The Packers signed Castles to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Castles joined Green Bay's practice squad in November, but he did not make an appearance in a single regular-season game. The 26-year-old will participate in the Packers' offseason activities and compete for a spot on their active roster next season.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Kincaid (lower leg) wearing a walking boot after Sunday's 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round was "precautionary," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

McDermott said Kincaid "should be fine" for Saturday's upcoming divisional-round road matchup against the Broncos, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, but the third-year tight end's activity level at practice will be worth monitoring. Kincaid secured three of five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown versus Jacksonville, which was the sixth time across the 2025 campaign that he and quarterback Josh Allen have connected for a receiving score. The 28 offensive snaps Kincaid handled versus the Jaguars marks his largest workload since Week 5 of the regular season.

Tremble caught all three of his targets for 22 yards during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams.

Tremble made his presence felt during the Panthers' wild-card loss, finishing as the team's third-leading receiver while hauling in all of his targets. The fifth-year pro from Notre Dame signed a two-year extension with Carolina last offseason and quickly validated the move, setting career highs in both receptions (27) and yards (249) during the 2025 season. With Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) and Mitchell Evans all under contract for 2026, Carolina's tight-end room will likely remain crowded heading into next season.

Kraft (knee) said Monday that he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from surgery to repair a torn ACL and hopes to be "bulletproof" by Week 1 of the 2026 season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Kraft noted that the Green Bay training staff generally recommends a nine-month recovery timeframe to rehab from ACL tears, and the Packers' Week 1 game would be about 10 months post-surgery. The athletic tight end emerged as a leader in the receiving game to kick off the 2025 campaign, recording an impressive 32-489-6 receiving line across his eight appearances. However, the Packers were without wideouts Jayden Reed and Christian Watson for the majority of those contests. Kraft may open training camp on the PUP list, but if he's indeed able to enter Week 1 at full health, he'll project to immediately reprise a key role in what may be an improved aerial attack for the Packers.

Pierre signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Pierre's sticking around after spending the 2025 season on Carolina's practice squad. Despite underwhelming production from Carolina's tight ends in 2025, Pierre didn't get the opportunity to make his NFL regular-season debut.

Hudson finished the 2025 regular season with 19 catches for 168 yards and two touchdowns on 24 targets.

Hudson recorded exactly 19 catches for a second consecutive season while setting career highs in both games played (15) and touchdowns (two). The seven-year NFL veteran will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after spending the last three seasons in Cincinnati.

Sample caught 15 of 20 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown and added a three-yard run during the 2025 regular season.

Sample played in all 17 regular-season games for a third consecutive campaign, all of which he finished with between 106 and 163 receiving yards. His three-year, $10.5 million contract with the Bengals runs through Sample's age-30 season in 2026.

Hawes wasn't targeted during Sunday's 27-24 wild-card game win over the Jaguars.

Hawes played 35 percent of offensive snaps compared to 48 percent for Dawson Knox and 44 percent for Dalton Kincaid. Despite the similar playing time, Hawes was far less involved in the passing game, as each of Buffalo's other two tight ends notched three catches. Hawes will continue to fill a role as a highly effective blocker in the AFC divisional round against the Broncos.

Thomas finished the 2025 season with 13 receptions for 114 yards on 13 targets over 15 games.

After spending seven seasons in Carolina, Thomas produced a first down on five of his 13 catches with the Raiders while providing depth and blocking reps behind fellow tight ends Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer. Thomas, who turns 30 years old in June, will be an unrestricted free agent again this offseason.

Gadsden had three receptions on as many targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots.

Gadsden's pedestrian receiving line was actually good enough for second amongst Los Angeles receiving options in a dismal passing display on the road against New England. The 22-year-old still can hang his hat on overachieving during the regular season, as he produced a 49-664-3 receiving line after being taken in the fifth round of April's NFL Draft. Gadsden never relinquished his grasp on the starting job once he took over for an injured Will Dissly in Week 4. The Syracuse product is in prime position to thrive in his sophomore season when he begins the 2026 campaign as the Chargers' starting tight end.
