Parkinson (shoulder) returned in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Texans, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Parkinson briefly left for the locker room to be evaluated for a shoulder injury. The injury doesn't appear to be a severe one, as the 2020 fourth-rounder is back on the field for the Rams. He logged a one-yard catch at the start of the second quarter prior to his injury.

Kittle won't return to Sunday's game at Seattle due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kittle paid a visit to the blue medical tent in the first half before he was spotted with a hat on not long before the 49ers ruled him out. He thus will end Week 1 action with four catches (on four targets) for 25 yards and one touchdown. Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges will handle TE duties for San Francisco for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Parkinson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans due to a shoulder injury.

It's unclear when Parkinson suffered the injury, but he was evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines before heading into the locker room, where he will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Davis Allen is slated to step up as the Rams' TE3 behind Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson if Parkinson is unable to return.

Following Sunday's 20-10 win over the Patriots, Bowers downplayed the knee issue that caused his exit from the contest, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, Bowers indicated afterward that he's fine, with the tight end noting that he took a little hit on his knee (which he got checked out ) and that there are no concerns moving forward. Meanwhile, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Bowers wanted to return to Sunday's game, but the Raiders' training staff elected to hold him out. In any case, added context regarding Bowers' Week 2 status will arrive no later than Thursday, when Las Vegas takes the practice field ahead of next Monday's contest against the Chargers.

Bowers exited Sunday's season opener against the Patriots with a knee injury.

Prior to that, Bowers had caught five of his eight targets for 103 yards. In his absence, Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas are available to handle the Raiders' TE duties.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Sims will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener while Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick serve as the Packers' active tight ends. Sims' next chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Commanders.

Kallerup (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against San Francisco.

Kallerup managed to make Seattle's 53-man roster after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in early May. However, he isn't likely to play much unless one or more of the tight ends ahead of him on the depth chart -- AJ Barner, Elijah Arroyo and Eric Saubert -- needs to miss time.

Grandy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Grandy will be a healthy scratch for Week 1 while the Bengals go with Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson as the backup tight ends behind Mike Gesicki. Grandy's next opportunity to see regular-season action is Week 2 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Fidone (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The rookie seventh-rounder managed to crack the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. However, he'll have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL regular-season debut as the Giants roll with Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz as the backup tight ends behind Theo Johnson for Week 1. Fidone's next chance to play is Week 2 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Woods (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

Woods was claimed off waivers by the Jets in late August after failing to make the Colts' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2022 third-rounder will have to wait to make his Jets debut as the team goes with three active tight ends in Stone Smartt, Jeremy Ruckert and rookie second-rounder Mason Taylor. Woods' next chance to play is Week 2 against the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 14.
