Calcaterra (oblique) didn't practice Wednesday.

Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter of a Week 5 loss to Denver and hasn't practiced since. Philadelphia last played on Thursday Night Football against the Giants, but even with the extra time between games, Calcaterra is very much at risk of sitting out this Sunday's matchup in Minnesota. If he doesn't play, Kylen Granson likely would work as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert.

Whiteheart was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Whiteheart played a season-high 22 snaps on offense during the Browns' 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6, but he appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the process. He has two more chances this week to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's home tilt against the Dolphins. If cleared to play Sunday, Whiteheart would be slated to serve as the Browns' TE2 behind rookie third-rounder Harold Fannin if David Njoku is sidelined due to a knee injury.

Hudson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

Hudson entered the league's concussion protocol following the Bengals' loss to the Packers on Sunday. The veteran tight end was unable to practice this past week and has not been cleared to play in Thursday's AFC North tilt. With Hudson out and Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, the Bengals are left with Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy as their three tight ends on the active roster.

The Eagles signed Bell to the practice squad Wednesday.

The 2024 fourth-rounder was waived by the Patriots in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster, but he'll get another opportunity with the Eagles as a member of the practice squad. Bell could be elevated to the Eagles' active roster for Sunday's game against the Vikings if Grant Calcaterra (oblique) is unable to play. Bell mostly served on special teams across 15 regular-season games with the Patriots in 2024, though he did log two catches (on three targets) for 20 yards.

The Cardinals signed Brown to the practice squad Wednesday.

The 31-year-old tight end failed to make the Dolphins' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll get another opportunity to see regular-season action as a member of the Cardinals' practice squad. Arizona placed Travis Vokolek on injured reserve Wednesday due to a season-ending neck injury, and with Tip Reiman (ankle) also on IR, Brown would be a candidate to be elevated to the Cardinals' active roster should the team require depth at tight end. Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Walter Nolen are the three tight ends currently on the Cardinals' active roster.

The Cardinals signed Deguara from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Deguara's addition to the active roster gives the Cardinals depth at tight end after Travis Vokolek (neck) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. With Vokolek and Tip Reiman (ankle) both on IR, Deguara is slated to serve as Arizona's third-string tight end behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins. Deguara played in the Cardinals' Week 2 win against the Panthers, when he logged one tackle while playing 14 snaps on special teams.

Bowers (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Bowers is standing on the sideline in shorts, which comes as no surprise after reports this past weekend suggested he's unlikely to return for Week 7 at Kansas City. He initially suffered a PCL injury and bone bruise in Week 1, and it now seems the goal may be a return after the Raiders' Week 8 bye. TE Michael Mayer filled in admirably during Sunday's 20-10 win over Tennessee, catching five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown on a team-high seven targets (while playing 91 percent of snaps on offense).

The Cardinals placed Vokolek on injured reserve Wednesday due to a season-ending neck injury, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Vokolek was carted off the field during Arizona's loss to the Colts in Week 6 due to a neck injury and concussion suffered during kickoff coverage. He was evaluated at a local hospital before being released the same day, but head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed that the third-year tight end won't be a candidate to return to action this season. Vokolek suited up for a career-high five regular-season games with Arizona in 2025, though he wasn't targeted on offense.

Waller (hip/rest) was limited in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Waller continues to have his practice reps capped due to a load management plan, though his gameday workload has now increased in three consecutive weeks. The veteran tight end handled a season-high 69 percent of offensive snaps during Miami's loss to the Chargers in Week 6, securing two of three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown. Waller has scored in all three of his appearances with the Dolphins this season. He'll face a challenge to keep up that streak on the road against the Browns' vaunted defense on Sunday, though if Cleveland's pass rush forces Tua Tagovailoa to rely heavily on short-area passes, it could result in increased target volume for Waller.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle (hamstring) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, thereby designating the tight end to return from injured reserve, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Last Wednesday, Shanahan told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com that Kittle as a chance to suit up Week 7, and the tight end's return to practice this Wednesday is the first step in making that a reality. Kittle has been sidelined since the season opener, when he injured his hamstring in the first half of an eventual 49ers win at Seattle. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal his odds to play Sunday versus the Falcons.
