The Rams activated Redman (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Saturday.

Redman opened camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but he has been given the green light to return to practice after passing his physical. He signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in late April and is battling to earn a spot on the 53-man roster as a backup tight end.

Ferguson was unable to practice Saturday due to a groin strain, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of the injury but also admitted that Ferguson has no timeline to return. Ferguson had gotten strong reviews in camp for his ability to find soft spots in zone coverage while being a reliable target, but this injury will slow his momentum for the time being.

Kraft was unable to practice Saturday due to a groin injury, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Kraft had gotten through training camp with a clean bill of health prior to this injury, and there had been some buzz about him becoming a more impactful member of the Packers' offense this season. There's no indication that this injury will threaten his status to begin the campaign, but little is known at this point.

Hockenson suffered an apparent groin injury during practice Saturday and was walking with a noticeable limp afterward, Andrew Krammer of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Hockenson was evaluated and tried to work through the injury on the field, but he was unable to do so. He told reporters after practice that he would be alright, but he may be in line to miss additional practice time.

Fidone (undisclosed) didn't participate in the Giants' practice Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Fidone is currently dealing with an undisclosed injury and it's unknown how long he'll be sidelined for. The 22-year-old was selected by New York in the seventh round of this year's draft and has been competing with Greg Dulcich and Chris Manhertz for the team's No. 3 tight end spot.

Wiley (undisclosed) didn't participate in Kansas City's practice Saturday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Wiley had been recovering from a torn ACL suffered in practice last November, but it's unclear if his absence is related to that or another injury. Once healthy, the 2024 fourth-round pick is expected to serve as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray during the upcoming campaign.

The Ravens waived Pitz on Saturday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Pitz had signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in May but will now head to waivers. He caught 17 passes for 940 yards and 17 touchdowns across four seasons at Minnesota Duluth and will look to catch on with another team.

The Commanders placed Jackson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday.

Jackson had signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January but will now be forced to miss the entire season unless he's waived with an injury settlement. He last appeared in a game during the 2023 campaign with Giants and may have to wait until 2026 to make his return.

Bowers (undisclosed) is practicing Saturday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

It's not clear what caused Bowers to miss practice Friday, but it's possible he was just getting a rest day. Now that he's back at practice, fantasy managers should have no concerns about his status moving forward. Bowers has been the top tight end off the board in fantasy drafts after recording an NFL rookie record for receptions with 112 while accumulating 1,194 receiving yards and five touchdowns last year.

Tremble (back) ran routes on the side during training camp Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Tremble underwent back surgery in May and opened camp on the active/PUP list. The fifth-year tight end has been increasing his workload and "appears to be trending in a good direction," per Newton. It remains unclear, however, if Tremble will be ready to play in Week 1 of the regular season.
