Seals-Jones was among several tight ends to work out for Indianapolis on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Seals-Jones began training camp with a good chance to be the Giants' starting tight end this season, but he hurt his toe very early in camp and was eventually released with an injury settlement. He now appears to be healthy and will try to latch on with the Colts, who currently have only one healthy tight end (Kylen Granson) on the active roster with both Mo Alie-Cox (ankle) and Jelani Woods (shoulder) missing practice Wednesday.

Waller (hamstring) remained a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Waller has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, and his status for Sunday's game against the Colts has yet to be determined. If Waller is unable to return to action this weekend, Foster Moreau would be in line to continue to see added snaps.

Fortson (quadriceps) participated fully at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Jacksonville.

Fortson was forced to miss Monday night's win versus Tennessee with a quad injury, but it appears he should be ready to roll again for Week 10. As long as Travis Kelce is also healthy though, Fortson probably won't see enough work to be a viable fantasy option in most formats.

Engram was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a back issue.

Per John Shipley of SI.com, head coach Doug Pederson previously called Engram day-to-day, but he noted that the tight end should be fine for this weekend's game against Kansas City. In this past Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders, Engram caught just one of his two targets for eight yards while logging a season-low 55 percent snap share and being spotted on the sideline receiving treatment on his back, according to Adam Stites of USA Today.

Long didn't practice Wednesday due to concussion protocol, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Long presumably suffered the concussion during Miami's Week 9 win over Chicago and is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against the Browns. The reserve tight end will have two more opportunities to practice before the Dolphins need to make a decision on his status for Week 10.

Smythe (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Smythe continues to battle a hamstring injury, but he's suited up for three straight games. He was limited during each practice ahead of Week 9, so despite reappearing on the injury report Wednesday, the reserve tight end is likely still on track to suit up Sunday against the Browns.

Bellinger (eye) said Wednesday that he's improving and will play again this season, but still needs more time to heal, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

The tight end worked with trainers off to the side at practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but he'll miss at least one more game coming out of the Week 9 bye. The Giants haven't placed Bellinger on injured reserve, which suggests he at least has some chance to make it back within the next 3-to-4 weeks.

Alie-Cox isn't practicing Wednesday and is sporting a protective boot over his right foot, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

With Jelani Woods (shoulder) also missing practice, Kylen Granson is the only healthy tight end on the active roster as the Colts and interim head coach Jeff Saturday begin preparations for their Week 10 trip to Las Vegas. The team has deployed a three-man committee at tight end for most of the season, limiting Alie-Cox to four targets in five games since his 6-85-2 explosion Week 4 against the Titans. The three tight ends have combined for only 17.4 percent of Indianapolis' targets and 17.6 percent of the receiving yards this season, but they have five of the nine receiving touchdowns (three for Woods, two for Alie-Cox).

Woods (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Las Vegas, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Woods was forced out of Indianapolis' loss at New England in Week 9 with a shoulder injury, and it now appears he's in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season with that injury. If the rookie were to miss time, sophomore fourth-rounder Kylen Granson would probably be in line for increased reps.

Indianapolis signed Daniels to its practice squad Wednesday.

Daniels appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals last season, recording one catch for zero yards, but he failed to stick with the Texans this offseason and has remained a free agent since. The veteran tight end will get his first NFL opportunity of the campaign with Indianapolis and could be a candidate for elevation if Jelani Woods (shoulder) is unable to play in Week 10.
