Uzomah (calf) will not play Sunday against the Bills.

Not a big surprise as Uzomah was doubtful heading into the contest after not participating in Friday's practice. Starter Tyler Eifert (knee) continues to return to full strength, leaving little room for Uzomah to contribute on offense, even when healthy.

Hooper should sustain his recent workload following Jacob Tamme's season-ending shoulder surgery.

In the wake of Tamme's shoulder injury, Hooper has led all Falcons tight ends in snaps the last three games, despite starting only one of them. Hooper's production hasn't been glamorous -- nine catches (on 14 targets) for 95 yards and one touchdown -- but has easily surpassed fellow tight end Levine Toilolo, who has managed just one 32-yard touchdown grab during that stretch. Expect a similar breakdown of reps and output moving forward.

Uzomah (calf) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Bills, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

It appears Uzomah may have suffered a calf injury in Thursday's practice. If he doesn't suit up, Ryan Hewitt will serve as Cincinnati's No. 3 tight end.

Ertz (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Seattle.

Ertz took an unusual path this week, following a limited/DNP/full regimen in practice. However, Friday's uncapped session all but clears him to suit up in Week 11, barring a setback. Expect clarification regarding his status in advance of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Graham (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

Graham has avoided the final injury report of the week since Week 4, yet he's posted just one 100-yard effort in five contests in the meantime. Nevertheless, he remains in the top tier of tight ends, which he'll try to uphold Sunday against an Eagles defense that has given up a mere 5.3 YPT and two touchdowns to the position in nine games this season.

Uzomah was limited in practice Thursday due to a calf injury.

The specifics of the injury remain relatively unknown, as the tight end was left off of the injury report Wednesday. Uzomah was previously dealing with an ankle injury that sidelined him for a couple of weeks earlier in the season, but it's unclear if the injuries have any relation. Look for more updates to come as kickoff nears. Currently holding the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, Uzomah doesn't figure to have a major fantasy role, especially with Tyler Eifert (knee) returning to full strength.

Ertz (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Taking a seat one day removed from a limited practice would typically raise alarm bells, but Ertz noted he's "confident" that he'll be able to suit up Sunday in Seattle. While his words should be taken with a grain of salt, his workload and listing on Friday's injury report will shed light on his Week 11 availability.

Graham (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Graham has missed the occasional practice this season as the Seahawks manage his non-game day workload, which has so far worked wonders. While he's reached the end zone just three times in nine contests, he's matched his career best of 14.1 YPC and has notched three 100-yard efforts. With Russell Wilson starting to trust his legs and Graham alike, the tight end should continue to be a consistent option in fantasy circles.

Mayle was promoted to the active roster Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

In the wake of TE Geoff Swaim's (pectoral) placement on injured reserve Wednesday, Mayle was called to the active roster in order to serve in an H-back type of role. However, it isn't clear how much playing time he'll be afforded right off the bat with Jason Witten and Gavin Escobar available to serve in similar functions.

Swaim (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Swaim sustained a season-ending pectoral injury in Sunday's victory over the Steelers. Only Jason Witten and Gavin Escobar remain as healthy options at tight end.
