Thomas caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.

Thomas has now failed to top 15 receiving yards in any of his last four games, emphasizing his restricted value as more of a blocking tight end.

Eubanks was let go from the Texans' practice squad Tuesday.

Eubanks signed with Houston's practice squad just last week, but he was not able to last long. The undrafted tight end spent some time with Cincinnati, Detroit and Philly's practice squads in 2021, but he is yet to make his NFL debut.

Green was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Green's addition to the practice squad comes after Dalton Schultz aggravated a sprained PCL injury in Sunday's win over the Rams. In a corresponding move, the team cut long snapper Tucker Addington from the practice squad.

The Broncos designated Dulcich (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

An offseason hamstring issue followed Dulcich into training camp, the preseason and eventually the regular season, forcing him to IR for Weeks 1-5. Now that he's back on the practice field, he can be activated anytime in the next 21 days, which may happen ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers. Whenever the rookie third-round pick returns, Dulcich will join a TE group that so far has been paced by Eric Saubert in terms of offensive snap share (47 percent), followed by Eric Tomlinson (42 percent), Albert Okwuegbunam (36 percent) and Andrew Beck (27 percent).

Dulcich (hamstring) is expected to begin practicing this week, according to head coach Nathanial Hackett, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Dulcich has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the beginning of training camp, which resulted in him being placed on IR on Aug. 30. Although there were expectations he could be available for Week 5, it did not come to be. If Dulcich is able to return to practice this week, he will need to be designated to return from IR, which would open up a three-week window for him to be moved to the active roster.

Everett (hamstring) caught one of his three targets for two yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns.

The Chargers decimated the Browns on the ground and thus attempted only 34 passes, but it was surprising to see Everett receive so few looks after three consecutive weeks with at least six targets. Fantasy managers might just have to chalk this one up to fluky game script, but with Keenan Allen (hamstring) theoretically expected to return shortly, it's possible the tight end could see fewer opportunities over the coming weeks. A Week 6 primetime matchup against the Broncos could be a good case study on Everett's workload in the immediate future.

Thomas (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

The Commanders only went through a walkthrough, but Thomas experienced a theoretical downgrade in activity level after being listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report. He thus doesn't seem to be trending in a positive direction ahead of Thursday's contest at Chicago, but he at least has one more chance to mix into drills Wednesday before the team provides some clarity on his ability to play this week.

Schultz officially aggravated his PCL sprain Week 5 at the Rams, but he sustained no new damage in his right knee and should be able to play Sunday night in Philadelphia as long as he gets through Week 6 prep unscathed, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Schultz initially suffered the injury Week 2 and logged a DNP in Week 3. He'll almost certainly operate under practice limitations when the Cowboys take the field Wednesday, but his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday. Increasing his activity level Thursday and/or Friday would be a good sign that Schultz indeed is trending toward active status this weekend.

Likely caught both of his targets for seven yards Sunday against the Bengals.

The rookie got back in the box score but the results still weren't overly impressive. Likely managed to reel in both targets but that totaled just seven yards. Since Likely's pseudo-breakout game against Miami in Week 2, he has three catches for 15 yards on four targets. It's also worth noting that Likely's 14 snaps Sunday marked a season-low. Baltimore heads to East Rutherford to face the Giants on Sunday.

Gentry is dealing with a knee injury Tuesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

The Steelers don't practice until Wednesday, so it remains to be seen whether Gentry's injury will impact his participation level. Top tight end Pat Freiermuth is still in the concussion protocol.
