Uzomah suffered an MCL sprain during the Jets' 13-8 loss to the Falcons on Sunday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Uzomah is in danger of missing time after exiting Sunday's game due to an MCL injury. The 2015 fifth-round pick has caught eight of 12 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in eight games played this season.

Everett snared four of his five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Patriots.

Everett's 26-yard catch and run in the first quarter was the third-longest reception by either side in a game mucked down by miserable rainy conditions. The veteran has been a reliable safety valve for quarterback Justin Herbert all season, as he has at least three receptions in all but four games to date; however, he's hasn't managed to eclipse 50 yards to this point.

LaPorta brought in all nine targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 33-28 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The rookie tight end led the Lions' pass catchers across the board by a wide margin with reception and yardage totals that also qualified as season/career highs. LaPorta broke loose for several chunk gains throughout the afternoon, including a game-long 48-yard reception and a 13-yard scoring grab early in the first quarter. LaPorta has now scored in consecutive games for the first time in his career, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Bears.

Henry caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

A change in starting quarterback from Mac Jones to Bailey Zappe didn't lead to an increase in production from either Henry or New England's offense as a whole. After topping 50 yards three times through Week 4, Henry hasn't reached 40 yards in a game since. The struggling tight end will try to get more involved Thursday against the Steelers.

Whyle has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts with a right knee injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Whyle left for the locker room with Derrick Henry (concussion) in the fourth quarter, and the former has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game. Trevon Wesco and Kevin Rader will fill in as the backup tight ends behind Chigoziem Okonkwo in Whyle's absence.

Uzomah (knee) is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

The tight end exited early in the game before recording a stat. Uzomah has eight catches for 58 yards and a touchdown in 2023.

Hopkins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

This is the second straight week Hopkins has been a healthy inactive after he served as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Higbee before then. Davis Allen and Hunter Long are set to fill in as the backup tight ends behind Higbee for Sunday's contest.

Calcaterra (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Calcaterra was able to log a limited session Friday after missing the previous two practices. Calcaterra and Jack Stoll will serve as the primary tight ends for Sunday's game with Dallas Goedert (forearm) ruled out.

Goedert (forearm) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Goedert will miss a third consecutive contest due to the broken right forearm that he suffered Week 9, but he made notable progress in his recovery effort during Week 13 prep, catching passes on the side Thursday before returning to practice as a limited participant Friday. With Goedert sidelined, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra (ankle) will handle most of the tight end reps for the Eagles, while Albert Okwuegbunam is on hand for his typical handful of snaps. Goedert will set his sights on returning to action next Sunday night at Dallas.

Manhertz came back in late in the first half Sunday against the Texans after exiting with a shoulder injury earlier in the half, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The backup tight end does not have a catch yet in the game. Manhertz has two catches for 16 yards and no touchdowns in 2023.
