Hudson (ankle) was activated from injured reserve by the Titans on Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Hudson missed six games with an ankle injury but returned to practice this week. The 24-year-old made three appearances for the Titans earlier in the year and secured three of five targets for 31 yards.

Schreck was elevated from the Bengals' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Schreck has yet to make his season debut but will be available as depth at tight end after Mitchell Wilcox (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. The 28-year-old Schreck has been targeted just once across the last three seasons.

Smith (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Smith was a limited participant at practice Friday and Saturday and will carry an injury designation ahead of Monday night's game. Even if he's able to suit up, he's unlikely to have a significant role in the Giants' offense.

Cager has been elevated to the Browns' active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

Cager was just activated off the practice squad's reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus. He will now help provide depth at receiver in Week 11. With Anthony Schwartz (concussion) ruled out and Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) questionable, he could potentially see some snaps right away.

Brown (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

After upgrading to full participation in practice Friday, Brown was cleared for a return to the lineup following a two-game, three-week absence on account of the thigh injury. Before being sidelined, Brown had served as the Texans' top tight end, playing more than half of the team's offensive snaps in each of his seven appearances. During that stretch, Brown wasn't much of a contributor in the passing game, cobbling together a 12-114-0 receiving line on 18 targets.

Daniels (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Daniels was a limited participant in the Cardinals' first two Week 11 practices on account of the shoulder injury, but he gained clearance for Sunday after practicing fully Friday, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. He'll likely serve as the No. 2 tight end behind starter Zach Ertz this weekend, with Daniels being deployed primarily as a blocker.

Hill (foot) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Trevor Siemian is locked in for a third straight start at quarterback regardless, but Hill always looms as a threat to poach red-zone snaps, even if he's not quite 100 percent. He had two pass attempts and three carries while playing 31 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps in last week's 23-21 loss to Tennessee, while Siemian attempted 34 passes (plus four sacks) while playing 93 percent of the snaps. A Week 11 absence for Hill would slightly improve the volume and touchdown-scoring outlook for Siemian and other key Saints.

Everett (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Though the groin injury prevented Everett from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, the Seahawks were comfortable enough with his health coming out of Friday's session to give him the green light for the Week 11 matchup. At least for one game, Seattle's top tight end was the main beneficiary of Russell Wilson's (finger) return from a four-week absence in last week's 17-0 loss to the Packers. Everett set new season highs in receptions (eight), receiving yards (63) and targets (eight) in that game.

Smith (knee) was limited during Friday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

After not practicing Thursday, Smith was able to return in a limited fashion Friday. However, he will likely have to log a full practice Saturday, if he wants to avoid a game-time decision tag heading into Monday's clash with Tampa Bay.

Goedert has been removed from concussion protocol and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

It was a good Friday for Goedert, who agreed to a four-year contract extension in the morning and was cleared to play in the afternoon after practicing. He'll soon become one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league, with Philadelphia presumably banking on his receiving production to improve now that he's not losing snaps and targets to Zach Ertz. The 26-year-old Goedert has been freed for an every-down role since Ertz was traded to Arizona, but at the same time, the Eagles have become far more focused on their rushing attack, with Jalen Hurts attempting only 54 passes over the past three games. Goedert accounts for 15 of those targets (27.7 percent) despite missing the final three quarters of last week's game after a hard hit from Broncos safety Justin Simmons left him in concussion protocol. Goedert likely will be back in his every-down role Sunday against the Saints, new contract in hand and hoping to help the Eagles top a fellow NFC wild-card hopeful.
