Forristall reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Forristall was promoted for Thursday's win over the Steelers and played four offensive snaps to go along with 12 on special teams. He did not log any catches on one target.

Brown (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears after returning to a full practice Friday.

With Brevin Jordan ruled out, look for Brown, if active, and O.J. Howard to lead the Texans' Week 3 tight end corps, with Jordan Akins a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest. In Houston's loss to the Broncos last weekend, Brown caught three of his five targets for 24 yards, while logging 45 of a possible 63 snaps on offense.

Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

With Jordan unavailable, Pharaoh Brown, who is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury after practicing fully Friday, could see added Week 3 opportunities (if active) alongside O.J. Howard, with Jordan Akins a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.

Likely (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at New England.

Through two games, the rookie fourth-round pick has played a modest role for the Ravens, logging 38 percent of the offensive snaps to date. While operating behind Mark Andrews (83 percent) doesn't lend itself to a lot of work, Likely followed up getting blanked on four targets Week 1 with a 4-43-0 line on five targets this past Sunday against the Dolphins. After being limited Wednesday through Friday due to a groin injury, Likely's status for Week 3 won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Otton (personal) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Otton didn't practice all week due to personal reasons and will likely be sidelined for at least one game. If he's ruled out, Ko Kieft and Kyle Rudolph would be candidates for increased roles behind Cameron Brate.

McBride's role in the Cardinals offense is expected to grow as the season goes on, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said as much after Friday's practice, relaying McBride is "doing better and better." The rookie second-round pick was a healthy scratch Week 1, then logged just one offensive snap and 10 plays on special teams this past Sunday in Las Vegas. He's stuck behind top tight end Zach Ertz and a pair of veterans in Maxx Williams and Stephen Anderson, so managers may have to play the waiting game for McBride to get regular work in the offense. McBride's next chance to do so arrives Sunday afternoon against the Rams.

Parham (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Parham logged three limited practices Wednesday-Friday and has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. If available, Parham figures to garner a solid role next to newcomer Gerald Everett, who's caught nine of 14 targets for 125 yards and a score through his first two games with the Chargers.

Kittle (groin) has been cleared for Sunday's game against Denver, avoiding a designation on the 49ers' final injury report, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kittle was close to playing Week 2 against the Seahawks and might have been rushed back had the game been later in the season or against a better team. He'll instead make his 2022 debut in Denver, facing a defense that's yet to go up against a top receiving threat at tight end this year. It'll also be the first start of 2022 for longtime teammate Jimmy Garoppolo, who takes over for Trey Lance after the young QB suffered a season-ending ankle fracture last week.

Hockenson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Justin Rogers of The Detroit News suggests each of the four Lions listed as questionable is likely to play, including Hockenson and RB D'Andre Swift (ankle). The tight end managed limited practice participation Wednesday through Friday, putting him on track to be active ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. If not, Brock Wright would be the best bet for snaps and targets at tight end for the Lions.

Uzomah (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Uzomah logged a full practice Friday after a pair of limited sessions, putting him in a good position to return against his former team and limit his absence to just one game. Cimini adds that all the Jets listed as questionable for Week 3 are expected to play, further bolstering Uzomah's outlook.
