Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Stays limited at practice
Goedert (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Goedert has strung together back-to-back capped sessions since sitting out this past Sunday's win at Kansas City due to a knee sprain. He thus will have one more opportunity to practice in full Friday before the Eagles potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Rams. With Goedert absent Week 2, fellow TE Grant Calcaterra earned an 88 percent snap share but was targeted just twice, while Kylen Granson played 57 percent of the snaps and saw one target.

Hunter Long TE | JAC
Jaguars' Hunter Long: Back at practice
Long (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Long was listed as DNP on Wednesday, but his return to the field Thursday would indicate he has a chance to play Sunday against the Texans. Long has played seven offensive snaps through two games, catching his lone target for a six-yard touchdown.

Isaiah Likely TE | BAL
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Officially limited at practice
Likely (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Likely is practicing for the second time since he underwent left foot surgery in late July, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, and the Baltimore Banner reports that the tight end said Wednesday his return is coming "very soon." It looks as though Likely could have a chance to make his regular-season debut Monday versus the Lions, though in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 3 he'll almost certainly need to upgrade to full reps at practice Friday and/or Saturday. Once cleared to retake the field, Likely will join Mark Andrews atop Baltimore's tight end depth chart.

Tucker Kraft TE | GB
Packers' Tucker Kraft: Injures knee at practice
Kraft suffered a left knee injury during Thursday's practice, and while he's set for further evaluation, it isn't expected to be a long-term concern, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kraft broke out with a 6-124-1 line on seven targets during last Thursday's 27-18 win against the Commanders, but just about one week later, his immediate availability is up in the air due to a health concern. It's unclear if his status for Sunday's game at Cleveland is in peril, but Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a chance to play this weekend.

Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Dealing with toe injury
Pitts was limited at Thursday's practice due to a toe injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
One day removed from not being listed on Atlanta's first Week 3 practice report Wednesday, Pitts operated with a cap on his reps. As a result, his status bears watching as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday at Carolina. Fellow TE Charlie Woerner (ankle) hasn't taken part in drills so far this week, leaving Teagan Quitoriano and Feleipe Franks as the sole healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Limited in practice Thursday
Warren (toe) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Warren didn't practice Wednesday, but the tight end's return to the field a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. However, the 2025 first-rounder will likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 3 injury designation.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Back at practice
Warren (toe) was present for practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The same goes for wideout Josh Downs (ankle) after both players were non-participants in Wednesday's session. Thursday's injury report will reveal Warren's participation level, but his ability to practice, in any capacity, is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.
-
Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Logs limited practice
Parkinson (shoulder) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Parkinson suffered an AC joint sprain in Week 1 and was sidelined for Week 2. Coach Sean McVay relayed that Parkinson is feeling better, and his return to the practice field supports that. It remains to be seen whether Parkinson will be able to suit up in Week 3 against the Eagles.

Tip Reiman TE | ARI
Cardinals' Tip Reiman: Returns to practice
Reiman (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Reiman sat out in Week 2 versus the Panthers due to a foot injury, but he took a big step in the right direction to start the Cardinals' new week of practice. If he's able to log a full practice Thursday or Friday, he could potentially avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Nate Adkins TE | DEN
Broncos' Nate Adkins: Log full practice Wednesday
Adkins (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Adkins has been held back to some extent since he underwent a tightrope procedure to address a sprained ankle back in July, but it now appears he's finally back to full strength and ready to make his 2025 debut. If starting tight end Evan Engram (back) is unable to play Sunday against the Chargers, Adkins could be in line for an expanded role.
