Kolar (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Kolar fractured his forearm during the Chargers' Week 2 loss to the Raiders. He'll miss a second consecutive game due to his injury, but the positive news for the fifth-year tight end is that he ended Week 4 prep with a limited practice Friday. Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after Friday's session that Kolar is "doing everything and anything possible" to return to the field, and he could return as soon as Week 5 against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 11. For now, Oronde Gadsden will serve as the Chargers' TE1, with Hayden Rucci also in the mix for offensive snaps.

Boerkircher (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Bengals.

Boerkircher was held out of Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he's passed his ailment and will be available to play Sunday. The rookie second-rounder has one catch (on two targets) for nine yards through three regular-season games while serving as the Jaguars' TE2 behind Brenton Strange.

The Rams placed Ferguson (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.

Ferguson underwent X-rays on an ankle injury during this past Sunday's loss at Denver, and while he was able to return to the contest, he then didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday before being ruled out for Week 4 action. With Ferguson out for at least the next four games and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's road matchup with the Eagles, Davis Allen, Tyler Higbee and rookie second-round pick Max Klare are the current healthy TEs on L.A.'s active roster.

Raridon (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Raridon was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 4 prep, which was enough for the rookie third-rounder to draw the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC East showdown. If Raridon is cleared to play, then he would slot behind Hunter Henry on the tight end depth chart ahead of Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin.

The Rams placed Ferguson (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.

Ferguson underwent X-rays on an ankle injury during this past Sunday's loss at Denver, and while he was able to return to the contest, he then didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday before being ruled out for Week 4 action.

Fant (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Fant maintained his activity level for a second session in a row, giving him just one more chance to get back to full this week. Saturday's injury report will reveal if he's in danger of missing Monday's game against the Falcons due to his abdominal issue.

Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

With Goedert set to miss another game while recovering from the sprained MCL in his right knee and Devonta Smith set to miss with a hamstring injury, Philadelphia will need to lean heavily on Dontayvion Wicks and first-round rookie Makai Lemon to key the passing game. Goedert has yet to practice since suffering his injury in Week 2 against the Titans and remains week-to-week.

Sadiq (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

After logging limited practices earlier in the week, Sadiq now carries a questionable tag into Week 4. With Mason Taylor (thumb) already ruled out against Chicago, Sadiq's status bears monitoring over the next 48 hours. If he's cleared to play, the rookie tight end should once again have a significant pass-catching role after posting his first career 100-yard receiving game with a touchdown last Sunday against the Lions.

Parkinson (shoulder/knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Parkinson will not practice Friday and will log three DNPs for the week, but the Rams are leaving the light on for him to play Week 4, especially after Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was already ruled out for the contest. If Parkinson can't go, Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen would be in line for substantial roles, and rookie Max Klare could even see some action on offense.

Ferguson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Ferguson sprained his ankle last Sunday night against the Broncos and didn't practice at all this week, so this comes as no surprise. If Colby Parkinson (shoulder/knee) can play through his injuries, the Rams would be in better shape at tight end. If not, Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen figure to see heavy snaps against the Eagles.
