Johnson (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Johnson's lack of participation in Friday's practice session appears to have been indicative of his playing status for Sunday's contest. The tight end will not be able to overcome his neck injury in time for Week 7 and will have to look towards the Giants' Week 9 contest against the Eagles after the bye.

Goedert (knee) is on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Goedert missed the first two practices of Week 7 prep while tending to a knee injury, but he's back on the field and in pads for Saturday's session. The Eagles are also dealing with injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), so Goedert -- if active for Monday night's game against the Cowboys -- would operate in an expanded role in the passing game if either or both of the Eagles' top two wide receivers is sidelined.

Roush is expected to get more work on offense after Cole Kmet (knee) landed on injured reserve Friday.

Roush didn't catch a pass against New England on Thursday, marking his third straight game without a reception. However, he's currently the only healthy tight end on the Bears' roster aside from starter Colston Loveland, so Roush figures to be in line for an expanded role moving forward. With that said, Loveland has logged 57 or more receiving yards and six or more catches three of the past four weeks and is clearly the Bears' go-to tight end in the passing game, so Roush's anticipated increase of offensive snaps doesn't necessarily make him a viable option in fantasy.

Raridon caught three of four targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's Week 7 loss to the Bears.

Raridon got open late in the third quarter and hauled in a nicely placed pass from Drake Maye for a 30-yard score. The rookie tight end finished third on the team with 56 receiving yards and tied for third with three receptions. Raridon is clearly behind Hunter Henry, who posted a 7-71-0 receiving line on seven targets, in the tight-end pecking order, but he's shown promise early in his career with 12 catches on 16 targets for 168 yards and two TDs through six games.

Alie-Cox will operate in an expanded role against the Vikings on Sunday due to the absence of Tyler Warren (groin), Abby Halpin of the Colts' official site reports.

Alie-Cox and Will Mallory will both operate as the top tight ends for Sunday's contest in the absence of Warren, who is missing a second-straight game due to a groin injury. Alie-Cox saw only one target in a Week 6 loss to the Titans, but he made that one catch count for a one-yard score in the first quarter.

Mallory will once again operate in an expanded role after Tyler Warren (groin) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Abby Halpin of the Colts' official site reports.

Warren will end up missing a second consecutive game while battling a groin injury, so Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox will serve as the Colts' top tight ends for Sunday's contest. Mallory turned six targets into two catches for 20 yards in a Week 6 loss to the Titans, and he finished that contest third in targets behind Keenan Allen (11) and Josh Downs (eight).

Johnson (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Johnson's practice reps in each of the first two practices of Week 7 prep were limited due to a neck injury, and he was sidelined entirely for Friday's session. He's trending toward missing a second consecutive game, so Thomas Fidone and Chris Manhertz would both be in line for more work behind Isaiah Likely in the event that Johnson is ruled out for Sunday's contest.

Jordan (foot) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Jordan likely sustained his foot injury during Thursday's practice, but the tight end was quickly able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice. Jordan is all set to suit up as a depth option at tight end in Sunday's contest.

Goedert (knee) was a non-participant at Friday's practice.

Goedert has yet to mix into drills this week due to a knee injury, which could be related to the right MCL sprain that sidelined him in Weeks 3 and 4. In any case, how he's listed on Saturday's practice report will provide a sense of his chances to play Monday against the Cowboys.

Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Arroyo (shoulder) underwent surgery and will likely be out for the rest of the season, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Macdonald didn't outright rule Arroyo out for the entire 2026 campaign, leaving the possibility that the second-year tight end would be available if the Seahawks made a deep playoff run. Regardless, Arroyo will not be available for the rest of the regular season while recovering from a shoulder injury, leaving Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup as the Seahawks' depth options at tight end behind AJ Barner.
