Krull (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Krull has been on injured reserve since breaking his foot back in October, and the reserve tight end will have to miss yet another pivotal game. The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice throughout the week, but the space demanded by the active roster and the reserve player's relatively low-priority role are likely what kept him from being activated for Sunday's contest.

The Steelers signed Galbreath to a reserve/future deal Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Galbreath spent early September on the Steelers' practice squad after failing to make the team's active roster. The tight end was eventually cut to make space for other additions, but will return to the team for the start of the coming season's on-field activities. The 24-year-old now has another shot to make the Steelers' 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

Kincaid (knee) reportedly played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, per Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com.

Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but subsequently remained bothered by the injury according to fellow TE Dawson Knox, which capped the 2023 first-rounder's snap counts during the 2025 campaign. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he could face an estimated recovery timeframe of six-to-nine months.

Arroyo (knee) was activated from IR on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Arroyo has been sidelined for the Seahawks' last five contests due to a knee injury sustained in Week 14, but it now appears he's ready to return for the NFC Championship game against the Rams. The 2025 second-round pick from Miami has had a solid rookie campaign, catching 15 of 26 targets for 179 yards and a touchdowns across 13 regular-season appearances. Now fully healthy, Arroyo is expected to operate as Seattle's No. 2 tight end Sunday, playing behind AJ Barner.

The 49ers signed Rucci to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

Rucci joined the 49ers' practice squad Jan. 14 but wasn't elevated to the active roster for the NFC divisional-round game against the Seahawks despite the absence of George Kittle (Achilles). Rucci will be on the 49ers' 90-man roster when the offseason officially begins Feb. 9, giving him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

Arroyo (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Arroyo has been on Seattle's injured reserve list for the past five games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 14 at Atlanta, but his activity at practice signals he could return to game action for the NFC Championship. With any limits on his reps apparently behind him, the Seahawks would just need to officially activate him from IR prior to Sunday's game versus the Rams.

Krull (foot) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Krull has been on Denver's injured reserve list since breaking his foot during practice back in October, but it looks like there's a solid chance he will suit up for the AFC Championship versus the Patriots. With that said, there probably won't be a clear path to a significant snap share for Krull as long as Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins all remain available.

The Texans signed Pryor to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Pryor signed with the Texans' practice squad in November after starting the 2025 season as a free agent. The tight end was later placed on the practice squad/injured list with an undisclosed issue, never getting a chance at elevation to the active roster. Now with a future contract in place, Pryor will have a shot to make the 2026 Texans roster.

The Falcons signed Simon to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Simon stuck with the Falcons' practice squad throughout the 2025 season after ultimately failing to make the 53-man roster. The tight end was not elevated to the active roster at all this season. The future contract will allow Simon to compete for a spot on the 2026 roster once the preseason commences.

The Bears signed Ismail to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Ismail signed with the Bears' practice squad in late November before being placed on the practice-squad injured list with an undisclosed issue in late December. The tight end was not elevated for any games this season. The 25-year-old is currently listed behind Colston Loveland (concussion), Cole Kmet, Durham Smythe, Stephen Carlson and Nikola Kalinic on the depth chart. Ismail will have a chance to fight for a roster spot over any of those names and likely more when the 2026 season commences.
