The Eagles placed Goedert (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Philadelphia hasn't disclosed whether Goedert has tested positive for COVID-19, but the timing of his placement on the list is notable after the tight end was listed as a non-participant for Monday's walk-through practice due to an illness. If Goedert -- who is vaccinated -- has in fact tested positive, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer notes that the 26-year-old will need to be asymptomatic and produce two negative tests 24 hours apart before rejoining the team. Given those hurdles he'll likely need to clear, Goedert looks unlikely to play Thursday against the Buccaneers, which should pave the way for Zach Ertz to see a larger share of the reps at tight end.

Gesicki secured four of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

Gesicki recorded his third game of the season with double-digit average yards per reception. The athletic tight end has drawn at least six targets in each of the last three games, and it's possible he could have Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) back in the lineup in time to face the Jaguars in Week 6.

Ertz caught one of his six targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

Ertz just couldn't connect with Jalen Hurts. The silver lining for the Stanford product is that he saw twice as many targets as Dallas Goedert on the day and has at least six in each of the last three games. The two once again played a fairly even number of snaps, with Ertz's 36 just five shy of Goedert's workload.

Alie-Cox caught three of four targets for 50 yards in Monday night's 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Alie-Cox couldn't follow up his two-touchdown outing in Week 4 with another score, but he at least caught three passes for the second straight game while posting his highest yardage total this season. Although he's a complementary target within the Colts offense, Cox has made enough plays the past couple weeks to boost his fantasy stock ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Texans.

Andrews caught 11 of 13 targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 31-25 overtime win over the Colts. He also hauled in a pair of two-point conversions.

Andrews was the lone bright spot in Baltimore's offense during the first half and carried his momentum into the second. The tight end finally scored his first touchdown of the season with a five-yarder in the fourth quarter, after which he secured the Ravens' two-point conversion. He then did the same thing on the next drive, with his second touchdown coming from a yard closer and his subsequent two-point catch occurring with merely 45 seconds left to complete a 16-point fourth-quarter comeback. Those efforts fueled an unlikely victory and marked Andrews' best performance of the campaign. With two games of at least 105 yards in his last three outings, Andrews approaches a tough Week 6 matchup versus the Chargers in fine form.

Fant secured three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

Fant played on 97 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, marking a season high for the veteran tight end. With so many injuries to Denver's pass catchers, Fant has seen his playing time increase week over week. The 23-year-old didn't see his first target in Sunday's game until the fourth quarter despite the Broncos trailing the Steelers for most of the contest. It was an unusual day in the office for Fant, as game flow seemed to favor him being more involved in the passing game. Nonetheless, the 6-foot-4, 249-pounder will look to get back on track in a Week 6 matchup against the Raiders.

Hudson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Hudson was called up for Sunday's loss to the Cardinals but played just one offensive snap. He's a candidate to return to the active roster while George Kittle (calf) is on injured reserve.

Togiaia (undisclosed) was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Togiai spent training camp with the Colts but was waived with an injury designation in late August, and he reached an injury settlement with the team shortly thereafter. Now healthy, the 24-year-old will join the Eagles as depth at tight end with Dallas Goedert (illness) sitting out practice to start the week.

Goedert (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.

Goedert was on the field for 45 of the Eagles' 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers while catching two of his three targets for 28 yards. We'll revisit the tight end's practice participation level Tuesday, but for now his status should be monitored as Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers approaches.

The Eagles released Eubanks from their practice squad Monday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Eubanks was signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent, but he was waived and latched onto the Eagles' practice squad. The Michigan product never reached the active roster and will have to look for a fresh start elsewhere.
