Ravens' Mark Andrews: Questionable for divisional round
Andrews (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Titans.
Andrews has dealt with a knee injury and then an ankle issue since Week 14, the latter of which held him out of the Ravens' regular-season finale. Coming off the team's bye, he maintained limited practices throughout this week but still enters the weekend with a designation. Assuming he avoids the inactive list when it's released about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, he should serve as the top tight end option for Lamar Jackson.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Not donning knee brace
Kelce wasn't wearing a knee brace at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Limited on Wednesday's injury report, Kelce at least will maintain that level of participation Thursday and may even elevate to 'full.' Assuming the latter comes to pass by the end of the week, his availability for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans will be confirmed, as appears to be the expectation.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Slated to practice Thursday
Kelce (knee) will practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
It remains to be seen if he works fully or is limited Thursday, but after Kelce was limited at practice Wednesday, Teicher relayed that the tight end's knee issue shouldn't keep him out of Sunday's playoff game against the Texans.

Panthers' Chris Manhertz: Fills blocking role in 2019
Manhertz finished the 2019 season with one catch for 11 yards across 15 games.
Manhertz has featured in all but one game for the Panthers over the past three seasons, but he's never finished with more than two receptions in a given campaign. The veteran is a blocking specialist at tight end and should work in that capacity again if he breaks camp with the Panthers in 2020.

Johnny Mundt TE | PHI
Rams' Johnny Mundt: Makes four catches in 2019
Mundt hauled in four of seven targets for 26 scoreless yards over 13 games in 2019.
Mundt played more than expected since Gerald Everett battled a knee injury and missed three games, but Mundt was mainly used as a run-blocker. The 25-year-old ran a route on 49.4 percent of his snaps, and, with many skilled pass-catchers, it's not surprising that he was targeted sparingly. Mundt will be an exclusive-rights free agent in March.

Jordan Akins TE | JAC
Texans' Jordan Akins: Limited by hamstring issue
Akins (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Akins missed last weekend's wild-card win over the Bills with the injury, so he's not a lock to return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. If he's limited or remains out in Kansas City, Darren Fells would once again be in line for added snaps and targets at tight end.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Limited by knee issue
Kelce was limited at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.
Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the tight end's limitations were the result of a sore knee, but the issue "shouldn't keep" Kelce out of Sunday's playoff game against the Texans. Ideally, Kelce would erase any concern about his health heading into the divisional-round matchup by practicing fully Thursday and/or Friday.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Logs limited practice
Andrews (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Andrews will more than likely be available for Saturday's playoff game against the Titans, though it's plausible that the tight end -- who sat out the Ravens' regular-season finale along with several other key players -- will officially be listed as questionable heading into the weekend.

Tyler Conklin TE | DET
Vikings' Tyler Conklin: Shakes off injury
Conklin (knee) was a full participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Conklin had suffered the knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's wild-card win over the Saints. His full practice availability suggests that, barring a setback this week, the Central Michigan product will be ready to go for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Limited at practice
Andrews (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Though his reps were capped in the Ravens' first official practice of the postseason, Andrews looks in no real jeopardy of missing Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Titans. Andrews was sidelined for the Ravens' Week 17 win over the Steelers with a sore ankle, but his absence had more to do with Baltimore having already clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed rather than any major concern about his health.
