The Jets designated Yeboah (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

After playing in 19 games for the Jets over the previous two seasons, Yeboah is still looking to make his 2023 debut. This move opens Yeboah's 21-day practice window, and he can be activated anytime within the next three weeks. Yeboah will look to earn a role behind Tyler Conklin, C.J. Uzomah and Jeremy Ruckert.

Wilcox drew one catchless target while playing five of the Bengals' 64 offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.

Cincinnati kept four tight ends active Week 10, and Wilcox ranked a distant fourth in terms of snaps. The Bengals effectively ran a three-man timeshare at the position, with Drew Sample (23 snaps) leading the group in playing time and Irv Smith (21) and Tanner Hudson (20) lagging closely behind him. Due to his status as a core special-teams contributor, Wilcox should continue to remain active on game days, but he doesn't look to be close to moving into a notable role on offense.

Jordan (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

After missing the Texans' last three games tending to a foot injury, Jordan is now missing Houston's first practice of the new week. Unless he's able to return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely be sidelined in Week 11.

Parham didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

The severity of Parham's injury isn't clear, but it's not ideal that he's missing the Chargers' first Week 11 practice, especially with top tight end Gerald Everett (back) also sidelined for practice. Parham played 43 percent of the snaps on offense in the Chargers' 41-38 loss to the Lions this past Sunday, finishing with two catches for 18 yards on two targets.

Smythe (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Smythe now has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders. However, with a 17-168-0 receiving line on 22 targets through nine games this season, Smythe is a factor only in deeper fantasy formats.

Schultz was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Schultz logged 66 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Bengals this past Sunday, but now that the tight end now finds himself on the team's lengthy injury report ahead of a Week 11 game against the Cardinals, his status is worth monitoring. Over his last two outings, Schultz has combined for 14 catches on 17 targets for 201 yards and a touchdown.

Everett (back) didn't practice Wednesday.

The Chargers consider Everett day-to-day following his early exit from Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions. If he isn't available this Sunday at Green Bay, the Chargers likely will turn to some combination of Donald Parham (hip), Stone Smartt and Nick Vannett in a committee at tight end.

Hendershot (ankle) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports, and the tight end was a full participant in practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Hendershot spent the minimum of four weeks on injured reserve before being designated to return. The Indiana product told Gehlken that he feels fresh, although he's not sure if he'll be able to return Sunday against the Panthers, so despite his full participation in practice, he should be considered questionable for the game.

Hockenson (ribs) was estimated as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's practice report.

Hockenson's practice reps were capped last week after offensive coordinator Wes Phillips told Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the tight end suffered two broken ribs during a Week 9 win in Atlanta. The injury didn't stop Hockenson from suiting up this past Sunday against the Saints, and though he visibly looked to be in pain at various points of the game, he still finished with 11 catches (on 15 targets) for 134 yards and one touchdown. Now that he's back on the injury report, Hockenson's status will need to be monitored, but the expectation remains that he'll continue to play through the pain this Sunday in Denver.

Freiermuth (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The Steelers designated Freiermuth to return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday after he missed five games due to a hamstring injury. Though Pittsburgh will still have to activate Freiermuth from IR before he's eligible to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Wednesday that the tight end is "tracking" to suit up in the Steelers' matchup with the Browns this weekend. The Steelers will likely wait and see how Freiermuth fares in practices Thursday and Friday before deciding on his status for Sunday's contest.
