Ertz (concussion/shoulder) is expected to play Sunday versus the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ertz sustained a concussion during last Sunday's win against the Saints, and he was a limited participant while wearing a black, non-contact jersey for all three practices during Week 16 prep. Based on Schefter's report, the 34-year-old is trending toward being cleared by an independent neurologist in time for this weekend's divisional matchup. His official availability will be released 90 minutes prior to kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Ertz is active but still limited in any capacity, then No. 2 tight end John Bates could be in line for an increased role versus Washington.

Freiermuth recorded three receptions on three targets for 16 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Freiermuth had either topped 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in four straight games, though his momentum was halted in Saturday's loss. His longest gain went for just seven yards, and two of his catches came with Pittsburgh down multiple scores in the fourth quarter. Freiermuth should be more involved in Week 17 against the Chiefs, though his ability to rack up stats remains inconsistent.

Likely caught all three of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.

Both Ravens tight ends got into the end zone Saturday, with Likely opening the scoring in the first quarter with a nine-yard reception. The third-year player set new career highs in receptions (38) and receiving yards (430) with the performance, and his five TDs on the season ties the career high he set in 2023. Likely hasn't reached 40 yards in four straight games however, making him a TD-dependent fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against the Texans.

Andrews caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers. He also gained one rushing yard on his only carry.

The tight end got into the end zone for the fourth straight game on a seven-yard toss from Lamar Jackson that put the Ravens in the lead for good. Andrews has a 17-172-4 line on 20 targets over his TD streak, and he sits one score short of tying the career-high 10 touchdowns he recorded in 2019. Andrews will look for score no. 10 in Week 17 against the Texans.

The Vikings elevated Muse from the practice squad Saturday.

The 26-year-old tight end has appeared in four games for Minnesota this season, logging 17 offensive snaps and another 47 on special teams. He's yet to draw a target in the passing game and slots in as the Vikings' TE4 behind T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt.

Schultz caught five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs.

Schultz finished second on the team in targets behind Nico Collins (10), and Schultz will likely work as the team's second option in the passing game moving forward, as wide receiver Tank Dell exited due to a serious knee injury. The tight end scored his second touchdown of the season on a 10-yard catch in the second quarter. Both of those scores have come in the last three games after Schultz started the season on a 12-game touchdown drought. Schultz's arrow is pointing up ahead of a Christmas matchup with the Ravens.

Kelce caught five of seven targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Kelce had 15 receiving yards in each half. His touchdown drought now sits at six games, and Kelce has 45 or fewer receiving yards in each of his last three outings. The slumping tight end won't have to wait long to try to get back on track, as the Chiefs will be right back in action Wednesday against the Steelers for a Christmas Day matinee.

Musgrave (ankle), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Saints, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

For a second week in a row, Musgrave operated with a cap on his practice reps, but this time around he actually has a chance to play for the first time since Week 4. He'll need to be activated by 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday to get back on the active roster, and the Packers then will be required to post a list of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, which he'll need to avoid to be available again to Green Bay's offense.

Johnson (foot) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Packers.

Johnson practiced in full Saturday clearing the way for the veteran tight end to play Monday. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) out, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest/illness) listed as questionable despite failing to practice all week, Johnson might be the de-facto top target for backup quarterback Spencer Rattler.

Otton (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

This was predictable, as Otton was listed as doubtful following Friday's final injury report. Given the starting end won't travel with the team to Dallas, Payne Durham, Ko Kieft and Devin Culp will likely act as a positional platoon in an effort to replace Otton's multi-faceted capabilities.
