Coach Brian Daboll said Bellinger (eye) is back with the Giants after Sunday's win at Jacksonville, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Bellinger exited the contest after he was poked in the eye during his only catch (a 13-yarder) just before halftime, requiring a cart to get the locker room. He was seen with a lot of blood on the front of his jersey, and Daboll also told Vacchiano afterward that Bellinger's "eye looks terrible right now." There's no telling if Bellinger's status is in peril for next Sunday's visit to Seattle. The other tight ends on the Giants' active roster are Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson.

Brown, who exited Sunday's game against the Ravens, is being evaluated for a possible concussion, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Initial reports suggested that the tight send suffered a neck issue, but he's now getting checked for concussion symptoms. His exit from Sunday's contest taxes the Browns' Week 7 depth at tight end, with David Njoku already out due to an ankle injury.

Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

For a second straight game, the Broncos have made Okwuegbunam a healthy scratch, instead going with the quartet of Greg Dulcich, Eric Saubert, Eric Tomlinson and Andrew Beck at tight end. Okwuegbunam's next opportunity to suit up arrives next Sunday at Jacksonville.

Brown left Sunday's game against the Ravens with a neck injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

With Brown injured and David Njoku out of the game due to an ankle injury, Harrison Bryant is the Browns' lone healthy tight end in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest.

Kroft (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

Kroft hasn't played since Week 2, but he was previously dealing with a knee injury. However, the veteran tight end was able to log full practices this week. Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley will continue to backup George Kittle.

Njoku was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Njoku caught all seven of his targets for 71 yards. In his absence Sunday, Harrison Bryant and Pharaoh Brown are candidates to see added snaps. Njoku will look to bounce back from his ankle issue in time for Cleveland's Oct. 31 contest against the Bengals.

Bellinger (eye) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Bellinger had to be carted to the locker room and was seen with blood on the front of his jersey after he appeared to be poked in the eye late in the first half. According to Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports, the 22-year-old was also taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation, which should provide more clarity on the exact nature of this injury. Bellinger's next opportunity to play will come against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 30.

Turner won't return to Sunday's game versus Green Bay after suffering a concussion, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Turner had to be escorted to the locker room after hitting his head on the field while trying to make a catch late in the second quarter. Washington entered the contest already down starting tight end Logan Thomas (calf), so John Bates and Armani Rogers should handle the position for the rest of the game.

Jordan (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Raiders, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.

The second-year tight end will therefore be active for the first time since Week 2 after finally overcoming his ankle issue. His return will make the Texans' tight end picture even murkier, as O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins remain on hand as well for snaps at the position.

Bellinger (undisclosed) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

At the end of a 13-yard catch late in the second quarter, Bellinger appeared to get poked in the eye by a Jaguars defender. The nature of his injury is unclear, but he was spotted with blood on the front of his jersey as he was taken off the field, per Mark Long of the Associated Press.
