Bowers (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after not practicing Thursday and Friday.

After opening Week 5 prep as a limited practice participant, Bowers was held out entirely for sessions Thursday and Friday. Despite his downturn in activity, Bowers told Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com following Friday's session that he's feeling better each week while he manages the knee injury, and he believes the extra rest he received will allow him to suit up Sunday. Along with Bowers, the Raiders are listing Michael Mayer (concussion) as questionable, so both tight ends' statuses will be worth monitoring leading up to a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Bowers is cleared to suit up this weekend, it's possible that his workload is managed to some extent after he played more than 70 percent of snaps in each of the previous three contests.

Taylor (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor's availability heading into Week 5 had been a bit of a question mark after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he took every rep at Friday's session to erase any doubt about his ability to play through the ankle issue. The rookie second-round pick drew just three looks in the passing game through the first two weeks of the season, but he's seen his role increase over the past two contests, putting together a 9-83-0 receiving line on 13 targets in that span.

Goedert (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Goedert sat out Week 2 at Kansas City due to a knee sprain and then wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to a knee injury. However, he progressed from that DNP to a limited showing Thursday and then handled every rep to end Week 5 prep, thereby clearing him for Sunday's contest. Over the last two games, Goedert has put together a 5-70-3 line on six targets.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Kittle (hamstring) is considered a "long shot" to be available for the team's Week 6 game against the Buccaneers, but the tight end could be more likely to return from injured reserve for a Week 7 matchup with the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 19, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After missing the requisite four games upon being placed on IR following Week 1 action, Kittle will be eligible for activation during the upcoming week, but he seemingly hasn't made enough progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury to put himself in consideration for a return just yet. The 49ers could still elect to open Kittle's 21-day practice window next week, though Shanahan hinted that the team may prefer to wait until Week 7 before having the 31-year-old get back on the field, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. While Kittle has been out for the past four weeks, the 49ers have had Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell share snaps at tight end, with the former player proving to be the more formidable pass-catching threat.

Head coach Sean McVay said Ferguson "is only going to get more opportunities going forward", Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

McVay's comments come after Ferguson was active for the first time in three games. Given only four snaps on offense on Thursday against the 49ers, the rookie managed to turn his only target into a healthy 21-yard gain, which helped set up a Kyren Williams receiving touchdown a few plays later. Ferguson's second-round pedigree and a Rams' tight end room currently struggling to make much of an impact may help him quickly leap up the pecking order at tight end, and a Ravens defense struggling to keep points off the board may mark an opportunity for Ferguson to produce if McVay's comments bear fruit.

Waller (hip/rest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Waller, who made his regular-season debut Week 4, was listed as a limited participant in practice this week, with the Dolphins managing his practice reps after the tight end parlayed his 16 snaps in Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets into a 3-27-2 line on four targets. On the heels of that effort, Waller is a candidate to see his snap share increase this weekend, and with WR Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season, he should have an opportunity to claim a key role in Miami's passing offense going forward in the absence of any injury setbacks.

Parkinson failed to secure his only target during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Even with Tyler Higbee (hip) out of action, Parkinson took a back seat to Davis Allen in terms of snap count (41 to 25) and overall production, with Allen turning his two targets into 24 yards. The goose egg marks Parkinson's second fruitless outing in three weeks, and his four receptions this year have combined for just 11 yards. Terrance Ferguson also got into the mix with a catch of his own, and the quartet of Rams tight ends will remain difficult to use for fantasy purposes even with the Ravens and their league-worst 133 points allowed next on the schedule in Week 6.

Allen secured both of his targets for 24 yards during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Despite Tyler Higbee (hip) sitting out and being on the field for 60 percent of the snaps on offense, Allen couldn't make the expanded role translate to positive fantasy production. The two catches and 24 yards both marked season highs for third-year pro, but a suddenly crammed Rams' tight end room has yielded next-to-no production through five games. The Ravens are up next on the schedule in a Week 6 tilt next Sunday, and while they have been one of the league's worst defenses, a four-man rotation at tight end if Higbee returns from injury will make it hard to trust Allen in fantasy lineups.

The Saints list Moreau (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

After being designated for return from the PUP list earlier this week, Moreau took part in his first practices since undergoing surgery in the offseason to address a knee injury. He was a limited participant Wednesday though Friday, and though Moreau will carry a questionable tag into the weekend, the Saints may want him to turn in a full practice before bringing him back from the PUP list. In addition to Moreau, the Saints list fellow tight ends Juwan Johnson (ankle) and Taysom Hill (knee) as questionable for Week 5, leaving the position group in a state of flux as Sunday's contest approaches.

Fant (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

After being listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Fant practiced fully Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to return to the lineup after missing Monday night's loss to the Broncos due to a concussion. In three games to date, Fant has compiled a 12-80-1 line on 14 targets, a pace that keeps him on the Week 5 fantasy radar, especially with four teams on bye.
