Klein (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Klein has now been a healthy scratch in consecutive weeks. The fifth-string tight end continues to be a reserve option behind Dalton Schultz, Foster Moreau, Cade Stover and Brevin Jordan.

The Vikings activated Yurosek (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Yurosek is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but his activation from IR indicates that the Vikings are confident that Yurosek will be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut. The second-year pro opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

The 49ers elevated Stoll from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The addition of Stoll gives the 49ers extra depth at tight end behind George Kittle, Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis. Stoll appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Saints in 2025, contributing on both offense and special teams and finishing with six catches on 11 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown.

The Eagles elevated Ertz from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Philadelphia's offense will be welcoming back No. 1 tight end Dallas Goedert from a two-game absence due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but with the team down top RB Saquon Barkley and WR DeVonta Smith as they deal with respective hamstring injuries, head coach Nick Sirianni may be forced into using more two-TE sets. Through two contests in his return to the Eagles, Ertz has hauled in three of six targets for 22 yards while playing behind Johnny Mundt, so he figures to be no more than the No. 3 at the position in Week 5.

Kolar (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Kolar was limited in practice all week due to a fractured forearm, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to draw the questionable tag after missing the Chargers' prior two games. Oronde Gadsden would continue to serve as the Chargers' top tight end if Kolar is unable to return.

Fant (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Fant opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, which was enough for him to shed an injury tag and return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury. He has an 8-66-3 receiving line (on 12 targets) through three regular-season games while operating as the Saints' TE2 behind Juwan Johnson.

Joly (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Joly suffered a concussion after Wednesday's practice and was unable to participate in the Dolphins' Thursday or Friday sessions. The tight end remains in concussion protocol and will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game.

Ryan (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Ryan popped up on Thursday's injury report with a calf injury and could only practice in a limited capacity. The tight end downgraded to a DNP in Friday's session, forcing the Browns to rule him out of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Mallory (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Mallory was designated to return to practice Wednesday. The tight end remains on injured reserve with a thumb injury but was able to log full practice sessions throughout Week 5 prep. The 27-year-old likely has not yet adjusted to NFL physicality enough for the Colts to allow him to suit up for Sunday's contest.

Otton caught three of four targets for 25 yards in a 24-16 win over Dallas on Thursday.

Otton was active early, catching two passes on the Buccaneers' first drive. However, he logged only two more targets and one more reception -- an 11-yarder that helped set up a field goal in the third quarter -- the rest of the way. The 25 total yards were a low mark so far this season for the veteran tight end, who has caught between three and five passes in all five of Tampa Bay's games so far. That at least gives him a reliable floor, but Otton doesn't have a very high week-to-week fantasy ceiling.
