  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Gets early QUEST tag for Super Bowl

    Henry (rest) is listed as questionable on Friday's injury report ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

    Henry was estimated as DNP on Wednesday, was then listed as limited Thursday and finished the week with a designation of full. His injury tag is simply "rest," so not much should be read into the initial questionable label -- in fact, the Patriots appeared to play it safe with their statuses this week, tagging all nine players (including the four who were deemed full participants Friday and the three who were DNPs all week) as questionable. There's nothing at this point to suggest that Henry is actually in any danger of missing the Super Bowl, and next week's New England practice reports should provide much more insight into the health of the roster ahead of the title game versus Seattle.

  • Thomas Gordon TE | CHI

    Lions' Thomas Gordon: Gets future deal with Detroit

    The Lions signed Gordon to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

    Gordon spent most of the regular season without a team before catching on with the Bears as a member of the practice squad in late December. With a future contract, the undrafted rookie out of Northwestern will be on the Lions' 90-man roster when the offseason officially kicks off Feb. 9, which will allow him to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Won't require offseason surgery

    Kincaid (knee) said Thursday he will not require surgery to address the torn PCL he played through during the 2025 campaign, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Kincaid confirmed that the PCL tear is the same injury he initially suffered in November 2024, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, and that he continued to "tweak it" in different situations throughout the 2025 campaign. That knee injury forced Kincaid to miss five regular-season games and limited his snap count, as he didn't play over 50 percent of offensive snaps a single time after Week 5. Still, the 2023 first-round pick took a step forward as a pass catcher, totaling a 39-571-5 receiving line across 12 regular-season appearances. As Kincaid prepares to rehab his injury again this offseason, he'll focus on strengthening his knee to avoid having to deal with continual issues again in the 2026 season.

  • Eric Saubert TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Eric Saubert: No targets in win

    Saubert wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Saubert served as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner, handling 38 of 67 offensive snaps (57 percent). His workload could get reduced if Elijah Arroyo is active for the Super Bowl versus the Patriots, but regardless, he's not a dependable fantasy option with just 41 receiving yards through the regular season and postseason.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Quiet in win

    Barner caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Barner didn't record a catch in the NFC divisional-round win over the 49ers, and he had a limited role in this contest despite playing 64 of 67 offensive snaps. The second-year tight end reeled in six touchdown passes over 17 regular-season games, so he'll have some upside due to his role in the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.

  • Mark Redman TE | LAR

    Rams' Mark Redman: Sticking around with Rams

    Redman signed a reserve/future contract with the Rams on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Redman will be on the Rams' 90-man roster when the offseason kicks off Feb. 9, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He spent the entire 2025 season on the Rams' practice squad after signing with the team in May as an undrafted free agent.

  • Caleb Lohner TE | DEN

    Broncos' Caleb Lohner: Gets future deal with Denver

    The Broncos signed Lohner to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    The rookie seventh-rounder spent the entire season on the Broncos' practice squad after not making the 53-man roster following the conclusion of training camp. Lohner's lone elevation to the active roster came ahead of the Broncos' AFC divisional-round clash against the Bills, but he ended up being a healthy scratch. A future contract means Lohner will be on the Broncos' 90-man roster when the offseason officially kicks off Feb. 9, which will allow the Utah product to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Key drop in NFCCG loss

    Parkinson caught three of four targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

    Parkinson finished third on the team in receiving yards behind wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but the only pass that the tight end didn't catch will haunt him. Parkinson's drop came on a third down deep in Seattle territory in the fourth quarter with plenty of room to run in front of him. He likely would have scored the go-ahead touchdown had he caught the ball on the play, and while the Rams kept that drive going by converting on fourth down, they eventually turned the ball over on downs and lost by four. It was a sour note to cap an otherwise sweet season from Parkinson, who caught 43 of 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 regular-season appearances before adding eight catches for 152 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets spread across three playoff games. He has one year remaining on a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Two catches in low-scoring AFCCG

    Henry caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

    Neither passing game did much in challenging wintry conditions, as Drake Maye threw for only 86 yards. New England's defense carried the team into Super Bowl LX, in which Henry will face the Seahawks. Henry could be a key component of New England's game plan against a Seattle defense that has been supbar at defending tight ends this season while excelling against other skill positions.

  • Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Disappointing season in 2025

    Schoonmaker caught 14 of 23 targets for 132 yards and zero touchdowns over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025.

    The 2023 second-round pick has yet to miss a game in the NFL career, but Schoonmaker has done little else of note. His receiving numbers took a tumble from the 27-241-1 line he posted in 2024, and undrafted second-year player Brevyn Spann-Ford has moved past him on the depth chart due to his superior run blocking, although neither player is a threat to starting TE Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker has one more year left on his rookie contract, but he hasn't done much to secure a spot in the Cowboys' long-term plans.
