  • Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Dealing with hip injury

    Strange is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chiefs due to a hip injury, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Strange made one catch for 22 yards in the first half, good for second on the team. The severity of the injury is unclear, though his absence would leave a significant void in the Jacksonville offense if he cannot return. Strange was spotted on the sideline without a helmet to start the third quarter.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Two catches in loss

    Conklin caught two of his three targets for 30 yards in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    Conklin played dramatically fewer snaps (20) than rookie Oronde Gadsden (34), but Conklin at least capitalized on the few looks which went his way. The Chargers are dealing with numerous injuries to the offensive line, which is forcing the tight ends to block more than they typically do. The issue, which won't be resolved in the near future, is impacting the fantasy value of the entire position group.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Snares only target

    Gadsden caught his only target for 14 yards in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    With Will Dissly (knee) out a third consecutive week, Gadsden saw a season-high 34 snaps while dramatically outplaying Tyler Conklin (20) and Tucker Fisk (17). Los Angeles is dealing with significant injuries to its offensive line, which has hindered Gadsden's ability to actually see any volume as a pass catcher. Even with the eventual return of Dissly, Gadsden is firmly entrenched as a piece of the offense, but it's unclear how much consistent fantasy utility that role will hold.

  • Raiders' Albert Okwuegbunam: Back to practice squad

    Okwuegbunam reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

    Okwuegbunam was elevated to the Raiders' active roster for a second straight game in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the colts. He didn't end up playing in the Week 4 loss to the Bears, but he saw the field for 31 offensive snaps Sunday due to the absences of Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer (concussion) at tight end. Okwuegbunam took advantage of the additional playing time, finishing the Week 5 loss with five catches (on six targets) for 36 yards. Okwuegbunam would be in line to be elevated to Las Vegas' active roster for Week 6 against the Titans if one or both of Bowers and Mayer aren't cleared to play.

  • Tip Reiman TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Tip Reiman: Done for season

    Reiman (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Reiman was carted off the field during the third quarter of the Cardinals' 22-21 loss to the Titans due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough to sideline the 2024 third-rounder for the rest of the regular season. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with three catches (on five targets) for 18 yards through four regular-season games while playing on both offense and special teams. Third-year tight end Elijah Higgins should step into the TE2 role behind Trey McBride for the remainder of the season in Reiman's absence.

  • Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Considered unavailable Monday

    Calcaterra (oblique) was considered to be a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

    Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter of the team's 21-17 loss to the Broncos in Week 5, ultimately remaining sidelined for the rest of the day. The tight end will have two more chances to participate in some capacity at practice before Thursday's matchup with the Giants.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Signed to active roster

    Morris was signed to the Jaguars' active roster Monday.

    Morris will officially join the Jaguars' active roster after he had already exhausted his three elevations from the practice squad. The tight end has played in each of Jacksonville's last three games, failing to record any stats while operating almost exclusively as a special-teams option.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: In concussion protocol

    Parkinson is in the league's concussion protocol, but coach Sean McVay said Monday he expects Parkinson to be available to play Sunday against the Ravens, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    With Tyler Higbee (hip) out last Thursday night against the 49ers, Parkinson started the game and played 37 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps. He failed to catch his lone target, which was an end-zone shot from Matthew Stafford. Parkinson has four catches for 11 yards on five targets this season.

  • Josh Oliver TE | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Oliver: Catches TD on trick play

    Oliver had two receptions for 35 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.

    Oliver's touchdown came on a trick play from Cam Akers in the wildcat formation. Oliver has just four receptions and six targets in five games this season. He's almost exclusively a blocking tight end but can get the occasional touchdown (two this season).

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Four catches vs. Carolina

    Hill caught four of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers.

    Prior to the Week 5 loss, Hill had caught just two of three targets for 23 yards through Miami's first four games. The Campbell product's increase in usage is likely due to Tyreek Hill (knee) being sidelined for the remainder of the season. Although Hill had his best game of the season, he played behind Darren Waller, who posted a 5-78-1 receiving line Sunday. Expect Hill to continue operating as the Dolphins' No. 2 tight end in the Week 6 matchup against the Chargers.
