  • Joel Wilson TE | CHI

    Joel Wilson: Signed by Tennessee

    The Titans signed Wilson to their practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Tennessee swapped out TE Drake Dabney for Wilson on the practice squad. Wilson spent the offseason with the Bears but was cut following the preseason. He'll serve as organizational depth behind Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm.

  • Zaire Mitchell-Paden: Reverts to practice squad

    Mitchell-Paden reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL transaction log .

    Mitchell-Paden was active for the second consecutive week and has held a similar role in each of Baltimore's first two games, playing around 15 offensive snaps with a handful of special-teams snaps. He was targeted in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Browns but was unable to record a catch.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Progressing in recovery

    Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Parkinson is making good progress in his recovery from a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Parkinson's shoulder injury prevented him from playing against the Titans in Week 2. His practice participation over the next week will provide more clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles. Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson will continue to see increased snaps at tight end behind Tyler Higbee for as long as Parkinson is sidelined.

  • Josiah Deguara TE | ARI

    Josiah Deguara: Back to practice squad

    Deguara reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL transaction log.

    Deguara was active for the first time in 2025 for Arizona's Week 2 matchup against the Panthers. He logged 14 snaps and also recorded one tackle.

  • John Bates TE | WAS

    Commanders' John Bates: Unlikely to play Week 3

    Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Bates (groin) is a "long shot" to play Sunday versus Las Vegas, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Bates was injured in the second quarter in Thursday's loss to the Packers. Though he will have had extended time to recover, it doesn't appear the veteran tight end will be able to suit up Sunday. Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff could both see more snaps than usual against the Raiders, though Zach Ertz -- who logged 89 percent of Washington's defensive snaps Week 2 -- will likely continue to carry a heavy workload as the team's top tight end.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Limited on practice estimate

    Waller (hip) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Waller, who has been out for the first two games of the season, had been deemed a non-participant in all of the Dolphins' practices leading up to Monday's estimate. Either way, the tight end's status for Thursday night's game against the Bills remains uncertain, with added context in that regard set to arrive via his participation level in Tuesday's session.

  • Devin Culp TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Won't suit up vs. Houston

    Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    The 2024 seventh-rounder managed to make the Bucs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the regular season. It appears Culp is unlikely to be active for gameday unless Cade Otton, Payne Durham or Ko Kieft were to miss time due to injury or illness.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Finds paydirt in Week 2

    Wright caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 52-21 win over Chicago.

    Wright reeled in an eight-yard touchdown from Jared Goff in the second quarter, reaching the end zone for the first time since Week 11 of the 2024 campaign. The tight end typically operates as a clear No. 2 option behind Sam LaPorta, and the three receptions were his highest total since playing the Cardinals in Week 3 of last season, a game in which LaPorta was limited by an undisclosed injury. Wright will remain an unappealing option for fantasy managers as long as LaPorta is active for the Lions.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Gets zero targets Week 2

    Bellinger did not receive any passing targets Sunday in an overtime defeat against Dallas.

    Bellinger now has just one target over the first two weeks of the season. He actually played more snaps on special teams (20) than on offense (19) against the Cowboys, while starting tight end Theo Johnson logged a healthy 84 percent offensive snap share and gathered four receptions on five targets for 34 yards. Johnson has solidified his role as the Giants' top TE early in the campaign, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Bellinger to have much value barring an injury that propels him up the pecking order.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Picks up production Week 2

    Johnson caught four of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys.

    After catching just one pass for five yards against Washington in Week 1, Johnson was much more productive Sunday. He actually looked to be in line for a bigger final line after a quick start, as he caught two passes for 20 yards on the team's opening drive. Regardless, this was a nice step in the right direction for Johnson, who was on the field for 56 of the team's 67 offensive snaps while backup TE Daniel Bellinger recorded more snaps on special teams (20) than on offense (19), as did No. 3 TE Chris Manhertz (14 and 17, respectively). Johnson will get a tough matchup Week 3 against a Chiefs team that has surrendered just five receptions to tight ends through two weeks.
