Jordan was limited in practice Thursday due to a foot issue.

Jordan may have hurt his foot during practice, as he was a full participant Wednesday. Whatever the case may be, the veteran tight end will likely need to practice in full Friday to avoid being tagged with a game designation heading into the weekend. Starting tight end Dalton Schultz is managing a quadriceps issue and was also limited in practice Thursday, so it's currently uncertain what the Texans' tight-end corps will look like for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bowman was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Thursday.

Bowman was waived by the team earlier in the day, but he will now stick around Arizona as a member of the team's practice unit. The tight end played four snaps on special teams during the team's Week 6 win over the Rams, and he will now have to wait for his next chance to appear in a game with the Cardinals.

Hibner (hand) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Hibner managed a full practice Thursday for the first time since he hurt his hand back in Week 5 at Atlanta, suggesting he'll more than likely be available in Week 7 versus the Bengals. Before getting hurt, he was operating as Baltimore's secondary tight end, filling a complementary role relative to veteran starter Mark Andrews.

Kacmarek (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, but he said he expects to play Sunday versus the Jets, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Kacmarek is dealing with a hamstring issue, though it's not clear when he suffered the injury given that Miami was on bye this past weekend. Regardless, the rookie tight end is anticipating being on the field Week 7 despite being limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Kacmarek hasn't been a major factor in Miami's passing game thus far, recording just three catches on six targets for 24 yards through five contests.

Ogletree (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

Ogletree didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but he has apparently avoided a serious injury given his return to full participation Thursday. The veteran tight end has just one catch on three targets for four yards through six games this season, as he's been primarily used as a blocker. Ogletree should be good to go for Sunday's battle against the Vikings.

The Eagles waived Jenkins on Thursday.

Jenkins has been active for all six of Philadelphia's regular-season games so far this season, but the team is now cutting him loose after Week 6. Over those six contests, he has logged 67 total snaps on offense, and 126 on special teams.

Goedert (knee) was held out of Thursday's practice.

Goedert previously sat out Weeks 3 and 4 due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but he's been able to handle 69- and 81-percent snap shares the last two games while compiling a 12-99-0 line on 17 targets. Thursday's DNP may be for maintenance of the previous injury, but his status nonetheless will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of the tight end's chances to play Monday versus the Cowboys.

Bowers (hamstring/calf) upgraded to a full practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

After popping up on the injury report Wednesday as a limited participant with a pair of new "injuries," Bowers was able to get in a full session Thursday and should be ready to roll for Sunday's game with the Rams. The top TE1 play every week, Bowers has 28 grabs for 382 yards and three touchdowns through four appearances.

Hockenson (concussion) was listed as a full participant Thursday.

Hockenson is inching closer to clearing the protocol for head injuries after sustaining a concussion during the Vikings' Week 5 win at New Orleans. At the very least, he must gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up again Sunday against the Colts.

Kelce (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Kelce has operated with a cap on his reps for the Chiefs' first two practices of Week 7, but as long as he's able to maintain limited activity or upgrade to full participation Friday, he should be in good position to play Sunday in Seattle. With top wideout Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) remaining sidelined for Thursday's practice and perhaps trending toward another missed game in Week 7, Kelce could be a candidate to take on more volume than usual in the Kansas City passing attack if he's not too hindered by the ankle issue.
