  • Kevin Foelsch TE | PIT

    Steelers' Kevin Foelsch: Picked up again by Pittsburgh

    The Steelers signed Foelsch on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Less than a week after being waived by Pittsburgh, Foelsch is now getting another chance with the team. He's still probably on the outside looking in in terms of earning a spot on the final 53-man roster for 2025, as Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington are projected to occupy the top three slots on the depth chart at tight end.

  • Brevin Jordan TE | HOU

    Texans' Brevin Jordan: Suffers knee injury at practice

    Jordan (knee) was carted off the practice field Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Jordan appears to have potentially suffered a significant injury at practice Monday, though the Texans haven't yet provided an official update on his health. The tight end entered training camp as a full participant after having suffered a season-ending ACL tear Week 2 of the 2024 campaign, and he's been competing with Cade Stover and Irv Smith for reserve duties behind incumbent starting tight end Dalton Schultz.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Logs lone reception

    Musgrave was targeted twice and caught one pass for one yard in Saturday's 30-10 exhibition loss to the Jets.

    Musgrave and top tight end Tucker Kraft both started Saturday's preseason opener, but the former played only nine snaps and the latter 10 before calling it a night. Kraft will be Green Bay's top tight end following a stellar sophomore season, but Musgrave -- who also is entering his third season -- is the favorite to occupy the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Returns to practice

    Otton (hamstring) is participating in practice Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Otton has missed roughly two weeks of practice, plus Tampa Bay's preseason opener against Tennessee on Aug. 9, due to a lingering hamstring injury, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field. It remains to be seen whether Otton is limited or practicing in full, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Buccaneers opt to ramp up the starting TE's activity level in his return to the field. Otton's next opportunity to suit up for preseason reps will arrive Saturday versus the Steelers.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Suits up for preseason loss

    Johnson (groin) played with the first-team offense during New Orleans' 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Johnson didn't tally a counting stat while suiting up for just nine offensive snaps Sunday, but his participation serves as confirmation that he's recovered from the groin injury that sidelined him for roughly one week of training camp. As things currently stand in the Saints' tight end corps, with both Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Johnson is operating as the team's No. 1 option at the position without much competition for touches.

  • Devin Culp TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Pair of grabs in preseason opener

    Culp secured two of four targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.

    The athletic tight end carried over a bit of the momentum he'd been building during training camp practices, finishing as one of five Bucs players to record multiple catches on the night. Both of Culp's receptions came on connections with Kyle Trask and occurred on the final drive of the first half, and given how much new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard has talked up the second-year pro's potential, Culp is likely to see extended opportunity over Tampa Bay's two remaining preseason contests.

  • Josh Whyle TE | GB

    Titans' Josh Whyle: Slipping down depth chart

    Whyle recorded one catch on two targets for seven yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    Whyle appeared third on the Titans' initial depth chart, and his usage Saturday backed that up. He wasn't targeted until the fourth quarter and played behind both Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm. Whyle was reportedly on the roster bubble entering training camp, and his usage at the very least suggests his primary role could come on special teams if he sticks in Tennessee.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Sees one target while starter rests

    Conklin failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 27-13 preseason win over New Orleans.

    Conklin was the first tight end to see action with starter Will Dissly sitting out the Chargers' second exhibition. The seven-year pro figures to assume the No. 2 role come Week 1, with Sunday's playing time distribution all but confirming that. Conklin doesn't offer much fantasy upside at this point of his career, especially in a backup role for his new squad.

  • Giants' Thomas Fidone: Three catches versus Bills

    Fidone (undisclosed) caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason win over the Bills.

    Fidone was hampered by an undisclosed injury throughout the week, but he was able to give it a go in the team's first preseason contest. The tight end is competing for a reserve role in 2025, and he'll look to build off of Saturday's performance moving forward.

  • Mason Pline TE | NO

    Saints' Mason Pline: Injured on Sunday

    Pline exited Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers with an undisclosed upper-body injury, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Pline was favoring his upper body as he walked off the field with the training staff, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Pline was just claimed off waivers from the 49ers earlier in the week. He wasn't targeted in the exhibition prior to his injury.
