Likely (foot) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, offensive coordinator Todd Monken noted Thursday of Likely, "Hopefully we get (him) back this week. He adds another tool for us." The tight end has missed the Ravens' first three games this season while recovering from foot surgery, but his continued ability to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Fant (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran tight end was concussed in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings and is in the league's concussion protocol ahead of Monday night's game against the Broncos. If Fant is unable to go, Mike Gesicki and Tanner Hudson would be in line for elevated pass-catching snaps, with Drew Sample also in the mix.

Waller (hip) was limited in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Waller is ramping up his activity and remains on track to make his 2025 season debut Monday night against the Jets, though coach Mike McDaniel has already stated the veteran tight end will be on a snap count. It's unclear how much Waller has left in the tank at 33-years-old, especially dealing with an injury after sitting out the entire 2024 campaign.

Pitts (toe) practiced fully Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts has been limited exactly one time each of the last two weeks of game prep due to a toe issue, but his return to full Thursday indicates it was merely related to maintenance. He thus is primed to keep building upon the 15-135-0 line on 19 targets that he's put together in three contests to begin the campaign this Sunday against the Commanders.

Johnson (toe) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Johnson's return to a limited practice puts him on track to play Sunday against the Chargers. Johnson has played 83 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps through three games but has little to show for it in the box score, producing a 6-49-0 receiving line on 10 targets.

Smith (hip/rest) was limited in Thursday's practice.

The hip issue is new for Smith after he was listed as a DNP due to rest only Wednesday. However, the limited practice would suggest Smith has a chance to play Sunday morning against the Vikings unless he was injured in Thursday's session. If Smith were unable to go, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington would handle tight-end duties for the Steelers.

Loveland (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Loveland left this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys in the second quarter due to a hip injury and wasn't able to return. Since then, the rookie first-round pick hasn't been able to practice this week, giving him one more chance to mix into drills before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game in Las Vegas. If Loveland misses the first game of his career, veteran TE Cole Kmet would be in line for a few more passes from QB Caleb Williams.

Kmet (groin) practiced in full Thursday.

One day removed from being limited due to a groin injury Wednesday, Kmet didn't have any practice restrictions, while rookie TE Colston Loveland remained sidelined due to the hip issue that he suffered this past Sunday against the Cowboys. If Loveland is inhibited or sidelined Sunday at Las Vegas, Kmet would be in line for a bump in volume in the Bears' passing game.

Johnson (toe) returned to practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Johnson was absent from Wednesday's session, but a return to practice in any capacity Thursday would seem to put Johnson on track to play Sunday against the Chargers. Johnson has just six catches for 49 scoreless yards on 10 targets through three games to start the season.

Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Parkinson was able to play through his shoulder injury in Week 3 at Philadelphia, but he's apparently still not back to 100 percent after suffering an AC joint sprain in Week 1 versus the Texans. As long as he's able to continue practicing in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he figures to be available for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
