Henry caught six of nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.

Henry led the Patriots in targets and catches while finishing seven yards shy of receiver Kendrick Bourne's team-leading total. The veteran tight end has been the most reliable target for rookie Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, due in large part to New England's lack of talent at wide receiver. Henry has averaged 6.8 targets in the first six starts of Maye's career heading into a Week 12 trip to Miami.

Zylstra exited Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars due to a neck injury.

The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, and given the blowout, there was no reason to risk having Zylstra on the field. The severity of Zylsta's neck injury may not truly be known until the Lions' first practice Wednesday.

Bowers secured 13 of 16 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed once for minus-3 yards.

Bowers set the pace across the board for the Raiders in all three components of his receiving line, with the trio of figures also serving as new career highs. Bowers now has double-digit target tallies and at least eight catches in four of his last six games, as he continues to serve as the clear-cut leader of the air attack following the trade of Davante Adams to the Jets. The star rookie should be set up for another busy afternoon in a Week 12 home AFC West clash against the Broncos next Sunday.

Kittle (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Kittle has dealt with a few injuries this season, including a hamstring issue that capped him to two limited practices during Week 11 prep and left him questionable for Sunday's game. Having said that, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early Sunday morning that Kittle wasn't likely to play, with his availability subject to a pregame warmup. With inactive status now confirmed for Kittle, he'll miss his second contest of the campaign. Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, fellow TE Eric Saubert is dealing with an illness but expected to play, which could mean Jake Tonges and Brayden Willis get more snaps at the position than expected.

Moreau has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns after hurting his shoulder in the first quarter, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Moreau exited in the first quarter after being slammed to the ground on an attempted catch, and he was initially deemed questionable to return. However, the tight end has since been able to re-enter the contest. Moreau will thus be able to continue working as part of the Saints' tight-end trio along with Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

Moreau (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

Moreau got slammed to the ground while making a catch late in the first quarter, which was ultimately nullified by a holding call. Moreau managed to walk back to the bench under his own power, and while he is being evaluated, Dallin Holker could see more snaps on offense behind Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

Mayer (personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Mayer had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but after practicing fully Wednesday through Friday and then being reinstated from the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday, his availability for Sunday's contest never appeared to be in much jeopardy. He'll be suiting up for the first time since Week 3, after having missed the Raiders' last six games prior to the team's Week 10 bye while tending to a personal matter. With fellow tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) sitting out Sunday, look for Mayer to serve as the clear No. 2 option behind standout rookie Brock Bowers. Over his first three appearances of 2024, Mayer's snap shares ranged between 49 and 63 percent, with the 23-year-old producing a 4-21-0 receiving line on seven targets.

Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Mallory appeared in each of the Colts' last seven games, totaling three receptions on six targets for 22 yards across 65 offensive snaps. Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson and Drew Ogletree are the Colts' active tight ends for Week 11.

Pruitt (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Pruitt missed practice all week due to a knee injury he aggravated in Week 10 against the Commanders. Given his lack of practice participation, Pruitt may also be in danger of missing the Steelers' Week 12 game against the Browns on Thursday, Nov. 21. The Steelers will roll with Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward as the three tight ends for Sunday's contest.

Kittle (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, is unlikely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 49ers will see how he feels pregame, but at this stage, the team isn't optimistic that Kittle will be able to play still be a chance he can play. Official word on Kittle's status will arrive 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, when the 49ers release their inactive list. After handling a normal snap count in the 49ers' Week 10 win over the Buccaneers, Kittle sat out Wednesday's practice with the hamstring injury, then was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday. Eric Saubert would likely start at tight end if Kittle is inactive, but he would serve primarily as a blocker and wouldn't be nearly as involved as Kittle in the passing game.
