Andrews, who was absent from Friday's practice, is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per the report, the tight end's absence Friday was simply rest-related. We'll circle back later in the day to verify his Week 2 injury designation, or lack thereof, but it looks like Andrews -- who hauled in all eight of his targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in Week 1's blowout win over Miami -- will be available this weekend.

Kroft (broken foot) practiced on a limited basis for the third straight day Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Coach Sean McDermott says he'll see how Kroft is doing Sunday before making a decision on the tight end's status, which makes it almost a sure thing Kroft will carry a questionable status when the team's official report gets released. Either way, you don't want to start him in fantasy until he's more up to speed and getting a full starter's volume.

Dickerson (quadriceps) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Dickerson will miss his second straight game to start the season as he continues to manage the hamstring injury. Eric Tomlinson should again serve as the team's No. 3 tight end in his absence.

Andrews did not practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Andrews' absence comes as a surprise, as no injury had been previously reported. It's not yet clear why he sat out Friday, but his status will be updated further when more details become available.

Thomas was not targeted in Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers.

The 23-year-old played only two offensive snaps and has seen only six total snaps through two weeks. Chris Manhertz played 32 snaps as a blocking specialist, leaving little opportunity for Thomas while Greg Olson remains on the field.

Conklin (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Conklin sat out Week 1 and was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he now looks to have fully recovered from his ribs injury. He'll play his usual depth role behind Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith during Sunday's game against the Packers.

Graham (finger) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Graham is following a slightly different path with his reps this week, as opposed to his LP/FP/FP breakdown from Week 1. While there doesn't seem to be any worry about his availability for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Friday's injury report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation.

Parham signed with Washington's practice squad Thursday.

Parham spent much of the offseason in Washington and now resurfaces on the team's practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Stetson could be called up at some point this season in a depth capacity or to fill in on special teams.

Kroft, recovering from a broken foot, was limited for the second straight practice Thursday.

After missing most of the summer as well as the Week 1 victory against the Jets, Kroft is truly a 50-50 proposition this week as he continues to heal. Expect Sean McDermott to provide more clarity following the last practice of the week Friday.

Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Dissly (knee) will play Sunday in Pittsburgh, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Carroll's claim was backed up by the second-year tight end subsequently practicing in full, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Dissly's turnaround is a surprise after he was called "doubtful to return" Week 1 due to an issue to his right knee, which was the same knee that endured a season-ending injury in 2018. While he'll be back in action, the Seahawks may limit Dissly's workload and alternatively make TE Nick Vannett a bigger part of the game plan.
