  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Chargers' Will Dissly: Returns to limited practice

    Dissly (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Dissly, who has missed the Chargers' last two games and had sat out all six of the team's practices since the start of Week 3 prep, is thus moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. The tight end will presumably need to practice fully by Friday, however, in order to avoid a Week 5 injury designation.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Doesn't practice due to knee issue

    Goedert was held out of practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

    Goedert sat out Week 2 due to a sprained knee but otherwise has played in the Eagles' three other games this season, combining for a 12-114-3 line on 13 targets. He's also earned at least a 75 percent snap share on all three occasions. It's unclear if the current injury is related to the previous one, but after a DNP to begin Week 5 prep, he'll have opportunities Thursday and Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

  • Saints' Foster Moreau: Logs limited practice activity

    Moreau (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Moreau and Taysom Hill (knee) both logged limited practice activity Wednesday after having had their 21-day practice windows opened. Meanwhile, starting tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) was unable to practice to open Week 5. Moreau opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list and is now in the last stages of his recovery from knee surgery undergone in early January. If Johnson is at risk of missing any time due to injury, Moreau could be positioned to step into a notable role on offense once fully cleared to retake the field.

  • Taysom Hill TE | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Limited as practice window opens

    Hill (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

    After missing the first four games of the season, Hill has resumed on-field work as the Saints officially opened his 21-day window in which to practice and eventually be activated from the reserve/PUP list. His activity Wednesday included drills primarily with quarterbacks but also with tight ends, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Hill thus seems poised to operate in his previous roles around the Saints offense once he completes his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his left knee Week 13 of the 2024 campaign.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: DNP due to ankle issue

    Johnson missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury

    This marks the first time this season that Johnson's practice reps have been impacted in any way, while fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee, reserve/PUP list) and Foster Moreau (knee, reserve/PUP list), who had their practice windows opened this week, were both limited. It remains to be seen if Johnson's status is in peril for Sunday's game against the Giants, but he at least will have two more chances to mix into drills this week before the Saints potentially make a ruling on his availability for Week 5.

  • Noah Fant TE | CIN

    Bengals' Noah Fant: Estimated as limited in practice

    Fant (concussion) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Fant didn't practice last week before being ruled out for Monday night's loss to the Broncos, but the tight end's limited listing on Wednesday's estimate suggests that he has a chance to be cleared to play in advance of Sunday's game against the Lions. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Bengals post their final Week 5 injury designations.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Limited in practice Wednesday

    Waller (hip/rest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Waller's limited practice activity appears to be at least partially related to maintenance. The veteran tight end made his team debut during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets and was highly productive despite playing just 25 percent of offensive snaps, as he secured three of four targets for 27 yards and two touchdowns. The Dolphins figure to continue taking a cautious approach to ramping up Waller's activity, but it will be crucial for him to begin playing closer to a starting role sooner than later with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the remainder of the season. Waller's next chance to increase his snap count will come Sunday on the road against Carolina.

  • Mason Taylor TE | NYJ

    Jets' Mason Taylor: Limited at practice Wednesday

    Taylor (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Taylor now has two more chances to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The 2025 second-rounder is coming off his best game of the season, a 5/65/0 effort on seven targets (while logging an 81 percent snap share) in the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Dolphins.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Doubtful for Week 5

    Higbee (hip) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Rams, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Higbee played through a hip issue this past Sunday against the Colts, earning a 55 percent snap share and hauling in two of five targets for 25 yards. He then was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate and was a DNP at Tuesday's walkthrough due to the same health concern. Now that Higbee is unlikely to play Week 5, Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson and perhaps even rookie second-round pick Terrance Ferguson are poised to handle TE reps Thursday.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Limited Wednesday

    Njoku (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Njoku also opened Week 4 as a limited participant in practice before upgrading to full reps in time to suit up for Cleveland's 34-10 loss to Detroit, in which he secured two of three targets for 11 yards. He'll work to reprise a similar practice pattern and gain clearance for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings in London. Njoku and Harold Fannin have consistently split pass-catching reps at the tight end position this season, resulting in reduced fantasy value for both players. It's possible, at least, that the Browns' decision to bench Joe Flacco in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel provides a spark on offense.
