Darrell Daniels TE | DET
Colts' Darell Daniels: Out Sunday
Daniels (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt versus the Titans.
Daniels' absence Sunday will mark the first missed game of his young career. As a result, Brandon Williams will be the only tight end on the Colts roster to provide depth behind Jack Doyle. The rookie will look to recover in time for a Week 13 return.

Jimmy Graham TE | NO
Seahawks' Jimmy Graham: Practices fully Friday
Graham (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at San Francisco, was a full practice participant Friday.
Graham was held out of drills Wednesday and Thursday, but after logging every rep to wrap up Week 12 prep, he was given the thumb's up from head coach Pete Carroll, who said the tight end is "fine," according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Barring a setback, Graham should be available this weekend against a 49ers defense that has allowed a tight-end touchdown in each f the last four games.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Cleared to face 'Hawks
Kittle (leg) does not have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
San Francisco's bye week gave Kittle plenty of time to recover from the leg injury that held him out Week 10 against the Giants. He'll likely step back in ahead of Garrett Celek as the Niners' No. 1 tight end, but the job hasn't equated with much volume or production since Kittle caught 11 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets in a two-game stretch Weeks 5 and 6. He's since been held to three of fewer catches for 27 yards or less in each appearance, though Celek did manage a 4-67-1 receiving line in a prime matchup with the Giants when Kittle was out.

Jimmy Graham TE | NO
Seahawks' Jimmy Graham: Listed as questionable with ankle
Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Tim Booth of The Associated Press reports.
Graham appeared to injure his ankle in Monday's 34-31 loss to the Falcons, but he re-entered the contest and finished with seven catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. His ability to return suggests the injury isn't serious, but the Seahawks nonetheless held him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. Another update will be available once the Seahawks reveal whether Graham participated (and to what extent) in Friday's practice.

Evan Engram TE | DEN
Giants' Evan Engram: Has rough Thanksgiving outing
Engram was targeted seven times in Thursday's 20-10 loss the Redskins and managed just 18 yards on three receptions.
After tallying just nine yards on one reception in Week 11, Engram failed to bounce back Thursday. Most concerning was that he suffered a few drops on catchable balls. The talented rookie may be suffering from a lack of weapons on offense, as opposing defenses are able to focus more on him. He will look to turn things around next week against the Raiders.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Chargers' Hunter Henry: Catches touchdown in win
Henry caught all five of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-6 win over the Cowboys.
The Chargers offense as a whole was efficient, with quarterback Philip Rivers throwing for 434 yards in the win. Henry certainly factored into that equation, compiling 76 yards, more than he had combined in the three weeks prior. His lack of red zone targets will likely hamper his ceiling, but given the Chargers offensive explosion in the last few weeks, Henry remains a useful fantasy tight end, particularly next Sunday against the lowly Browns.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Practices fully Thursday
Kittle (leg) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Kittle injured his leg Week 9 and was promptly ruled out for the ensuing contest. After utilizing the 49ers' bye, he progressed from limited Wednesday to uncapped one day later, clearing him to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks. Considering he leads all San Francisco tight ends in usage -- 42 targets versus 21 total between Garrett Celek and Cole Hikutini (knee) -- Kittle shouldn't have a problem reincorporating himself into the offense.

Tyler Kroft TE | MIA
Bengals' Tyler Kroft: Practices fully Thursday
Kroft (hand) practiced fully Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Though Kroft has logged just three catches for 16 yards over his last two games, he did score in Week 11 against the Broncos. He's a reasonable lineup option at the tight end position in deeper formats this week, considering that he'll see plenty of snaps against a beatable Cleveland pass defense Sunday.
-
Jimmy Graham TE | NO
Seahawks' Jimmy Graham: No go Wednesday
Graham was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report due to an ankle injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
In his third season with the Seahawks, Graham's red-zone prowess is beginning to mimic that of his time with the Saints. He's scored seven touchdowns over the last six games, during which he's been targeted 18 times in the red zone. Regarding his health, Graham has appeared on the injury report almost weekly this season, so his availability for Sunday's game at San Francisco won't really be in much question unless he doesn't log a full practice by week's end.

Tyler Kroft TE | MIA
Bengals' Tyler Kroft: Limited with hand injury
Kroft (hand) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Kroft injured his hand in the second half of Sunday's 20-17 win over the Broncos, finishing with two catches for 12 yards and a touchdown on three targets while playing 86 percent of Cincinnati's offensive snaps. With no details provided by the team since Sunday, it appears the tight end is just dealing with a minor injury ahead of Sunday's favorable matchup with the Browns. Kroft enjoyed a career-best performance against Cleveland in Week 4, catching six of seven targets for 68 yards and two scores in a 31-7 victory.
