Kenny Yeboah TE | ARI
Kenny Yeboah: Heads back to practice squad
Yeboah reverted back to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Yeboah got the call up to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Bills with Tyler Kroft (chest) on IR. Despite the promotion, Yeboah only saw the field on 11 special-teams snaps. He'll try to earn another chance on the active roster in a Week 11 matchup against Miami.

Parker Hesse TE | DET
Parker Hesse: Reverts to practice squad
Hesse reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Hesse was a gameday elevation for Sunday's blowout loss and played 19 offensive snaps without receiving a target. Hayden Hurst (ankle) and Lee Smith (back) are battling injuries, so Hesse could rejoin the active roster as a depth option at tight end for Thursday's matchup with the Patriots.

Mitchell Wilcox TE | NE
Bengals' Mitchell Wilcox: Lands on COVID list
Wilcox (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
It's unclear whether or not Wilcox tested positive for the virus, but he'll need to clear the health and safety protocols regardless. C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample are the remaining tight ends on Cincinnati's active roster.

Jonnu Smith TE | PIT
Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Listed as limited on practice estimate
Smith (shoulder) was listed as a limited on Monday's practice estimate.
Though Smith was able to practice in a limited fashion last week, he was inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns. With that in mind, we'd expect him to approach this Thursday night's game against the Falcons listed as questionable, and if he remains out Week 11, Hunter Henry would be in line to continue to head the Patriots' tight end corps, with Devin Asiasi and Matt LaCosse in reserve.

Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Concussion confirmed
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed Goedert was placed in the NFL's concussion protocol after Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Goedert sustained the concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Denver safety Justin Simmons and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He finished with two receptions for 28 yards on two targets. Goedert now will have to navigate the NFL's five-step protocol for head injuries in the coming days as he looks to gain clearance for the Eagles' Week 11 matchup with the Saints.

Hayden Hurst TE | LAC
Falcons' Hayden Hurst: Idle to begin Week 11 prep
Hurst (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hurst is unsurprisingly still hobbled one day after picking up an ankle injury in Sunday's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys. He didn't record any statistics before departing the contest, and he'll now be at risk of missing his first game of the season with the Falcons facing a quick turnaround Thursday night against the Patriots. The Falcons should have a better idea by Wednesday if Hurst will be available for the Week 11 contest.

Foster Moreau TE | HOU
Raiders' Foster Moreau: Role declining since Waller return
Moreau played 21 of the Raiders' 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs but didn't draw a target or record any other statistics.
Since putting up a 6-60-1 receiving line on six targets in a starting role during the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Eagles, Moreau predictably has seen his opportunities decline following top tight end Darren Waller's return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. In Las Vegas' two games since its Week 8 bye, Moreau has ran only 23 pass routes and hasn't been targeted, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press.

Mo Alie-Cox TE | IND
Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Just one reception Sunday
Alie-Cox had one reception for six yards on two targets in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.
Alie-Cox played on 35 of the offense's 64 snaps but went out for a pass on just 17 snaps. While he ran slightly fewer routes than usual, it was also a game where the Colts emphasized the run. Still, it looked like Alie-Cox was emerging as the top tight end in the passing game over Jack Doyle, but Doyle has six receptions and two touchdowns in the last three games compared to two receptions and no touchdowns for Alie-Cox. Since they've both had the typical pattern of playing time, it remains a guessing game which tight end may be a factor through the air and in the red zone.

Ricky Seals-Jones TE | IND
Football Team's Ricky Seals-Jones: Labeled as day-to-day
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Seals-Jones (hip) is considered day-to-day, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Rivera revealed Monday that Seals-Jones has been dealing with a hip issue throughout the season, and he aggravated the injury in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. While it doesn't appear as though the injury is a long-term concern, John Bates and Sammis Reyes should see increased work if Seals-Jones and Logan Thomas (IR/hamstring) are unavailable for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Sean McKeon TE | IND
Cowboys' Sean McKeon: Makes first two grabs of NFL career
McKeon caught both his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons.
With Blake Jarwin (hip) on injured reserve, McKeon has slid into the No. 2 tight end role for Dallas, and Sunday's receptions were the first of his career. The second-year player will retain a bit part in a potent Cowboys offense until Jarwin gets healthy, making McKeon a potential deep league dart throw Week 11 against Kansas City.
