Hudson reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday.

Hudson caught both of his targets for 18 yards during the Bengals' loss to the Titans on Sunday while helping fill in for Irv Smith (hamstring). The 28-year-old led all Cincinnati tight ends in snaps and could get called up again for the Week 5 game against the Cardinals if Smith is forced to miss time.

Togiai was signed to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Togiai will head to Las Vegas after being let go by the Cardinals in August, joining the Raiders' practice unit. The tight end appeared in two games with the Eagles last season, playing 21 snaps between the offense and special teams.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Higbee "got his thumb banged up a little bit" during Sunday's overtime victory at Indianapolis, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

After a week in which he tended to an Achilles injury and also signed a three-year extension, Higbee didn't look worse for wear Sunday, gathering in five of 11 targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns while playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps. It'll be interesting to see how the Rams list the tight end on their first Week 5 injury report Wednesday, but the aforementioned workload implies he's still good for his typical workload on game days.

Hurst caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Hurst now has seen his receiving yards decrease each week since opening the season with five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. That slide makes it hard to get excited over his stock heading into Week 5's game in Detroit.

Dissly (shoulder) is listed as active Monday against the Giants.

After sitting out Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, Dissly was able to manage back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 4 prep before practicing in full Saturday. Still, he was listed as questionable for Monday's game along with Noah Fant (knee). Both players have been deemed available, and Dissly now will look to build upon his 5-52-0 receiving line on five targets through two appearances this season.

Fant (knee) is active for Monday's contest at the Giants.

Fant made a surprise appearance on the Seahawks' injury report Saturday as a non-participant due to a knee issue, which left him questionable for Week 4 action. Fellow tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) had the same designation, but both players will be available to Seattle's offense Monday. While Fant was blanked Week 1 against the Rams, he's hauled in eight of nine targets for 97 yards over the last two contests.

Mallory was a healthy inactive for Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Mallory played 11 offensive snaps in Week 2 against the Texans when he caught two passes for 49 yards, but he's been inactive the last two games.

Alie-Cox had one reception for a 35-yard touchdown in Sunday's overtime loss to the Rams.

It was just Alie-Cox's second reception of the season as he's become a minor factor in the passing game. Although he and Drew Ogletree were the starters in a two-tight end set over Kylen Granson, Alie-Cox played on just 17 of the offense's 64 snaps and went out on four routes.

Granson had two receptions for 24 yards on five targets in Sunday's overtime loss to the Rams.

Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox were the starters in a two-tight end set over Granson, but Granson played the most snaps on offense. Granson played 35 snaps, Ogletree had 28 snaps, and Alie-Cox played 17 snaps, but both Ogletree and Alie-Cox had touchdown receptions. The Colts again divided the work in the passing game among three tight ends. While Granson had the most snaps and ran the most routes, the division of targets makes Granson a tough option for most fantasy formats.

Ogletree had three receptions for 48 yards, including a five-yard touchdown, on four targets in Sunday's overtime loss to the Rams.

Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox were the starters in a two-tight end set over Kylen Granson, but Granson played the most snaps on offense. Granson played 35 snaps, Ogletree had 28 snaps, and Alie-Cox played 17 snaps, but both Ogletree and Alie-Cox had touchdown receptions. The Colts divide the work in the passing game among three tight ends, and, despite the touchdown, it's not likely Ogletree will earn a larger role.
