Fant (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Fant limped off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup. The 28-year-old had 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns over his previous 12 games this season. If the seventh-year veteran is unable to return, Tanner Hudson will likely take over as the No. 2 tight end for the remainder of the game.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Bryant has been cleared to return Sunday from a four-game absence due to shoulder and neck injuries. The sixth-year pro will join Cade Stover as the Texans' backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz.

Smartt (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Smartt entered the league's concussion protocol following the Jets' Week 14 loss to the Dolphins. He ended the week with a full practice Friday and has been given the green light to play Sunday after being evaluated by an independent neurologist. Smartt will have the opportunity to serve as the Jets' TE2 behind Jeremy Ruckert due to Mason Taylor (neck) being inactive.

Thomas (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Thomas suffered a calf injury during the Raiders' Week 14 loss to the Broncos. He was tagged as questionable for Week 15 after logging a full practice Friday, but he will be sidelined for Sunday's game after going through pregame warmups. With Thomas not playing, Carter Runyon will step up as the Raiders' TE3 behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Higgins (illness) is active for Sunday's game at Houston.

Higgins was held out of Friday's practice due to an illness that left him questionable for Week 15 action. Now that he's confirmed to be active, he'll be working in a passing game without the services of WRs Marvin Harrison (heel, inactive), Greg Dortch (chest, IR) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring, inactive), among others, for a second consecutive contest. In the first such outing last Sunday against the Rams, Higgins received a season-high 66 percent snap share but couldn't haul in his only target, while top TE Trey McBride (5-58-0 on nine targets) and WR Michael Wilson (11-142-2 on 16 targets) dominated the attention of QB Jacoby Brissett.

The Steelers announced Sunday that Washington cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries a designation for Monday's game against the Dolphins.

After logging three straight limited practice this week, Washington had initially been listed as questionable for the contest. Now that he's been cleared to play Monday, the tight end will be able to maintain his growing role in Pittsburgh's passing game. Over his last three games, Washington has reeled in five of his seven targets for 79 yards, though it's worth noting that Washington was forced out of the Week 14 win over the Ravens after logging just 15 snaps on offense.

Ferguson (calf), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against Minnesota, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though Ferguson logged an LP/DNP/LP practice progression this week, there hasn't been substantial chatter about him needing to miss Sunday's contest. That remains the case as of Saturday evening, though official confirmation of Ferguson's status may not come until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Should there be a surprise and Ferguson needs to sit out the matchup, Luke Schoonmaker would likely work as the Cowboys' top tight end.

Washington (concussion) logged a limited practice session Saturday and is questionable for Monday's Week 15 tilt against the Dolphins.

Washington entered concussion protocol during last Sunday's win over Baltimore. He's been able to log three limited practices this week, but he remains iffy to suit up Monday. Washington will need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol ahead of that contest in order to be eligible to play. If he can't do so, Pat Freiermuth will likely see increased offensive snaps as the Steelers' top tight end.

Bryant (neck) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Bryant has been sidelined since Week 11 but looks on track to play Sunday following a minimum-length stay on IR. The tight end appeared in eight games prior to landing on IR, recording two catches for seven yards on six targets.

Arroyo (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Arroyo suffered a knee injury in Week 14 and had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. He'll now be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, but he will have a chance to return during the postseason.
