Goedert (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Goedert missed Sunday's win over the Chiefs, 10 days after suffering a knee sprain in the Eagles' regular-season opener. Now nearly two weeks removed from the injury, Goedert apparently is making a bid to play this Sunday against the Rams

Waller (hip) is officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Waller managed to string together a trio of limited practice sessions, but he nonetheless won't be cleared to retake the field on a short week leading up to Thursday's contest. The veteran tight end figures to have a more realistic chance to make his regular-season debut Week 4 against the Jets in a Monday Night Football matchup on Sept. 29. Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will continue to split reps at the TE position for Miami on Thursday.

Bates signed with the Texans on Wednesday.

After terminating his practice squad contract with the Browns on Tuesday, the 25-year-old from Kentucky has found a new home in Houston. Bates appeared in seven games with the Browns and Jets in 2024, but failed to catch his lone target while playing 70 total snaps (41 offensive and 29 on special teams). With Cade Stover (foot), Brevin Jordan (knee) and Irv Smith (ankle) all on injured reserve, Bates is expected to play a depth role in the Texans' tight end corps.

Knox caught two of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

Knox's five targets Sunday were second only to fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid, who saw six targets from quarterback Josh Allen. The 28-year-old Knox did play more offensive snaps, however, finishing with 41 snaps while Kincaid played 36 snaps. Despite the increased target share, Knox should not be considered for fantasy purposes as long as Kincaid is healthy. The Bills are set to host the Dolphins in Week 3.

Higgins caught two of three targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.

Higgins played 22 of the Cardinals' 55 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Trey McBride (50) and ahead of Travis Vokolek (18). Barring an injury to McBride, the 24-year-old tight end remains far off the fantasy radar due to his limited playing time. The Cardinals are set to visit the 49ers in Week 3.

Gray caught one of five targets for one yard in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Despite seeing an uptick in playing time and targets in Week 2, Gray only had one catch. After playing just 41 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps in Week 1 and seeing only one target, the veteran tight end's five targets tied for the second-highest total of any Kansas City pass catcher against the Eagles, and his snap share jumped to 65 percent. With the Chiefs' offense struggling so far this season and Travis Kelce healthy, Gray's does not have a clear path to meaningful production. The 26-year-old should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Giants.

Helm recorded two receptions on two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.

Helm played a comparable role in the Tennessee offense relative to Week 1, playing just over one-third of the snaps. He was also targeted twice again, both in short areas of the field. Helm is still prioritized behind Chig Okonkwo in the offense, but his role could grow as the season progresses.

Bates terminated his practice squad contract with the Browns on Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

It's a potential sign that Bates plans to sign with another team, but that remains unclear at this point. Bates appeared in seven regular-season contests with the Jets and Browns last season and failed to catch his lone target across 123 offensive snaps.

The Steelers cut Galbreath from the practice squad Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Galbreath stuck around on the Steelers' practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The undrafted rookie will now look to join a team in need of tight end depth on the practice squad.

Waller (hip) was a limited participant at the Dolphins' practice Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waller is considered unlikely to play Thursday night against the Bills, but his ability to practice in any capacity Tuesday is a step in the right direction. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday in reference to both Waller and running back Jaylen Wright (knee) that the team will "see how the rest of the week goes," and that "they're putting their best foot forward." Waller will likely have to set his sights on making his Dolphins debut in Week 4 versus the Jets on Monday Night Football.
