  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Three catches in loss

    Okonkwo caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Houston.

    Okonkwo led the way for his team with 56 receiving yards, which was his highest total since Week 3. The tight end has now registered multiple receptions in three straight contests and eight of 10 games overall this season, but he has still yet to find the end zone. Okonkwo will look to find paydirt in Week 12 against the Seahawks.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Active in Week 11

    Wright (ankle) is active for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

    In the first contest without No. 1 TE Sam LaPorta (back) after the Lions placed him on IR on Saturday, Wright will have a chance for an increased role in the offense along with Ross Dwelley for at least the next four outings. Coach Dan Campbell spoke of his trust in Wright on Friday, saying it's "sky high," per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site. Wright managed two limited practices (Thursday/Friday) during Week 11 prep, but it won't impact his availability Sunday. Through nine games this season, he's hauled in nine of 11 targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Hurts ankle Sunday

    Higbee injured his ankle during Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Prior to limping off the field late in the third quarter, Higbee had one catch (on two targets) for 23 yards. The TE trio of Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson will fill in for Higbee for as long as he's sidelined.

  • Bears' Colston Loveland: Posts 40 yards in Week 11

    Loveland caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.

    Loveland was outproduced slightly by Cole Kmet (five catches on five targets for 45 yards), as the two tight ends were two of three players to reach 40 receiving yards for the Bears, along with Rome Odunze (two catches for 41 yards on six targets). Loveland's impact in the passing game has grown in recent weeks, but Chicago has also shifted to a more run-first approach during that stretch. The rookie 10th overall pick has 213 receiving yards in his last three games heading into Chicago's Week 12 home game against the Steelers.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Four catches in victory

    Washington caught four of five targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals.

    Washington was able to able to match his season high in catches while recording a new season-best 67 yards through the air. The tight end notched the majority of his yardage on a 31-yard catch and run in the second quarter. Washington has now compiled nine catches for 125 yards over the last three weeks. The 300-plus pound tight end will look to keep it rolling in Chicago against the Bears in Week 12.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Commanders' Zach Ertz: Four grabs in loss to Miami

    Ertz caught four of eight targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

    The veteran tight end tied Deebo Samuel for the team lead in targets, but the wideout did a lot more (7-74-1) with his volume. Ertz was also the intended target on Marcus Mariota's only interception of the afternoon on the first play of OT, setting up Miami's winning field goal. Ertz will head into a Week 12 bye with a 39-387-4 line on 57 targets, and his role in the offense seems secure regardless of whether Mariota or Jayden Daniels (elbow) is under center in Week 13 against the Broncos.

  • Feleipe Franks TE | ATL

    Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Cleared to play vs. Carolina

    Franks (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Franks appeared to sustain a foot injury during Week 11 prep, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt after going through pregame warmups. He has mostly contributed on special teams this season and will serve as the Falcons' No. 4 tight end behind Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner and Teagan Quitoriano.

  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Active versus Titans

    Stover (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Stover was activated from injured reserve Saturday and is officially ready to suit up for Sunday's contest as the No. 2 TE behind Dalton Schultz. In Stover's only regular-season game in the 2025 campaign, he logged 36 offensive snaps where he caught all four of his targets for 22 yards. The tight end's return should open up more options for Davis Mills and the Texans' offense.

  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Broncos' Marcedes Lewis: Elevated from practice squad

    The Broncos elevated Lewis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

    It's the third consecutive week that the veteran tight end has been elevated to the active roster, and he will be available for Sunday's game against the Chiefs as the Broncos' TE3 behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman. Lewis didn't see a target from Bo Nix through his first two appearances with Denver.

  • Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Pharaoh Brown: Elevated from practice squad

    The Cardinals elevated Brown from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Brown caught on with the Cardinals' practice squad in mid-October after failing to make the Dolphins' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. If he's active for Sunday's NFC West tilt against the 49ers, then Brown would serve as the Cardinals' TE4 behind Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Josiah Deguara. Brown appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Seahawks in 2024, when he split his snaps between offense and special teams while hauling in eight passes (on 12 targets) for 65 yards.
