  • Ben Sinnott TE | WAS

    Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Cleared for Week 13

    Sinnott (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Washington's matchup versus the Broncos on Sunday.

    Sinnott is healthy again after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 10 loss to Detroit. The 2024 second-round pick should resume his role as the team's No. 3 tight end against Denver.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Limited at practice Wednesday

    Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Njoku continues to manage a knee issue, but as long as he's able to practice fully by Friday he'll be on track to approach Sunday's game against the 49ers without an injury designation. With just one catch (on two targets) over his last two games, a span in which fellow TE Harold Fannin has combined for six catches on 11 targets, Njoku profiles as a hit-or-miss Week 13 fantasy lineup option.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Misses practice Wednesday

    Mayer (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Mayer exited this past Sunday's loss to the Browns after logging 13 snaps on offense, and the tight end's DNP on Wednesday clouds his Week 13 status. Mayer now has two more chances to practice before the Raiders unveil their final injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Limited in return to practice

    Waller (pectoral) has had his 21-day practice window opened and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Waller is practicing for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury Week 7 versus the Browns and being placed on IR. While it's possible the veteran tight end could gain clearance to retake the field as early as Sunday's contest against the Saints, he may first need to prove an ability to handle full practice reps. Once back in action, Waller will join Jaylen Waddle (foot), Malik Washington and RB De'Von Achane as one of the Dolphins' top options in the passing game. In the event that Waller misses any more time, Greg Dulcich will continue to operate as Miami's top pass-catching tight end.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Limited in practice Wednesday

    Okonkwo (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Okonkwo has regularly played through his lingering foot injury as of late, so as long as he maintains at least a limited participation level at practice there will be no genuine cause for concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He logged three limited practices Week 12 but wasn't assigned an injury designation heading into Tennessee's loss to the Seahawks, in which he secured three of four targets for 40 yards.

  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Resumes practicing in full

    Long (hip/knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Long has missed three straight games while managing a pair of injuries, but he now appears back to full health and ready to retake the field Sunday versus the Titans. He'll handle the No. 2 tight end role behind Brenton Strange, who returned from IR in Week 12 to lead Jacksonville in receiving against Arizona, securing all five of his targets for 93 yards.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Not playing Thursday

    Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Wright was held out of all three walkthroughs during Week 13 prep and thus will miss his first game of the season due to a neck injury. With Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve and unlikely to play again this season, Ross Dwelley will be the primary beneficiary among Lions tight ends Thursday, while Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad. Wright's next chance for game action is next Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Cowboys.

  • Brenden Bates TE | CLE

    Browns' Brenden Bates: Likely out for Week 13

    Bates (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Per Jackson, the Kentucky product is likely out for Sunday's contest against the 49ers after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 12 win over the Raiders. Bates has appeared in seven games for the Texans and Browns this season, failing to record an offensive stat across 70 total snaps (41 on offense, 29 on special teams).

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Still not practicing

    Kincaid (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    While coach Sean McDermott noted this past Friday that Kincaid was improving, the tight end hasn't been able to practice since hurting his hamstring in Week 10. When asked Wednesday if Kincaid could return to action Sunday against the Steelers, McDermott replied, "We'll see, there's a chance." If Kincaid is unable to return this weekend, however, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes would continue to handle Buffalo's tight end duties in Week 13.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Won't play Thursday

    Gray (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Gray's next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 7 against the Texans. In his absence Thursday afternoon, Robert Tonyanand Jared Wiley will be next in line for TE snaps that don't go to starter Travis Kelce.
