Pryor (quadriceps) was on the field participating in Thursday's practice, Ashley Landis of hjnews.com reports.

Pryor missed part of the Texans' OTAs in early June due to a quadriceps injury. The tight end has since recovered from the issue and is a full participant in training camp as he attempts to move up the depth chart and survive cutdown day. The 23-year-old out of Iowa has yet to play in an NFL game.

Kieft (leg) is on the field participating in the Buccaneers' training camp activities.

Kieft injured his leg in Week 3 of the 2025 season and was unable to finish out the last year of his contract with the Buccaneers. He signed another one-year deal with the team in March and is ready to pick up where he left off as a blocking tight end and special-teams asset.

All (knee) passed his conditioning test and is all set to participate in training camp, Dan Hoard of the Bengals' official site reports.

All underwent multiple knee surgeries for an ACL injury that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. The 2024 fourth-rounder will be competing with Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample to serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Mike Gesicki.

Briningstool (hamstring) is participating in training camp, Jared Sapp of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports that Briningstool caught a great ball from Garrett Nussmeier on Wednesday and appears to be back in playing shape. The tight end missed the 2025 season due to a persistent hamstring injury.

Kelce was one of Kansas City's standout performers on the first day of training camp, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

"He looked pretty good," head coach Andy Reid said of Kelce. "He stayed in shape." Kelce had an eventful offseason ahead of his 14th NFL seasons, as he married Taylor Swift on July 3. The 36-year-old tight end recorded at least 823 regular-season receiving yards in each of the previous 12 campaigns.

Stowers (lower body) is practicing at the first week of training camp, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The rookie second-round pick missed a few spring practices with an unspecified lower body injury. Now healthy, Stowers will have the next few weeks to make his case for a role in Philadelphia's offense. Dallas Goedert returns as the starter and has a long track record of handling huge snap shares.

All (knee) has been cleared to participate at training camp in a limited capacity, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.

It's an encouraging update for All, who was sidelined for the entire 2025 campaign after complications from a surgery to repair a ruptured ACL he suffered in November of 2024. He'll be competing with veteran Tanner Hudson and rookie seventh-rounder Jack Endries for positioning on the bottom half of the tight end depth chart in 2026.

The Commanders released Firkser on Wednesday.

Firkser signed with the Commanders in early June, marking yet another stop on the veteran tight end's journey throughout the NFL. The 31-year-old has spent time with the Titans, Falcons, Lions, Chiefs and Jets as well. The Harvard journeyman, not to be confused with Ryan Fitzpatrick, will now be an unrestricted free agent available to sign with any team.

Evans has been diagnosed with a low ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

The Panthers got another injury scare when Evans had to be carted off the field Tuesday, but Evans avoided a serious injury. The 23-year-old was a fifth-round pick last year and secured 19 of 25 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.

Fannin (groin) said Wednesday that he will be "full-go" for training camp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, Fannin said he missed the Browns' offseason workout program due to a procedure to address a groin injury he sustained in Week 17 of the 2025 campaign. However, the tight end noted Wednesday that he was cleared about two weeks ago and is thus ready to reclaim his role as the team's top option at his position, a context that should result in weekly fantasy utility for the 2025 third-rounder, regardless of who between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders wins the team's ongoing QB competition.
