The Packers signed Castles to their practice squad Tuesday.

Castles spent training camp with the Chargers and Rams but was waived at the close of training camp. He'll provide tight end depth in Green Bay after Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9.

Adkins (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Adkins has opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back DNPs as he continues to recover from a knee injury he sustained against the Cowboys in Week 8. He was unable to play against the Texans on Sunday, and he's unlikely to play Thursday against the Raiders unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Wednesday.

The Packers signed Whyle to their active roster Tuesday.

Whyle has spent the season on the Packers' practice squad to this point. He'll now provide depth to the tight end room, with Tucker Kraft (knee) lost for the season. Whyle has 37 receptions and two touchdowns across 28 career games.

Detroit released Yeboah (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday.

Yeboah was placed on injured reserve in early August, which would have ended his season had he not reached this settlement. He'll now be free to sign elsewhere and potentially suit up if healthy.

Higgins recorded three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards during Monday's 27-17 win in Dallas.

Working behind a top receiving tight end like Trey McBride doesn't leave much in terms of targets for Higgins, but the latter took advantage of his looks Monday en route to a season best in receptions. Furthermore, Higgins has settled into the No. 2 TE role over the last three games with Tip Reiman (ankle) out for the season, receiving 40 to 45 percent of the offense snaps during that span. Expect Higgins to hover in that range and get the 1.8 targets per game that come with it as long as McBride is available.

The Packers placed Kraft (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Kraft's move to IR was merely a formality after head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday that the third-year tight end sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers. Luke Musgrave will serve as the Packers' top pass-catching option at TE.

Gray couldn't retrieve his lone target during Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

Gray saw a steep decline in usage during Sunday's tilt, likely due to the Chiefs trailing most of the game and utilizing a more pass-centric approach than usual. Gray's 37 percent snap share marked his lowest snap share of the season, and his 22 offensive snaps were a season-low mark. Gray doesn't possess much fantasy appeal as a backup tight end to Travis Kelce but could move on to the radar should Kelce miss any time in the future.

Hudson caught two balls for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

Hudson usually gets the third most offensive snaps among the Bengals tight ends, behind Noah Fant and Drew Sample, though Sample is almost exclusively used as a blocker. The activity level of all three of the aforementioned tight ends has increased following Mike Gesicki's pectoral injury.

Mayer caught three of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Mayer's seven targets matched his previous season high, but fellow tight end Brock Bowers stole the spotlight Sunday, erupting for a 12-127-3 receiving line on 13 total looks from quarterback Geno Smith. Nonetheless, Mayer played 83 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, as the team remains without a legitimate WR3 threat behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker.

McBride corralled five of nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.

McBride found himself back in the end zone just two weeks after setting a new career high in touchdowns with a multi-score effort against the Packers. The PPR monster had historically struggled in the red zone over the first three years of his career, but he has addressed that deficiency by hitting pay dirt four times in his last three appearances. McBride entered rare air with Monday's stat line, joining current and former legends Travis Kelce and Tony Gonzalez as the only tight ends in NFL history to record at least five catches in 10 consecutive games. The 25-year-old McBride will attempt to carry over his red-hot play into Sunday's division matchup against the Seahawks.
