Kraft (knee) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Kraft tweaked his left knee during Thursday's practice and then sat out Friday's session entirely, but the tight end looks like he'll avoid missing any game action. In any case, fantasy managers planning on using Kraft in Week 3 will still want to confirm that he's active for Sunday's contest, with official word on that front set to arrive when Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Through the first two weeks of the season, Kraft has performed as one of the top fantasy tight ends with eight catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets to go with a three-yard carry.

Warren (toe) no longer carries an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

After missing Wednesday's practice, Warren was limited during Thursday and Friday's sessions before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Now that the Week 3 availability of the 2025 first-rounder has been confirmed, barring any workload restrictions or in-game setbacks, Warren should remain a key target for QB Daniel Jones on Sunday. The 6-foot-6, 256-pounder has been targeted a team-high 16 times through his first two regular-season games, resulting in an 11-155-0 receiving line in that span.

Reiman (foot) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Reiman was sidelined for Arizona's Week 2 win but was able to log three limited practices this week. While that's a positive trend, it's still uncertain if he'll be able to limit his absence to one game.

Parkinson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Parkinson logged his third straight limited practice Friday, setting him up for a potential return to the field Sunday. He missed the Rams' Week 2 contest but could return as a depth offensive player and special teams contributor against the Eagles.

Bates (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Bates suffered a groin injury in Washington's Week 2 loss to the Packers on Sept. 11 and was unable to practice at all this week before being ruled out. He played regularly as a blocking tight end, but his absence won't change the team's target distribution.

With Will Dissly (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Conklin appears to be in line for an increased offensive role.

Dissly has played 49 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps through two games and has secured both of his targets for 25 scoreless yards. Conklin has played 46 percent of the snaps on offense and has recorded two catches for 50 yards. While Conklin seems likely to see an uptick in playing time against Denver, rookie Oronde Gadsden could also simply slide into that other 50 percent of the snap share. Conklin isn't an exciting fantasy target.

Engram (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Engram wasn't able to practice all week, and the tight end now will look to recover from his back issue in time to suit up Monday, Sept. 29 against the Bengals. In Engram's absence this weekend, Adam Trautman figures to be next in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull also on hand to mix in.

Dissly (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

In the wake of Monday's 20-9 win at Las Vegas, Dissly wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week due to a knee injury. Now that his status is confirmed for Week 3, Los Angeles likely will lean on Tyler Conklin at tight end, with rookie fifth-round pick Oronde Gadsden and Tucker Fisk both candidates to make their seasson debuts Sunday.

Likely (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Friday.

Likely sustained a foot injury in late July that required surgery and forced him to miss the entire preseason and the first two games of the current campaign. He wasn't placed on injured reserve to begin the season, though, implying that the Ravens believed he'd be able to return at some point in the first four contests. With three consecutive limited listings on injury reports going back to last week, Likely appears to be ramping up to do just that, but Saturday's report will provide insight into his chances to play Monday against the Lions.

Bowers (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

After approaching this past Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers listed as questionable, Bowers was able to suit up and recorded a 77 percent snap share in the contest en route to catching five of his eight targets for 38 yards. With his Week 3 availability confirmed, the star tight end is poised to maintain his focal role in the Raiders passing game Sunday alongside WR Jakobi Meyers.
