  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Sidesteps injury designation

    Goedert (rest/ankle) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 versus the Chiefs.

    Goedert is dealing with an ankle injury for a second straight week, as he was held out of all drills during the first week of Super Bowl prep. As the situation currently stands, he doesn't appear to be in danger of missing the final game of the campaign. Considering his recent practice regimens, though, Goedert may have some limitations once the Eagles arrive in New Orleans next week, meaning his status will continue to be monitored to get a sense of his level of health.

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: DNP on Thursday

    Goedert (rest/ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

    For a second week in a row, Goedert has been listed as a non-participant on the first two Eagles injury reports due to an ankle issue. Last week, he was able to cap it with a full session and enter the weekend without a designation for the NFC Championship Game, when he handled an 82 percent snap share en route to seven catches (on eight targets) for 85 yards in a 55-23 win against the Commanders. With more than a week to prepare for a Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9, Goedert has plenty of time to prove the health of his ankle in advance of that contest.

  • Nick Muse TE | LAR

    Nick Muse: Cut from Philly's practice squad

    The Eagles cut Muse from the practice squad Thursday.

    Muse spent the second half of the 2024 regular season on the Vikings' practice squad after being waived from the 53-man roster in late November. The 2022 seventh-round pick was added to Philadelphia's practice squad Jan. 22 to provide additional depth at tight end. Muse's removal makes room on the Eagles' practice squad for running back Lew Nichols.

  • C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI

    Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Practice window opened

    The Eagles have opened up the practice window for Uzomah (abdomen) ahead of the Super Bowl.

    Uzomah, who suffered an abdominal injury during Week 17 action, will thus have an opportunity to resume practicing ahead of the Eagles' Feb. 9 contest against the Chiefs. If Uzomah is activated ahead of the Super Bowl, he'd bolster the depth of a Philadelphia tight end corps that's currently led by Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. Prior to his injury, Uzomah was not targeted during the seven regular-season games that he played in.

  • Falcons' Charlie Woerner: Sees snap count steadily increase

    Woerner caught seven passes (on 12 targets) for 46 yards across 16 regular-season games in 2024.

    Woerner signed a three-year, $12 million contract with Atlanta in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with San Francisco. He firmly operated as the Falcons' No. 2 tight end for most of the 2024 campaign behind Kyle Pitts. Woerner saw his playing time on offense increase following the Week 12 bye, playing at least 30 offensive snaps over the final six games of the regular season and logging five catches (on eight targets) for 29 yards over that span. He also registered four tackles (two solo) while contributing on special teams.

  • Zach Davidson TE | NYG

    Bills' Zach Davidson: Staying in Buffalo

    The Bills signed Davidson to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

    Davidson spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Bills' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated for three regular-season games, playing both offense and special teams and logging one catch (on two targets) for five yards. Davidson will be on Buffalo's 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12, which will allow him to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Estimated as non-participant

    Goedert (rest/ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    An ankle issue affected Goedert's practice participation ahead of this past Sunday's 55-23 win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, but he approached that contest without an injury designation and ending up logging 58 of 71 snaps on offense while catching seven of his eight targets for 85 yards and carrying twice for 13 yards. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Goedert's listed absence Wednesday was likely a result of the Eagles managing his reps. He's not expected to face any limitations in the Eagles' Feb. 9 Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs.

  • Nikola Kalinic TE | ATL

    Falcons' Nikola Kalinic: Gets opportunity in Atlanta

    The Falcons signed Kalinic to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Matt Urben of USA Today reports.

    Kalinic suited up for two games with the Rams in 2024, while also spending time on Los Angeles' practice squad. He contributed exclusively on special teams (28 snaps) in that span. Now, the journeyman tight end will get a chance to continue his development with the Falcons this offseason.

  • Packers' John FitzPatrick: Fits in with Green Bay

    FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for two yards across nine games in the 2024 regular season.

    FitzPatrick got some opportunities after being scooped off Atlanta's practice squad in October, but he wound up playing only 69 snaps on offense and was an afterthought in the passing game. It remains to be seen if Green Bay will retain FitzPatrick over the offseason, but if it does, he will compete for a roster spot during training camp.

  • Ben Sims TE | MIN

    Packers' Ben Sims: Remains in bit role

    Sims was targeted five times and caught four passes for 42 yards across 17 games in the 2024 season.

    Sims appeared in every regular-season game the Packers played in 2024 and served as the backup tight end while Luke Musgrave missed 10 weeks, but he was mainly limited to blocking duties. The Packers know what they have in the third-year player, which bodes well for his chances of retaining a roster spot in 2025. However, chances are Green Bay will look to bring in at least another option behind starting tight end Tucker Kraft.
