Andrews (knee) failed to bring in either of his two targets and rushed once for four yards in the Ravens' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Andrews managed to overcome his questionable designation, but he ultimately was held without a catch for only the second time in his career, with the only other instance having occurred in Week 14 of his 2018 rookie campaign. The veteran tight end was one of several Ravens pass catchers caught up in the domino effect of Lamar Jackson attempting just 16 passes, and he should have a good chance to bounce back from what will surely prove an outlier when he faces the struggling Buccaneers in a Week 8 Thursday night road showdown.

Njoku needed crutches and was wearing a walking boot on his left foot following Sunday's 23-20 loss at Baltimore, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Njoku was putting together one of the most productive seasons of his career prior to injuring his ankle Sunday, compiling a 34-418-1 line on 42 targets through seven games. If Njoku misses any time, Harrison Bryant will experience in uptick in usage and may even get most of the TE reps for the Browns after Pharaoh Brown also left Week 7 with a concussion.

Coach Brian Daboll said Bellinger (eye) is back with the Giants after Sunday's win at Jacksonville, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Bellinger exited the contest after he was poked in the eye during his only catch (a 13-yarder) just before halftime, requiring a cart to get the locker room. He was seen with a lot of blood on the front of his jersey, and Daboll also told Vacchiano afterward that Bellinger's "eye looks terrible right now." There's no telling if Bellinger's status is in peril for next Sunday's visit to Seattle. The other tight ends on the Giants' active roster are Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson.

Brown, who exited Sunday's game against the Ravens, is being evaluated for a possible concussion, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Initial reports suggested that the tight send suffered a neck issue, but he's now getting checked for concussion symptoms. His exit from Sunday's contest taxes the Browns' Week 7 depth at tight end, with David Njoku already out due to an ankle injury.

Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

For a second straight game, the Broncos have made Okwuegbunam a healthy scratch, instead going with the quartet of Greg Dulcich, Eric Saubert, Eric Tomlinson and Andrew Beck at tight end. Okwuegbunam's next opportunity to suit up arrives next Sunday at Jacksonville.

Brown left Sunday's game against the Ravens with a neck injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

With Brown injured and David Njoku out of the game due to an ankle injury, Harrison Bryant is the Browns' lone healthy tight end in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest.

Kroft (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

Kroft hasn't played since Week 2, but he was previously dealing with a knee injury. However, the veteran tight end was able to log full practices this week. Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley will continue to backup George Kittle.

Njoku was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Njoku caught all seven of his targets for 71 yards. In his absence Sunday, Harrison Bryant and Pharaoh Brown are candidates to see added snaps. Njoku will look to bounce back from his ankle issue in time for Cleveland's Oct. 31 contest against the Bengals.

Bellinger (eye) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Bellinger had to be carted to the locker room and was seen with blood on the front of his jersey after he appeared to be poked in the eye late in the first half. According to Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports, the 22-year-old was also taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation, which should provide more clarity on the exact nature of this injury. Bellinger's next opportunity to play will come against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 30.

Turner won't return to Sunday's game versus Green Bay after suffering a concussion, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Turner had to be escorted to the locker room after hitting his head on the field while trying to make a catch late in the second quarter. Washington entered the contest already down starting tight end Logan Thomas (calf), so John Bates and Armani Rogers should handle the position for the rest of the game.
