Dwelley (ribs) practiced in limited fashion Saturday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Dwelley's limited session was his first practice participation of the week. Since the return of George Kittle, Dwelley has been relegated nearly exclusively to special teams duties.

Holtz was elevated to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Holtz has spent the first three weeks of the season on the Saints' practice squad and will be added to the active roster for the first time this season. He figures to play primarily on special teams.

Schultz (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Cowboys will likely make the decision official closer to the Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but this is still encouraging news given Schultz missed the Week 3 contest against the Giants. The Cowboys are also expected to see the season debut of star wide receiver Michael Gallup, meaning the entirety of the team's pass-catching corps should be healthy, albeit without quarterback Dak Prescott, who remains out following thumb surgery.

Akins was elevated to the Texans' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Akins saw four targets in last week's loss to the Bears, including a touchdown reception, and it's possible the 2018 third-round pick could see a similar workload again with Pharaoh Brown (hip/shoulder) listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chargers and nominal pass-catching tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) already ruled out. If Brown were unable to play, O.J. Howard and Akins would be the only active tight ends on the roster.

The Browns have signed Forristall to their actove roster ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

This is Forristall's second time being called up from the practice squad this season. He saw one target on four offensive snaps in a 29-17 victory over the Steelers in Week 3. He projects to have a similar workload in Atlanta.

Moreau (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Moreau didn't practice all week due to a knee injury he presumably picked up during the team's Week 3 loss to the Titans, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. In his absence, Jesper Horsted is expected to operate as the backup tight end behind Darren Waller, while Cole Fotheringham could be elevated from the practice squad.

Dwelley (ribs) didn't practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Dwelley has missed back-to-back practices ahead of Monday's divisional clash with the Rams due to a rib injury. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have just one more practice before the team makes a decision on his status for Week 4. With George Kittle back, Dwelley played just four offensive snaps in Week 3, so his potential absence wouldn't be a significant blow to the 49ers offense.

Hooper (neck) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Hooper was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but his full participation Friday paves the way for the tight end to suit up this weekend. However, with just four catches on nine targets for 44 yards in three games thus far, Hooper's fantasy impact has been modest while working in a timeshare with Geoff Swaim.

Lewis doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis didn't practice Thursday and was limited Wednesday and Friday, but the veteran tight end will still be available for Week 4. The 2006 first-round pick has yet to be targeted this season despite playing over 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps in each of the first three games.

Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Following a second consecutive week in which he was unable to practice due to an ankle injury, Jordan will miss another game. Fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown (hip/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday, but he seems likely to play after following an FP/FP/LP practice regimen. Aside from Brown, O.J. Howard is the other TE on the Texans' active roster.
