Dillon (ankle) was placed on the practice squad injury list Tuesday.

The 23-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Jaguars and reverted back to the practice squad Monday. Dillon will be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks while on the injury list.

Vannett caught both targets for seven yards during Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Chiefs.

The 27-year-old has played about 50 percent of the offensive snaps over the past three games and has four catches for 31 yards during that stretch. Vannett should continue to operate as Denver's secondary tight end while starter Noah Fant remains healthy.

Fumagalli reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction report.

The 25-year-old was elevated for Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and failed to catch his lone target in seven offensive snaps. Fumagalli had two catches for 12 yards in his first appearance of the season, but he's without a catch in his past three contests in limited snaps.

Tomlinson was promoted to the Ravens' active roster from the practice squad for Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

The 28-year-old was also called up for last week's loss to the Steelers, and he reverted to the practice squad after playing 16 target-less snaps on offense. Tomlinson should work as Baltimore's No. 2 tight end with Mark Andrews (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Nick Boyle (knee) on injured reserve.

Alie-Cox caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

Alie-Cox out-snapped both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton for a second straight week, logging 44 snaps on offense (64 percent). That hasn't translated into much production though. In fact, he hasn't caught more than three passes or produced more than 50 yards in a game since his Week 2 breakout against the Vikings, when he posted a 5-111-0 line. His usage sets him on the right track, but it's often Burton who gets the looks in the red zone.

Moreau was not targeted during Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

The 23-year-old is without a catch since Week 4 and hasn't been targeted since Week 8, so he's clearly not a factor in Las Vegas' passing game. Moreau should continue to see a handful of offensive snaps per contest behind Darren Waller and Jason Witten.

Conklin caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Jaguars.

With Irv Smith (back) inactive, Conklin logged a season-high 59 snaps on offense (65 percent), landing just five snaps shy of Kyle Rudolph, who finished with no receptions on two targets. Conklin's getting plenty of usage when Smith is out of the lineup. If Smith returns in Week 14 against the Buccaneers, Conklin will shift back to a reserve role.

Parkinson played just two snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Giants.

Despite Greg Olsen (foot) being placed on IR, Parkinson hasn't seen a meaningful increase in reps. He's played just 13 snaps on offense over the past two games, and he has yet to see his first NFL target.

Parham caught two of his four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 45-0 loss against the Patriots.

Parham did see a season-high in receptions (two), targets (four), yards (21) and snaps (19), but it's a byproduct of the Patriots taking away most of the Chargers' offensive options. Next week, the 23-year-old will likely revert back to his minimal role as the Chargers take on the Falcons, whose weak defense to tight ends will allow for Hunter Henry to see more opportunities.

Ertz caught two of his four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

After missing five games on IR, Ertz played 27 snaps to Dallas Goedert's 52. While an uptick in playing time can be expected over the rest of the season for the three-time Pro-Bowl tight end, he may struggle to produce useful numbers. Ertz has logged more than 42 receiving yards in a game just once in seven tries this year with only one TD.
