Briningstool (hamstring) didn't participate in Kansas City's practice Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Briningstool is reportedly dealing with a hamstring strain, and there's currently no timeline for his return. The 22-year-old signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in April and will face an uphill battle to make the team's final roster once healthy.

The Chiefs activated Watson (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Watson signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in April and is now healthy again after having been sidelined for the start of training camp. While the 22-year-old faces an uphill battle to make the team's final roster, he could be a candidate to land on the practice squad.

Ferguson and the Cowboys agreed Sunday on a four-year, $52 million extension, with $30 million guaranteed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Ferguson has taken hold of Dallas' No. 1 tight-end role since posting a quiet 2022 rookie campaign, though he saw his numbers drop last year and didn't score a touchdown all season. That can be at least partly attributed to Dak Prescott missing over half the campaign due to injury, though, as the pair has worked well together when Prescott has been healthy. Ferguson ranked second on the Cowboys last season with 86 targets, but there could be less looks to go around in 2025 with George Pickens now in the fold alongside returning target-hog CeeDee Lamb. Nonetheless, with Prescott back to health, Ferguson could be in for a bounce-back campaign, and the Cowboys clearly see him as an important part of their future given the length and amount of the extension.

Stephens (knee) is participating in Dallas' training camp, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Stephens is practicing again after having recovered from a torn ACL he suffered in practice last October. The 2023 undrafted free agent has yet to appear in a regular-season game but will have a chance to make his debut should he earn a spot on the team's final roster.

Smith (undisclosed) did limited individual drills at Friday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Smith is considered day to day with an unspecified injury. Acquired in a late-June trade, Smith has only done light individual work during his first two practices in Pittsburgh. He and Pat Freiermuth give the Steelers an impressive pass-catching duo at tight end, but it remains to be seen if one of the two can take a large enough share of the targets to be worth starting in fantasy. Smith caught fire for Miami last October and stayed hot through the end of the year, ultimately catching more passes over the final eight games (53) than he'd caught in any of his previous seven NFL seasons (max. 50). His second-best receiving campaign was the year before, 2023 in Atlanta, where he put up 50-582-3 on 70 targets under current Steelers playcaller Arthur Smith.

All (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2025 season, James Rapien of SI.com reports.

All is present for training camp, but merely as an observer with a large brace around his right knee. He tore the ACL in his right knee both of the past two seasons, limiting him to seven games in his final collegiate campaign and nine appearances as an NFL rookie. The 2024 fourth-round pick apparently will take his rehab slower this time, focusing on 2026 and beyond rather than trying to make it back at some point this season.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that the Packers "absolutely" believe they can get Kraft more involved in the downfield passing game this season, Mark Oldacres of USA Today reports.

Among 45 qualified tight ends last season, Kraft's average depth of target (4.7 yards) was 42nd at the position. He did most of his work on underneath looks at or close to the line of scrimmage. As a result, Kraft led all NFL tight ends in yards after catch per reception (8.8 yards) and was 14th in yards per route (1.55) over 17 regular-season games. The Packers have a ton of mouths to feed in the passing offense, so getting Kraft more involved down the field may be easier said than done. Kraft is being selected as a borderline TE1 in early fantasy football drafts this summer.

General manager Nick Caserio told reporters Thursday that Stover (collarbone) has stood out during the offseason and the early portions of training camp, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.

Stover saw limited playing time during his rookie campaign, finishing with 15 catches (on 22 targets) for 133 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season games. He broke his collarbone during the Texans' wild-card win over the Chargers in January, but he has fully recovered from the injury and has made a good impression on Caserio and the coaching staff. Stover enters training camp in a competition against Brevin Jordan (knee) for backup tight end duties behind Dalton Schultz.

Smith (undisclosed) didn't participate in team drills during Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

The report notes that Smith worked in individual drills, with coach Mike Tomlin noting that the tight end is considered "day-to-day" with an unspecified injury. Once Smith is able to work fully, he'll look to build chemistry with QB Aaron Rodgers, while working as part of the Steelers' one-two TE punch, which also features Pat Freiermuth.

Falcons QB Michael Penix said Thursday that he plans to throw a lot of passes to Pitts (foot) this year, Justin Felder of FOX 5 Sports Atlanta reports.

Earlier in the day, Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Pitts was medically cleared for training camp but might have "modifications" to his practice plan after missing spring practices with a foot injury. Pitts then went out and made a bunch of big plays during the first practice of camp, prompting Penix to tell reporters there's "gonna be a lot of that" this year. It's a good sign for their chemistry, perhaps, after Pitts got just 10 targets in Penix's three starts last season, thus closing out the year with six or fewer targets in each of Atlanta's last 10 games. William McFadden of the Falcons' official site notes that Pitts mostly worked with the wide receivers (rather than tight ends) during position drills Thursday.
