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.

Jordan (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Raiders, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.

The second-year tight end will therefore be active for the first time since Week 2 after finally overcoming his ankle issue. His return will make the Texans' tight end picture even murkier, as O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins remain on hand as well for snaps at the position.

Bellinger (undisclosed) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

At the end of a 13-yard catch late in the second quarter, Bellinger appeared to get poked in the eye by a Jaguars defender. The nature of his injury is unclear, but he was spotted with blood on the front of his jersey as he was taken off the field, per Mark Long of the Associated Press.

Firkser (coach's decision) won't be active for Sunday's clash in Cincinnati, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Firkser will stay on the sidelines for the second straight week after playing in each of Atlanta's first five games. With four healthy tight ends currently ahead of him, it's uncertain when the veteran will next take the field.

Bates (hamstring) is active Week 7 against Green Bay.

The Commanders were without both Bates and Logan Thomas (calf) last week against Chicago, and while Thomas remains inactive, Bates will be back in action. The last time Thomas was out and Bates was active -- Week 5 against Tennessee -- Bates led the position group with a 58.6 percent snap share, though he was targeted only three times in that contest.

Andrews (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

The tight end didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday, and, barring any in-game setbacks, Andrews is in line to continue to be a key receiving option for QB Lamar Jackson versus Cleveland. Six games into the 2022 season, Andrews has recorded a fantasy-friendly 39/455/5 receiving line on a team-high 57 targets.

Andrews (knee), currently listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Andrews failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday but returned to log a limited session Friday. That provided some optimism that he'd be ready to take the field Sunday, and Schefter's report backs that notion. Andrews has been excellent all season, as he's surpassed 80 receiving yards in four of six games and has five touchdowns.

The Jets elevated Yeboah from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest in Denver, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

This is the third time Yeboah has been elevated this season -- he also was brought up in Week 2 and Week 6. The second-year tight end has played just six offensive snaps and has yet to receive a target, but he's also been in on 49 special-teams snaps.

Dallas elevated McKeon to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Commanders.

This is the third elevation of the season for McKeon, who was also active in Weeks 3 and 6. He has logged 20 total offensive snaps on the campaign, catching his only target for 10 yards. Since he's now been elevated three times, he'll need to be signed to the 53-man roster the next time the Cowboys desire his services for gameday.
