Oliver was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a wrist injury.

Oliver appeared on the injury report in September and October with a wrist injury, so perhaps he's not quite over the issue. He's turned in two straight strong games, producing a combined 9-110-1 receiving line on 11 targets over the last two weeks. However, with T.J. Hockenson back in the fold and likely to see his playing time pick up after playing under half of the Vikings' offensive snaps in his first two games back from a major knee injury, Oliver's role is expected to become smaller moving forward.

Henry was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a foot issue, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Henry is nursing an injury after he played 57 of the Patriots' 64 snaps on offense and finished with one catch for 14 yards on four targets in this past Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears. The Patriots' second Week 11 injury report will be released Thursday and will provide a better idea whether Henry is truly in any danger of missing this Sunday's game against the Rams.

The Dolphins claimed Stoll off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday.

Stoll was let go by Philadelphia on Tuesday and now slides in on Miami's depth chart at tight end behind Jonnu Smith. Stoll will compete for playing time with Julian Hill and Durham Smythe.

Bryant (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

It appears Bryant is still dealing with the ankle injury sustained in the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Bengals, despite having a Week 10 bye. The 26-year-old tight end likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to take the field in Week 11, when the Raiders face the Dolphins. If he's unable to do so, expect Justin Shorter to serve as Las Vegas' No. 2 tight end Sunday.

Likely (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Likely didn't practice last week and ended up missing a 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday. It was his first absence of the season, and a return to practice Wednesday suggests he has a shot to make it back for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

Woerner (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Woerner appears to have sustained a concussion in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints, despite playing 54 total snaps (36 offensive and 18 on special teams). He will likely need to upgrade to limited work either Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. Regardless of his practice participation throughout the week, Woerner must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 11.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he doesn't have much concern about Kittle's (hamstring) status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, despite the tight end not practicing Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kittle has tended to a variety of health concerns this season, including hamstring, rib and foot issues. Shanahan has referred to Kittle's current issue as hamstring irritation, but there's an expectation that the tight end will take part in drills Thursday. Kittle's ensuing activity level thus will be of interest as the 49ers continue Week 11 prep.

Goedert (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday and doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Commanders.

Goedert opened Week 11 prep listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to an ankle issue before being deemed a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough. With an uncapped session under his belt Wednesday, he'll be on the field Thursday against a Washington defense that has conceded the third-most receiving touchdowns (five) to opposing tight ends in 10 contests this season.

Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The 32-year-old played through his knee injury in Sunday's win over the Commanders, failing to haul in his only target across 32 offensive snaps. Wednesday's DNP suggests that Pruitt may have worsened the injury in Week 10, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 11, when the Steelers host the Ravens.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Shanahan relayed Monday that Kittle was dealing with hamstring irritation, which will keep the tight end out of the first session of the week. Kittle has played through hamstring, rib and foot injuries this season, missing only one game (Week 3) as a result, but it's unclear if he may be in danger of another absence in Week 11. His activity in practices Thursday and Friday likely will provide some insight into his odds to play Sunday against the Seahawks.
