Uzomah (hamstring), who is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Cleveland, isn't in line to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Fantasy managers likely weren't counting on Uzomah playing this weekend after he was tagged as "doubtful" following Friday's practice, but Pelissero's report confirms the tight end hasn't progressed enough in the last 48 hours to have a realistic shot at suiting up Sunday. Expect Uzomah to be included on the Jets' inactive list released 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, leaving Tyler Conklin in line to serve as the team's clear top tight end.

Kittle (groin) remains listed as questionable but isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kittle's status for Week 2 will become official when the 49ers' inactive list is released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but the star tight end appears to be trending in the wrong direction, even though head coach Kyle Shanahana said Kittle looked "awesome" in his return to a limited practice Friday, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. The 49ers are likely to rely on a rotation of of Tyler Kroft, Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley at tight end if Kittle indeed can't go. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays more optimism about Kittle's status, noting that the 28-year-old is being treated as a true game-time decision.

The Jets elevated Yeboah from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Yeboah didn't make the initial 53-man roster but inked a practice-squad deal at the beginning of September. He'll get his first look on the active roster, but it's unclear what his role will be. C.J. Uzomah (hamstring) is unlikely to play and Jeremy Ruckert was a healthy scratch for Week 1, but Tyler Conklin and Lawrence Cager are still expected to garner the majority of the tight-end snaps.

Long (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Long will focus on his recovery and not travel with the team to Baltimore. As a result, Tanner Conner will serve as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Durham Smythe and Mike Gesicki.

Stoll (ankle) was a full participant during Friday's practice.

Stoll was limited Thursday due to an ankle issue, but it appears he'll be good to go for Monday's contest against the Vikings. The second-year tight end played 40 total snaps (25 offensive) during the season opener, but he didn't see a target.

Kittle (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, with coach Kyle Shanahan saying the tight end looked "awesome" in his return to a limited practice Friday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Absences Wednesday and Thursday seemingly had Kittle on track for another missed game, but he now appears at least 50/50 to play after showing well at Friday's practice. While Shanahan said he's more optimistic this week than he was last week, the Niners still will want to see how Kittle responds over the next two days, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. It thus sounds like the tight end could be a game-time decision ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with another potential absence leaving the team to deploy a TE rotation of Tyler Kroft, Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley. None of the three saw more than 54 percent of snaps (Kroft) or two targets (Kroft, Dwelley) in the Week 1 loss to Chicago.

Long (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

It has already been a long season for the reserve tight end on the injury front, as he played through an illness in the season opener against the Jets. Long missed Miami's first two practices of the week due to this ankle injury before returning to a limited session Friday to give himself a chance to suit up in Week 2.

Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Reference reports.

Jordan missed practice entirely Thursday but sandwiched that absence between a pair of limited sessions. If Jordan sits out, O.J. Howard could see more opportunities to run routes from the tight end position while blocking specialist Pharaoh Brown should continue to lead all Houston TEs in snaps.

Uzomah (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Uzomah's condition seems to have deteriorated throughout the week, as he was unable to practice Friday after posting a limited session Thursday and practicing fully Wednesday. In Uzomah's absence, Lawrence Cager and rookie Jeremy Ruckert should see increased opportunities at tight end behind Tyler Conklin.

Asiasi (quadriceps) logged another limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 2 at Dallas.

Asiasi is still dealing with the same quad injury that limited him throughout the preseason and kept him out Week 1. Even if he can play Sunday, he'll likely find himself buried on the depth chart behind Hayden Hurst and Drew Sample.
