  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Marcedes Lewis: Goes back to practice squad

    Lewis reverted to Denver's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transactions log.

    Lewis suited up for his second game of the season in Week 10 versus the Raiders, and he again did not record a stat Thursday. The Broncos will be able to elevate him from the practice squad one more time this year before they would be required to sign him to the active roster to make him eligible to play.

  • Texans' Harrison Bryant: Questionable for Week 10

    Bryant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

    A shoulder injury prevented Bryant from participating in the first two practices of Week 10 prep, but he earned the questionable tag after logging a full practice Friday. Dalton Schultz is the only healthy tight end on the active roster, so the Texans may elevate Brevin Jordan or Cade Stover from the practice squad to provide added depth at tight end in case Bryant is unable to play Sunday.

  • Connor Heyward TE | PIT

    Steelers' Connor Heyward: Cleared to play

    Heyward (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports

    Despite missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Heyward logged a full practice Friday and didn't get tagged with an injury designation, making him set to suit up in Sunday's game. The 26-year-old fullback played 18 special teams snaps and four offensive snaps in Week 9 against the Colts and will likely log a similar amount of snaps in the fullback role for Sunday's game.

  • Colson Yankoff TE | WAS

    Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Cleared to play Week 10

    Yankoff (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    A hamstring injury prevented Yankoff from playing in the Commanders' last two games, but he's been cleared to return Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his return bolsters the Commanders' depth at tight end behind Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Looking good for Sunday

    Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he seems likely to play after logging a full practice Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    The quick return to full participation confirms that Barner's injury isn't serious, though the Seahawks weren't quite ready to remove him from their injury report. He hasn't missed a game this season and should fill his usual role as the No. 1 tight end, which has resulted in four receiving touchdowns and one rushing score despite averaging just 3.25 targets per game.

  • Josh Oliver TE | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Oliver: Ruled out

    Oliver (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    Oliver will miss a second consecutive week due to the foot sprain he suffered in Week 8 against the Chargers. The loss of the backup tight end will likely mean more snaps for Ben Yurosek again, who has logged 32 offensive snaps in the past two games since Oliver suffered his injury.

  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Won't face Texans

    Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    The Jaguars will be without both Long and Brenton Strange (quadriceps), who is still on IR. Johnny Mundt likely will get most of the snaps, with Quintin Morris on hand in a depth role. Jacksonville may elevate one or both of Jordan Akins and Patrick Herbert from the practice squad as well.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Listed as questionable

    Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Barner handled his normal workload during Sunday's win over the Commanders, including his first rushing TD of the season on his fourth QB sneak. He also has four receiving touchdowns, but he's averaging just 3.25 targets per game and now has the calf injury as a potential concern. Elijah Arroyo and Nick Kallerup will take on larger roles at tight end if Barner ends up on the inactive listed ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

  • Durham Smythe TE | CHI

    Bears' Durham Smythe: Questionable for Sunday

    Smythe (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Smythe managed to log a limited practice Friday as he battles back from a calf injury. The 30-year-old tight end has taken a back seat in the passing game to both Cole Kmet and rookie Colston Loveland, having not received a single target through eight games this season. If Smythe is able to play, he will likely continue to be relegated to a limited role as a blocker for the offense.

  • Giants' Thomas Fidone: Ready for Sunday

    Fidone (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    The rookie tight end from Nebraska upgraded from limited practice participation Thursday to a full-go Friday, suggesting he's moved past his foot injury in time to play Sunday. Now back at full health, expect Fidone to contribute primarily on special teams in Week 10.
