Head coach Mike LaFleur stated he's "not too sure" if Reiman (ankle) will play this season, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Reiman hasn't played this season and is currently on the reserve/PUP list. While there haven't been any updates on when the 25-year-old will be back on the field, it appears the door isn't fully closed regarding his return before the end of the 2026 campaign. Reiman has appeared in 21 regular-season games for the Cardinals since being drafted in the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft, amassing nine catches for 55 yards.

The Browns waived Ryan on Monday.

The rookie tight end has appeared in all six games this season but has logged just two snaps on offense and 73 on special teams. He'll be a candidate for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Velling was cut from the Falcons' practice squad Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Velling went undrafted in 2026 but was eventually signed to the Falcons' practice squad. The rookie will presumably search for work with another NFL club, though he likely has a ways to go to get on the field during the regular season.

The Falcons signed Jenkins to the practice squad Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Jenkins was waived by the Eagles on Thursday, though it didn't take him long to find a new team, albeit as a member of the Falcons' practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season games for Philadelphia in the last three seasons but has only one catch during his career.

Ertz is not being elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Cowboys, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

With Philly's tight ends all healthy now, Ertz will remain glued to the practice squad for the second straight week. The veteran has appeared in three games this season, catching just three of eight targets for 22 empty yards. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 35 years old.

The Eagles activated Calcaterra (back) from injured reserve Monday.

Calcaterra has been cleared to play Monday night against Dallas, giving Philly another capable tight end behind Dallas Goedert. It's unclear how the playing time will shake out between blocker Johnny Mundt, catch-first rookie Eli Stowers and Calcaterra, but the Eagles could lean into the tight end-heavy sets with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both ruled out.

The Bengals signed Grandy off the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Grandy spent the previous two seasons with Cincinnati prior to being a part of final cuts this past summer. With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) done for the season and Erick All going down with a knee injury Sunday against the Ravens, Grandy gives the Bengals another reliable tight end behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample.

The Eagles reinstated Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Philadelphia had listed Stowers as questionable for the contest, but after bringing him back from IR, the rookie second-round pick out of Vanderbilt will be available to make his NFL debut after sitting out the team's first six games of the season. With Grant Calcaterra (back) also being reinstated from IR, the Eagles now have four tight ends on the 53-man roster. Dallas Goedert should be locked into a sizable snap share as the Eagles' starting tight end, while Calcaterra and Johnny Mundt function mainly as blockers at the position and Stowers provides more of a pass-catching presence. Stowers' receiving skills could come in handy while the Eagles are down their top two wideouts in DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) on Monday.

Kelce caught four of eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Kelce increased his career total to 1,104 regular-season catches, passing Hall of Famers Marvin Harrison (1,102) and Cris Carter (1,101) to move up to fifth on the all-time list. Jason Witten holds the fourth spot with 1,228 receptions, so Kelce is more likely to be caught by Keenan Allen (1,084) than Kelce is to catch Witten. Kelce led the Chiefs with eight targets in the absence of WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) and tied fellow TE Noah Gray for the team lead in receiving yards as Kansas City mustered just three Harrison Butker field-goal attempts on offense, two of which missed. This was only the second time Kelce failed to reach the 50-yard threshold in six appearances this season. He had 71 yards in Week 1 against the Broncos, whom the Chiefs will face in a Week 8 road rematch.

Barner caught four of five targets for 42 yards while also adding three rushes for four yards during Sunday night's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

Barner finished second on the team in both receptions and receiving yards behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The tight's four catches and 42 yards were his highest totals since he reeled in five passes for 69 yards in Week 3 against Washington. Additionally, Barner was able to rush for three first downs on Sunday night. On the year, the tight end has caught 19 of 29 targets for 180 yards while he's also added four carries for five yards and a touchdown over seven contests.
