Manhertz was waived by the Saints on Saturday, Larry Holder of the Times-Picayune reports.

Manhertz had been the Saints' No. 3 tight end and he saw just 15 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the first five weeks. He was waived to clear room for wide receiver Jacob Lampman.

Bowman (knee) has been removed from the Jets' final Week 6 injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Bowman practiced in full on Saturday after being limited earlier in the week and sitting out in Week 5. He's still the team's last option at tight end and shouldn't be looked to for much fantasy output.

Gray (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Gray suffered his injury in Week 5, but it doesn't appear overly serious. He was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, so it would be a surprise if he's held out Sunday. However, Gray's yet to catch a pass this season, so his fantasy value is essentially nil.

Henry caught six of his eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's win over the Broncos.

Henry was the lone fantasy bright spot for the Chargers, as the rookie tight end was repeatedly able to find open seams in the defense throughout the first half which resulted in a team-high eight targets. Even with starting tight end Antonio Gates returning from a hamstring injury last week, Henry still has recorded over 70 receiving yards in each of the last two contests and looks to have gotten into a rhythm with quarterback Philip Rivers. Henry figures to see plenty of targets again when the Chargers face off against the Falcons next Sunday.

Uzomah (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

With Tyler Eifert (back) still out of practice and looking less-and-less likely to play against the Patriots, Uzomah could be in line to see increased action Sunday. If Eifert is ruled out, the 23-year-old will compete with Tyler Kroft for first team reps, although Uzomah could be at a disadvantage when factoring in his ankle injury. Look for more updates on the Bengals' tight end situation to emerge as kickoff nears.

Gray (calf) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The tight end was limited in Wednesday's session but was back on the field in full force Thursday. Gray has a chance to see expanded reps alongside Dion Sims this week with Jordan Cameron (concussion) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers.

Donnell (concussion) logged a full practice Thursday.

Jumping from limited to full in the first two practices of the week indicates that Donnell has proceeded through the league's protocol for head injuries. If he's indeed completed the program, he'll serve as the Giants' starting tight end Sunday versus the Ravens.

Vannett (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.

The rookie has yet to make his NFL debut, as he has been dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 2 of the preseason. However, his full participation in Wednesday's practice seems to imply he is trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with Falcons.

Amaro (shoulder) was not listed on the Titans' injury report Wednesday.

Amaro was held out of last week's action against Dolphins, but his return to the practice field bodes well for his likelihood of playing this weekend.

Lewis (hip) practiced fully Wednesday.

Lewis is thus on track to play Sunday against the Bears, but his fantasy upside this week is limited by the anticipated return to action of fellow TE Julius Thomas.
