McKeon (ankle) has signed with the Cowboys' practice squad, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

McKeon was competing with Peyton Hendershot for the No. 3 tight end role with Dallas. While he ultimately came up short, he will remain with the team on the practice squad. So, he could potentially get called up to the 53-man roster at some point should the team become thin at his position.

Fotheringham signed with the Raiders' practice squad, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Fotheringham joined Las Vegas after going undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was unable to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, but he will now practice with the team and be available should they ultimately become thin at tight end.

The Texans signed Schreck to their practice squad Wednesday.

Schreck spent most of the offeseason with the Texans but was unable to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. After spending most of last season on the Bengals' practice squad, he'll attempt to carve out a role as part of Houston's practice squad.

Mack (undisclosed) reverted to the Packers' injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Barring an injury settlement, Mack will be sidelined for the entire 2022 campaign. The 2019 seventh-round pick is still looking to make his regular season NFL debut.

The Texans signed Akins to their practice squad Wednesday.

Akins spent the first four seasons of his career in Houston but signed with the Giants in April. He was held off the Giants' 53-man roster but will get a chance to carve out a role as part of the Texans' practice squad.

The Ravens placed Kolar (sports hernia) on injured reserve Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

Kolar underwent sports hernia surgery early in camp and will be unavailable to begin the regular season. However, the 23-year-old will be eligible to return after missing a minimum of four games, and he'll attempt to carve out a role behind Mark Andrews, Nick Boyle and Isaiah Likely once he's healthy.

The Giants cut Hudson on Wednesday, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

Hudson was cut by the 49ers last week and quickly latched on with the Giants. He initially made the 53-man roster but was let go just one day later. Hudson suited up for just two games with the 49ers last year after making 20 appearances across the two previous seasons in Tampa Bay.

New England signed Sokol to its practice squad Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith are entrenched as the Patriots' top two tight end options, but Sokol gives the team an in-house promotion option should added depth be needed at the position as the season progresses.

The 49ers re-signed Kroft on Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

As expected, Kroft has been brought back after being released ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The veteran tight end caught three passes for 42 yards during the preseason and figures to operate as the primary backup to George Kittle in 2022.

Parham (hamstring) returned to individual drills Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Parham hasn't practiced since injuring his left hamstring during a training camp practice at the beginning of August. He was initially considered week-to-week but hadn't shown much progress until he returned to practice Wednesday. If healthy for the Week 1 matchup with the Raiders, Parham could share reps at tight end with newcomer Gerald Everett.
