The Dolphins signed Conner to the practice squad Wednesday.

Conner is entering his second year as a pro after also spending his rookie campaign with the Dolphins. The vast majority of his work in 2022 came on special teams, and that's unlikely to change if he cracks the roster at some point in 2023.

The Bengals signed Hudson to their practice squad Wednesday.

Hudson has bounced around the league in four professional seasons, though he's coming off his best year in 2022 when he posted 10 receptions for 132 yards with the Giants. The Bengals have a deep skill-position group overall but are thin at tight end, so Hudson could see time with the team at some point in 2023.

The Bills signed Wilson to the practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Wilson was in camp with the Bills but faced a long road to a roster spot due to the presence of Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid. He's now set to offer organizational depth at tight end, though his impact is likely to be limited.

Vokolek was picked up by the Ravens' practice squad Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Vokolek had a good preseason, including a two-touchdown performance against the Commanders on Aug. 21. He signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska and will continue to work towards an opportunity to move up to the team's active roster.

Mason was picked up by the Ravens' practice squad Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Mason was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday. He has yet to play in an NFL game since being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent last year on Baltimore's practice squad and will resume that role to start the 2023 season.

Seikovits signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Thursday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

Seikovits signed a reserve/future contract with Arizona in January after spending the 2022 season on the team's practice squad. He's yet to play an NFL game, but his familiarity with the Cardinals' playbook could give him an inside chance on moving up to the active roster this season should a spot open.

Vannett signed with the Chargers' practice squad Thursday, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports.

Vannett was released by the Texans on Tuesday after joining the team on Aug. 2. The 2016 third-round pick out of Ohio State played with both the Saints and Giants last season where he registered six catches for 55 yards in nine games. He'll acclimate himself to the Chargers' playbook as he awaits an opportunity to be called up to the team's active roster.

Lumpkin signed with the Colts' practice squad Thursday.

Lumpkin was let go by the Patriots on Sunday after failing to haul in a catch in three preseason games. He'll now continue to work on his craft in Indianapolis while awaiting an opportunity to get called up to the active roster.

Sullivan (undisclosed) will start the season on injured reserve, Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official website reports.

The nature of Sullivan's injury is unclear at this time. When healthy, he is viewed as a depth tight end and special-teams contributor for Carolina. He is now required to miss at least four games, so he will be sidelined until at least Week 5.

The Falcons have opted to carry four tight ends on their 53-man roster, including FitzPatrick, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports

FitzPatrick missed his entire rookie campaign in 2022 due to reoccurring foot issues. He ultimately overcame two surgeries and returned in time for OTAs in June. The big-bodied tight end doesn't project for a ton of fantasy value, as he is primarily seen as a blocking option for Atlanta's run-heavy offense.
