Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork (foot), linebacker Jerod Mayo (ankle) and tight end Zach Sudfeld (hamstring) are active for Sunday night's game against the Falcons after being listed as probable.

Cornerback Kyle Arrington (groin), safety Nate Ebner (ankle), and offensive tackle Will Svitek (knee) also are active after being listed as questionable.

Cardinals tight end Rob Housler, wide receiver Jaron Brown, tight end Jim Dray and wide receiver Andre Roberts all had minor contributions on offense during a 13-10 win Week 4 at Tampa Bay.

Housler had one catch for 23 yards, Brown had one catch for 19 yards, Dray had one catch for 10 yards and Roberts had one catch for 6 yards. Housler and Brown were each targeted twice.

Chiefs wide receiver Dexter McCluster, tight end Kevin Brock, fullback Anthony Sherman and backup running back Knile Davis all made minor contributions on offense during a 31-7 win Week 4 vs. N.Y. Giants.

McCluster finished with five catches for 48 yards, Brock had two catches for 27 yards, Sherman had one catch for 6 yards and Davis had one carry for 2 yards.

Buccaneers rookie quarterback Mike Glennon made his first career start Week 4 vs. Arizona and tight end Timothy Wright ended up being one of his favorite targets. Wright, who entered the game with one catch for 6 yards, totaled a team-high 41 receiving yards on five catches Sunday.

His longest reception went 15 yards and he was targeted six times. The Bucs are back in action Week 6 vs. Philadelphia. They are on bye Week 5.

Texans tight end Garrett Graham caught his third touchdown Week 5 against the Seahawks.

Aside from a Week 3 shutout, Graham has been a consistent threat in the passing game. He hauled in 5 passes on 6 targets for 69 yards. He hauled in a 31 yard touchdown from Matt Schaub in the second quarter. Graham will look to continue his cussess against the 49ers Week 5.

Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew might have caught seven of seven targets Sunday vs. the Bears, but he still managed to average a typical-for-him 7.7 yards per catch. 

Pettigrew isn't an explosive tight end, just a big one. He's an OK bye-week replacement when the matchup is right. Such a matchup might be in Week 5 at Green Bay. 

Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew caught all seven of his targets against the Bears.

Pettigrew picked up 54 yards, which nearly led the club. His seven targets trailed only Calvin Johnson. Pettigrew was mainly used on short routes, with his longest pass going for just 7 yards. Pettigrew will take on the Saints Week 5.

Steelers tight end David Johnson caught one pass for 8 yards during the Week 4 loss to the Vikings from London. Johnson was only targeted once in the game. The Steelers have a bye Week 5. 

Redskins tight end Fred Davis (ankle) is not inactive, but he's also not starting. The nod has gone to Logan Paulsen.

The Eagles are quite healthy heading into their Week 4 game in Denver. The lone injured player on their inactive list is free safety Patrick Chung.

The others are quarterback Matt Barkley, tight end Emil Igwenagu, tackle Dennis Kelly, cornerback Shaun Prater, defensive tackle Damion Square and tackle Matt Tobin.
