  • 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.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Limited in second season

    Musgrave was targeted 10 times and caught seven passes for 45 yards across seven games in the 2024 season.

    Musgrave was a trendy sleeper heading into his sophomore campaign after showing some flashes as a rookie, but he was quietly surpassed by fellow tight end Tucker Kraft over the offseason, and he got off to a slow start before missing 10 games from Week 5 onward. Musgrave returned in Week 16, but by that point Kraft had solidified his grasp as Green Bay's top tight end, and Musgrave filled a bit role the rest of the way. A 2023 second-round pick, Musgrave still possesses some upside heading into his third season, but heading into 2025 he will be no better than the backup tight end for the Packers.

  • Cole Turner TE | WAS

    Commanders' Cole Turner: Signs futures deal with Washington

    Turner signed a reserve/future contract with the Commanders on Tuesday.

    Turner spent the entire 2024 season on the Commanders' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. The Nevada product has played in 22 regulars-season games since being selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Turner will be on the Commanders' 90-man roster at the start of the new league year, and he'll use OTAs, minicamp and training camp as an opportunity to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

  • Tyree Jackson TE | WAS

    Commanders' Tyree Jackson: Remaining in Washington

    The Commanders signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

    Jackson was signed to the Commanders' practice squad mid-December after spending most of the 2024 regular season recovering from an undisclosed injury that caused him to be waived by the Giants during training camp in mid-August. By signing a futures deal, Jackson will be on the Commanders' 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. That gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAS, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of catching on with the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

  • Erick All TE | CIN

    Bengals' Erick All: In danger of missing season

    All (knee) is a candidate to miss the entire 2025 campaign due to the right ACL tear he sustained in early November, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.

    The tight end previously tore the ACL in college during the 2023 season at Iowa, creating complications with the latest injury that will require two surgeries to correct. The first procedure has already been performed, and the second is set to happen in the coming months, at which point a normal recovery process can begin. All managed to impress in his nine appearances (six starts) as a rookie, securing 20 of 22 targets for 158 yards. He isn't expected to have any further issues with his right knee following the surgeries.

  • Ben Sinnott TE | WAS

    Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Buried on depth chart all season

    Sinnott finished his rookie season with five catches for 28 yards and a touchdown on five targets, adding one catch for 23 yards on a fake punt in three playoff games.

    Sinnott spent his entire rookie season third on the depth chart behind Zach Ertz and blocker John Bates, neither of whom is under contract for 2025. It's possible the 2024 second-round pick gets a starting opportunity ahead of his second pro season, but the lack of playing time as a rookie still isn't the best sign for his future. Still, Sinnott's combination of size, speed and draft capital could make him a late-round sleeper for fantasy in 2025, especially if the Commanders don't re-sign Ertz or otherwise make a large investment in a receiving-focused TE.
