A groin injury that has limited Eagles tight end Zach Ertz in practice this week has him listed as questionable for Week 1 in Atlanta.

Ertz, who could wind up as a game-time decision, is coming off a strong second season in which he caught 58 passes for 702 yards and three touchdowns.

The Dolphins waived quarterback Logan Thomas on Friday, according to the Miami Herald.

The lone injured player on the inactive list posted by the Steelers for their season opener Thursday night against New England is quarterback Landry Jones, who is dealing with a concussion.

Also inactive are tight end Jesse James, wideout Sammie Coates, cornerback Ross Cockrell, defensive ends Letterius Walton and Caushaud Lyons and offensive lineman Chris Hubbard.

Eagles coach Chip Kelly said tight end Zach Ertz will be limited in practice again Thursday coming off a core muscle injury that required surgery in mid-August.

Kelly added Ertz "came out well" after practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday. He said the team will continue to go day to day with Ertz heading into the season opener against the Falcons. 

Eagles tight end Zach Ertz appears on track to play Week 1 against the Falcons, as coach Chip Kelly said Wednesday he has been cleared to practice. 

Ertz missed the preseason while recovering from a core muscle injury. He underwent surgery in mid-August, but he was expected to be fine by the season opener.

"It was a 4-6 week injury. We’re at the tail end of three weeks, going into the fourth. So we’re right on schedule," he said, per The Philadelphia Inquirer. "In the long run, it could be a blessing in disguise that I got this done. Hopefully, all the pain is behind me.”

Chiefs coach Andy Reid delivered some good news in regards to tight end Travis Kelce, who missed the final preseason game due to a slightly sprained ankle.

Reid said Kelce practiced Sunday and is on track to play in the season opener against the Texans.

“He's good, he's good to go,” Reid said, per The Kansas City Star.

The Titans re-signed tight end Chase Coffman on Monday. He spent last season with Tennessee, totaling six catches for 64 yards and one touchdown.

The Dolphins were awarded quarterback Logan Thomas off waivers Sunday, reports the Miami Herald. Thomas was recently cut by the Cardinals.

The Cardinals announced Saturday they have released quarterbacks Logan Thomas and Phillip Sims, per a team release. 

Thomas appeared in two games for Arizona last year, going 1 for 9 for 81 yards and a touchdown, but struggled to grasp the No. 3 job. Sims was an undrafted rookie from Alabama. 

The Lions cut quarterback Kellen Moore and tightend Joseph Fauria on Saturday, according to ESPN.com.

Fauria was a third-year player out of UCLA, while Moore was entering his fourth season our of Boise State.
