Strange (hip) was limited in his return to practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Meanwhile, fellow TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) -- who was inactive in Week 10 -- was unable to practice Wednesday. Strange now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Jaguars post injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. In any case, Strange would need to be activated from IR by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to see his first game action since Oct.6. Prior to being sidelined, Strange recorded a 20-204-0 receiving line line on 24 targets in five contests.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, the Texans' official site reports.

It was a busy news day for Houston's tight ends. In addition to Bryant sitting out, starting TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was unable to go, and Cade Stover (foot) was designated to return and practiced for the first time since breaking his foot in the season opener.

Gadsden (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Previous reports indicated that Gadsden was dealing with a quad bruise, but he's listed with a knee issue on the Chargers' Week 11 injury report. In any case, the tight end's full participation Wednesday paves the way for him to play Sunday against the Jaguars, and in the process maintain his key role in Los Angeles' passing offense, a context that has kept Gadsden on the fantasy radar since his production picked up in Week 6.

Long (hip/knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Long didn't practice last week before being ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Texans, with another DNP now clouding his Week 11 status. Fellow tight end Brenton Strange (hip) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and if he's able to return to action this weekend, he'd be in a position to reclaim his spot in the Jaguars' starting lineup.

Schultz (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.

Schultz was managing knee and shoulder issues last week, but now he's listed only with a shoulder injury on the Texans' initial Week 11 injury report. So far we haven't heard anything to suggest that the tight end's status for Sunday's game against the Titans is in danger, so it's possible that Schultz's absence from Wednesday's session was maintenance-related. A return to practice Thursday -- in any capacity -- would support that notion.

Likely (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Likely was on the field for 56 percent of the Ravens' snaps on offense in the team's Week 10 win over the Vikings, catching two of his four targets in the contest for 17 yards. The tight end has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, but Likely's fantasy impact has been modest most weeks while working in a timeshare that has favored fellow TE Mark Andrews.

Fannin (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Fannin approached Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets listed as questionable but suited up for the contest en route to recording a 66 percent snap share and catching four of his seven targets for 44 yards. With no reported setbacks, chances are Fannin's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. Either way, the tight end has two more chances to practice fully before Week 11 injury designations are posted by the Browns.

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

Okonkwo managed to play through his foot injury when the Titans last took the field -- Week 9 versus the Chargers -- but resting up during the team's Week 10 bye wasn't enough time for the tight end to get fully healthy. Still, unless he takes a step back and misses practice Thursday and/or Friday, Okonkwo seems likely to be able to play through the injury again Sunday versus Houston. Across nine regular-season appearances so far, Okonkwo has secured 29 of 39 targets for 281 scoreless receiving yards.

Bellinger (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Bellinger has been targeted in seven of nine appearances this season en route to a modest 12-202-1 line on 14 targets. He missed Week 9 due to a neck injury and now is tending to a new health concern. Bellinger's status thus is one to monitor as the week proceeds to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday against the Packers.

Hawes secured one of two targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

Hawes scored his second touchdown of the season versus Miami, a contest that saw top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) depart early due to injury. With Kincaid reportedly now week-to-week, Hawes appears primed to benefit from increased opportunities on offense alongside Dawson Knox, beginning Sunday at home against the Buccaneers.
