Ravens' Durham Smythe: Practices in full Thursday
Smythe (heel) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Smythe was limited during practice Wednesday, though he managed to participate fully Thursday. The 31-year-old veteran logged 108 offensive snaps for the Ravens throughout the first three weeks of the 2026 campaign, with fellow tight end Mark Andrews (hand) recording 123. However, Smythe hasn't done much of relevance in his three appearances, catching one pass (two targets) for four yards.

Ravens' Durham Smythe: Limited participant Wednesday
Smythe (heel) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Smythe likely suffered the heel injury during the Ravens' 34-31 win over the Cowboys in Rio. The tight end being a limited participant after recently sustaining the injury is a positive sign for his ability to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans. Smythe will likely need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's practice to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game.

Ravens' Durham Smythe: Blocking in Baltimore
The Ravens and Smythe have agreed to terms on a contract, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Smythe had a substantial role for the 2025 Bears as a blocking tight end for both the offense and special-teams unit. He'll now bring that skill set to Baltimore, likely as a replacement for Charlie Kolar, whom the Ravens lost to the Chargers in free agency. The 30-year-old Smythe caught just four passes in 17 games during the 2025 regular season, a number that may increase now that he is paired up with Lamar Jackson in a new Ravens offense.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Not targeted in finale
Smythe was not targeted in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Smythe finished the season playing all 17 games and caught four passes for 25 yards on six targets. He has totaled 13 receptions over the last two seasons while serving primarily as a blocking tight end, limiting his fantasy relevance to deep leagues. He is set to hit free agency.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Minimal involvement continues
Smythe caught his lone target for 11 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Smythe has now recorded one reception for 11 or fewer yards in four of his last seven contests, drawing just one target in this game. Those four catches account for all of his receiving production this season. His role remains too limited to provide reliable fantasy value outside of emergency depth situations.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Blocking role holds steady
Smythe caught one pass for two yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Smythe has three receptions this season, all coming over his last four contests and totaling 14 yards. His primary usage as a blocker and third tight-end role keep him as a non-factor in fantasy lineups.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Second catch of season
Smythe caught one pass for four yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Smythe primarily has been used as a blocker this season and his firsts reception came in the last two games despite regular snap involvement. His low route volume and limited targets keep him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest leagues.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Blocking duties dominate role
Smythe caught one pass for eight yards on three targets in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Smythe recorded his first catch of the season after playing at least 20 snaps in five of his previous seven games. Used primarily as an inline blocker, he's run more than six routes only once all year, keeping him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest of leagues.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Active Sunday
Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Questionable for Sunday
Smythe (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Smythe managed to log a limited practice Friday as he battles back from a calf injury. The 30-year-old tight end has taken a back seat in the passing game to both Cole Kmet and rookie Colston Loveland, having not received a single target through eight games this season. If Smythe is able to play, he will likely continue to be relegated to a limited role as a blocker for the offense.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Not involved in passing game in '25
Smythe wasn't targeted while playing eight of the Bears' 64 snaps on offense in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.
Smythe has yet to draw a target through five appearances on the season and will continue to be relegated to a limited role as a blocker on offense while fellow tight ends Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland are both available.

Bears' Durham Smythe: Joining Chicago
Smythe is signing a one-year contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Dolphins took Smythe in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft and then kept him on their roster (mostly as a blocker) until releasing him three weeks ago. He'll turn 30 in August and isn't likely to see many passes as the presumed No. 2 tight end behind long-time starter Cole Kmet. This signing is more about Chicago's running game than the passing attack, continuing an offseason makeover that's already seen the team hire a new head coach (Ben Johnson) and acquire two new guards (Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney).

Durham Smythe: Released after seven seasons
The Dolphins released Smythe on Friday.
Smythe was a fourth-round pick by the Dolphins in 2018 and appeared in 112 regular-season games for the team. However, following the addition of Jonnu Smith last offseason, Smythe's snaps and role took substantial hits. He played a six-year-low 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught just nine passes for 53 scoreless yards on 14 targets across 17 appearances. Smythe turns 30 years old in August. The move saves the Dolphins $2.175 million in cap space.
