Foster Moreau TE | NO
Saints' Foster Moreau: Returns to action Sunday
Moreau has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns after hurting his shoulder in the first quarter, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Moreau exited in the first quarter after being slammed to the ground on an attempted catch, and he was initially deemed questionable to return. However, the tight end has since been able to re-enter the contest. Moreau will thus be able to continue working as part of the Saints' tight-end trio along with Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Leaves game with shoulder injury
Moreau (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
Moreau got slammed to the ground while making a catch late in the first quarter, which was ultimately nullified by a holding call. Moreau managed to walk back to the bench under his own power, and while he is being evaluated, Dallin Holker could see more snaps on offense behind Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

Michael Mayer TE | LV
Raiders' Michael Mayer: Playing for first time since Week 3
Mayer (personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Mayer had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but after practicing fully Wednesday through Friday and then being reinstated from the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday, his availability for Sunday's contest never appeared to be in much jeopardy. He'll be suiting up for the first time since Week 3, after having missed the Raiders' last six games prior to the team's Week 10 bye while tending to a personal matter. With fellow tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) sitting out Sunday, look for Mayer to serve as the clear No. 2 option behind standout rookie Brock Bowers. Over his first three appearances of 2024, Mayer's snap shares ranged between 49 and 63 percent, with the 23-year-old producing a 4-21-0 receiving line on seven targets.

MyCole Pruitt TE | PIT
Steelers' MyCole Pruitt: Inactive for Week 11
Pruitt (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pruitt missed practice all week due to a knee injury he aggravated in Week 10 against the Commanders. Given his lack of practice participation, Pruitt may also be in danger of missing the Steelers' Week 12 game against the Browns on Thursday, Nov. 21. The Steelers will roll with Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward as the three tight ends for Sunday's contest.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Unlikely to play Sunday
Kittle (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, is unlikely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 49ers will see how he feels pregame, but at this stage, the team isn't optimistic that Kittle will be able to play still be a chance he can play. Official word on Kittle's status will arrive 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, when the 49ers release their inactive list. After handling a normal snap count in the 49ers' Week 10 win over the Buccaneers, Kittle sat out Wednesday's practice with the hamstring injury, then was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday. Eric Saubert would likely start at tight end if Kittle is inactive, but he would serve primarily as a blocker and wouldn't be nearly as involved as Kittle in the passing game.

Tyler Mabry TE | SEA
Seahawks' Tyler Mabry: Signed to active roster
The Seahawks signed Mabry from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Mabry was unable to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Though he hasn't been elevated this season, he'll be on Seattle's active roster for Sunday's game against San Francisco. With Noah Fant (groin) and Brady Russell (foot) sidelined, Mabry will serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 tight end behind AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown.

Michael Mayer TE | LV
Raiders' Michael Mayer: Activated off NFI list
Mayer (personal) was activated from the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He still remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.
Brock Bowers has been one of the Raiders' few revelations this season, so even if Mayer does end up playing Sunday, it's hard to imagine the second-year tight end cutting into Bowers' pass-catching opportunities significantly.
