Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Leading receiver in loss
Ferguson caught seven of 10 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.
CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys in catches (eight) and targets (12), but Ferguson paced the team in receiving yards in his best performance since he racked up a 6-95-0 line on 11 targets in Week 3. The third-year tight end recorded two of his receptions with Cooper Rush under center in the fourth quarter after Dak Prescott (hamstring) left the game, and if Rush gets the start in Week 10 against the Eagles, Ferguson could see big volume again.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Doesn't do much with 10 targets
Kincaid caught four of 10 targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.
Kincaid set a season high in targets, exceeding seven for the first time this season. The extra volume didn't lead to an uptick in production, but Kincaid has at least established a solid floor with over 30 yards in eight consecutive games after an 11-yard dud in the season opener. Kincaid will try to pick up the pace in Week 10 against the Colts.

Erick All TE | CIN
Bengals' Erick All: Concern over knee injury
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged after Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders that he's concerned about the right knee injury All sustained in the contest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Before hurting his knee Sunday, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. All previously tore the ACL in the same knee during his final collegiate season at Iowa in 2023, and after the Bengals selected him with a fourth-round pick in April, he missed the entire offseason program before being cleared for full practices in August. If All's latest knee injury costs him game action, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson would be candidates to see added snaps at tight end alongside Mike Gesicki.

Harrison Bryant TE | SEA
Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Leaves with ankle injury
Bryant exited Sunday's contest against the Bengals with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.
Prior to leaving, Bryant caught both of his targets in the passing game for 22 yards. Justin Shorter is next up on the depth chart at tight end behind Brock Bowers.

Tommy Tremble TE | CAR
Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Sitting out Sunday
Tremble (back) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tremble now is sidelined for a third time in the last four games due to a back injury, and with Feleipe Franks (concussion) also out, the Panthers will rely on Ja'Tavion Sanders, Ian Thomas and practice-squad elevation Jordan Matthews at tight end Week 9.

Josh Whyle TE | GB
Titans' Josh Whyle: Good to go
Whyle (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Whyle was a late addition to the Titans' injury report Saturday, but it looks like he is feeling well enough to give it a go. He is coming off two of his better games this season the last two weeks, logging five catches on six targets for 67 yards in total.

Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Broncos' Greg Dulcich: Inactive Week 9
Dulcich (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
With Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull healthy, the Broncos will again opt to go with two tight ends on their 53-man roster. As a result, Dulcich will be a healthy scratch for the fifth-straight game. He last played in Week 4 versus the Jets.
-
Stone Smartt TE | PHI
Chargers' Stone Smartt: Inactive Sunday
Smartt (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Browns.
No surprise here, as Smartt was deemed doubtful for Sunday's contest. He was unable to practice throughout the week due to an ankle injury. In his absence, Hayden Hurst and Eric Tomlinson will be the backup options at tight end behind Will Dissly.

Albert Okwuegbunam TE | LV
Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Staying on IR
Okwuegbunam (abdomen) has not been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, per the NFL's transaction log.
Okwuegbunam started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure at the end of training camp. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Oct. 16, and while he doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game, he will be sidelined for that contest. Okwuegbunam will need to be activated off IR leading up to Week 10 against the Cowboys, otherwise he'll be forced to sit for the entire 2024 regular season, per Anthony DiBona of Philly Sports Network.
