  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Medically claeared for camp

    Pitts (foot) is medically cleared for training camp, although Falcons coach Raheem Morris said the tight end may have "modifications" to his practice plan early on, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Pitts was present for Atlanta's offseason program but didn't practice, with reports suggesting a foot injury was responsible for his lack of activity. It sounds like he'll have plenty of time to ramp up for Week 1 as he prepares for the fifth and final season of his rookie contract, subject to the lowest expectations of his career after failing to break out (again) in 2024 under a new coaching staff.

  • Mark Redman TE | LAR

    Rams' Mark Redman: Sidelined to begin camp

    Redman (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Redman joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent this spring. He faces an uphill battle to make the roster, and beginning camp on the sidelines won't help his cause.

  • Brevin Jordan TE | HOU

    Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to practice

    Jordan (knee) made his practice debut Wednesday, Jonathan Alexander and Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Jordan tore his ACL in Week 2 of the 2024 season and has been progressively ramping up. He returned to the practice field to catch a pass from C.J. Stroud during Wednesday's practice and appears to be tracking toward a Week 1 return.

  • Jared Wiley TE | KC

    Chiefs' Jared Wiley: Past knee injury

    Wiley (knee) has participated in training camp practices this week, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Wiley missed the second half of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL in November. The 2024 fourth-rounder participated in positional drills during minicamp in June, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to increase his workload in training camp. Wiley is battling against Noah Gray and Robert Tonyan for backup tight end duties behind Travis Kelce.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Being eased back by Dolphins

    Coach Mike McDaniel noted Wednesday that Waller's placement on the PUP list is standard procedure for players coming out of retirement, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    With that in mind, McDaniel indicated that the team is simply taking a preventative and responsible approach by easing Waller into the mix. In terms of the tight end's physical readiness at the onset of training camp, McDaniel added, "this is a well-conditioned athlete who's in great shape." Once Waller re-takes the field, he'll have an opportunity to fill the void created by the trade of fellow TE Jonnu Smith (88 catches for Miami in 2024), who was traded to the Steelers last month.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Should return in 3-to-4 weeks

    Panthers coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Tremble (back) won't practice soon but could be ready in 3-to-4 weeks, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Tremble is on the active/PUP list for the start of training camp, and it sounds like he may remain there until mid-August or so, which puts his Week 1 availability into question. He had a procedure on his back in May, two months after re-signing with the Panthers on a two-year contract. Tremble is mostly known for his blocking, with 85 career catches in 61 games, while 2024 fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders is the favorite to be Carolina's top pass-catching TE.

  • Dawson Knox TE | BUF

    Bills' Dawson Knox: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Knox will miss Wednesday's opening training camp practice due to a hamstring issue, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    On Wednesday, coach Sean McDermott didn't provide a timetable for the tight end's return to the field, with the team taking it "one day at a time" with injured players such as Knox. The 2019 third-rounder was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Bills on Tuesday, but he can be activated at any time, once he's ready to resume practice.

  • Tyler Mabry TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tyler Mabry: Catches on with Carolina

    The Panthers signed Mabry to a contract Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Mabry spent the previous five campaigns in Seattle's organization and got into 12 regular-season games, catching his lone target for a seven-yard touchdown in 2022. He'll get a chance to compete for a depth role in the Panthers' tight-end corps, though he'll likely need to make a strong impression to make the season-opening roster.

  • Dallin Holker: No longer with New Orleans

    The Saints waived Holker on Tuesday, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

    Holker originally signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024 and tallied three catches on four targets for 21 yards as a rookie. The Colorado State product got into 12 games last year but didn't seem likely to garner a bigger role this season since the Saints have four veteran tight ends (Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill (knee), Foster Moreau (knee) and Jack Stoll) on the roster.

  • Dawson Knox TE | BUF

    Bills' Dawson Knox: Placed on NFI list by Bills

    Knox (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Bills on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    An undisclosed injury will delay Knox from joining his teammates on the field in training camp, but once the tight end is ready to practice, he can be activated from the NFI list at any time. When available, Knox, who caught 22 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown (33 targets) in 16 regular-season games in 2024, is part of Buffalo's 1-2 punch at TE, along with 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid.
