  • Jalin Conyers TE | MIA

    Jalin Conyers: Lands on waivers

    The Dolphins waived Conyers (leg) on Thursday.

    Conyers spent the 2025 season on the Dolphins' injured reserve due to a leg injury. He's evidently healthy now, given that Thursday's transaction didn't carry an injury designation, and he'll likely seek a depth role elsewhere. Conyers last played in 2024 when he caught 30 passes for 320 yards and five touchdowns at Texas Tech, adding eight carries for 31 yards and two scores.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Past toe injury

    Helm (toe) is participating in OTAs this week, Buck Reising of AtoZ Sports Nashville reports.

    Helm missed the Titans' regular-season finale back in January but appears to be back to full health after compiling 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets as a rookie last season. With Chig Okonkwo now with the Commanders, Helm looks poised to win the TE1 job with the Titans this summer. His main competition for playing time will come from blocking types Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson.

  • Panthers' Heinrich Haarberg: Picked up by Carolina

    Haarberg signed with the Panthers on Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Haarberg spent three years at Nebraska before going undrafted this past April. Ahead of the 2025 season, he transitioned from quarterback to tight end. During that season, the 23-year-old appeared in nine games and tallied eight receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. Now in Carolina, he'll compete for a spot on the active roster as the offseason progresses.

  • Bryce Pierre TE | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Pierre: Reverts to IR

    Pierre (undisclosed) reverted to Carolina's injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Pierre was let go by the Panthers on Monday but will remain with the team after going unclaimed on waivers. The 25-year-old spent last season on Carolina's practice squad but didn't appear in any games and will now have to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

  • Caden Prieskorn: Waived by Cleveland

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Has moved past knee issue

    Kincaid (knee) was a participant in the Bills' OTAs on Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Per Capaccio, Kincaid -- who is bouncing back from a PCL injury -- didn't require an offseason procedure to address the issue, and with regard to his health, the tight end noted Tuesday, "I'd say it's probably the best I've felt in my career at this point in the year...I feel really good." As the coming campaign approaches, Kincaid is set to maintain his key role in a Bills passing offense that has been fortified by the trade acquisition of WR DJ Moore. As long as Kincaid can stay healthy, the 2023 first-rounder should see enough weekly volume to maintain fantasy utility in 2026, on the heels of having recorded a 39-571-5 receiving line in 12 regular-season contests in 2025.

  • Bryce Pierre TE | CAR

    Bryce Pierre: Waived by Panthers

    The Panthers waived Pierre (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
