browns on Sept. 27, though there doesn't appear to be a clear path to playing time for the 2024 fourth-rounder at this time.

Bowers (knee), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to sit out Week 2 but appears likely to make his season debut Week 3 in New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bowers underwent a meniscus trim of his left knee Sept. 8 but appears to have bounced back well from the procedure and is progressing as expecting. The tight end was able to clear a major hurdle in the recovery process by returning to practice Friday, albeit as a limited participant. Michael Mayer is expected to operate as the Raiders' top tight end in Bowers' stead for a second straight game Sunday, but Bowers should be on track to play Week 3 so long as he can upgrade to full participation in practice by next Friday.

The Raiders elevated Myarick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Myarick will once again be elevated to the active roster as the Raiders are set to spend another week without starting tight end Brock Bowers (knee). Myarick played eight total snaps in the Week 1 win over the Dolphins but did not appear in the box score.

FitzPatrick (Achilles) has been cleared to resume all football activities by his surgeon, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

FitzPatrick tore his Achilles in the Packers' 2025 Week 16 loss to the Bears. The tight end has finally recovered from his surgery to repair the injury and is set to try out with multiple teams in the foreseeable future.
