Deguara was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Deguara was released from the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, but he has now quickly found another opportunity with Seattle. The 29-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at tight end while Elijah Arroyo (shoulder) is set to miss some time moving forward.

Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed with reporters Monday that Arroyo will miss "significant time" due to a shoulder injury that he picked up during Thursday's 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

It appears the second-year tight end will not play against the Chiefs in Week 7, and a stint on injured reserve seems likely for Arroyo. He's mostly been used as an extra blocker on offense and as a contributor on special teams, but his absence means Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are both candidates for more snaps behind TE1 AJ Barner.

Hudson (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Monday.

Hudson suffered a torn pectoral muscle during the team's 31-24 win over Miami in Week 5, so his transition to IR comes as no surprise. In his absence, Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample will continue to operate as the team's primary options at tight end this season.

Kincaid (ribs) returned to Sunday's 33-30 win at Las Vegas and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 38 yards.

Kincaid missed some time from late in the third quarter and into the fourth to be evaluated in the sideline tent, but he got back on the field with 8:01 remaining and added one more reception to his final line. Overall, he paced the Bills in catches and targets, but he ended Week 6 with his lowest YPC (5.4) of the campaign. The Bills have a Week 7 bye, so he'll have plenty of time to heal up for Buffalo's next game Sunday, Nov. 1 against the Ravens.

Arroyo is expected to miss time after exiting Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Broncos due to a shoulder injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The Seahawks are still looking to determine the extent of Arroyo's injury, but he appears likely to be sidelined for the team's Week 7 game against the Chiefs, and a stint on injured reserve could be a possibility. The second-year tight end has handled a light role on offense through the Seahawks' first six games of the season, registering a 17-yard reception on two targets.

Mayer brought in seven of nine targets for 95 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Mayer set a new single-game career high in receiving yards while outpacing position mate Brock Bowers by 25 yards in the high-scoring loss. Mayer's reception total was a team high for Las Vegas on the afternoon and served as the fourth-year pro's second best of the season. There clearly appears to be consistent room for both athletic tight ends in head coach Klint Kubiak's offense, especially with the Raiders' receiving corps lacking some depth and experience behind Tre Tucker.

Pitts brought in five of seven targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Pitts led the Falcons in receptions and was second and third in targets and receiving yards, respectively. The veteran tight end helped fuel an Atlanta comeback in the fourth quarter with touchdown grabs of 10 and five yards, his second and third scoring catches in the last two games. Pitts has also now posted back-to-back five-catch tallies as a Week 7 home matchup against the 49ers approaches on Sunday.

Loveland brought in six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Loveland certainly had a productive afternoon overall, but it could have been even bigger had he and Caleb Williams been able to connect on a late second-quarter pass in the left portion of the end zone. Prior to that, the talented tight end recorded a 14-yard scoring grab in tight coverage with 8:15 remaining in the first quarter to put the first points of the day on the board. Loveland's put together a pair of six-catch efforts in the last three games that serve as his most useful of the season thus far, and he'll look to build on his 19-175-1 line on 30 targets in a Week 7 home matchup against the Patriots on Thursday night.

Fannin brought in one of three targets for nine yards in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Fannin was quiet for a second straight game while Jerry Jeudy surprisingly paced the Browns' air attack with a season-high 69 receiving yards. Fannin's production has been hard to trust during the first few weeks of the season, as he's recorded five or more catches just twice and three receptions and 27 receiving yards or less in his other four games. Fannin will look for a boost in his numbers during a Week 7 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

Bowers brought in four of nine targets for 70 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Bowers came on in the second half as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback, but he saw fellow tight end Michael Mayer outpace him by three receptions and 25 receiving yards on the same number of targets. Bowers' reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season lows, underscoring how significant his production had been over his first three games of the campaign. Bowers should be heavily involved again in a Week 7 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.
