The Bills placed Morris (undisclosed) on their practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Morris was active for one game so far this season. The tight end will look to fill an emergency reserve role for the Bills as soon as he's out of health and safety protocols.

Yeboah (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after testing positive for COVID, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Yeboah has worked his way up the Jets' tight end positional depth chart this season, starting on the practice squad but ultimately appearing in seven games so far. The undrafted rookie is still looking for his first career catch.

Pinkney was restored to the Rams' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Pinkney will now return to practice with the Rams with an eye on returning to the active roster. He was elevated for the Rams' Week 14 contest against the Cardinals but never played.

Moreau (abdomen/thigh) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Moreau was on the field for all 69 of the Raiders' snaps on offense in Monday's win over the Browns, so his listed limitations Wednesday could simply be a case of the team acknowledging that he came out of a busy Week 15 with some aches and pains. Meanwhile, Darren Waller (knee/back) logged a 'DNP' Wednesday, so provided Moreau's injury issues aren't a big concern, there's a decent chance he could head the Raiders' tight end corps again Sunday against the Broncos.

Waller (knee/back) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

It's not the greatest sign that Waller, who last suited up for a game Nov. 25, isn't ready to practice, but he still has two more chances to take the field in advance of Sunday's game against the Broncos. If Waller remains sidelined, however, Foster Moreau would be in line to continue to head the Raiders' Week 16 tight end corps, provided his listed abdomen and thigh issues (he was classified as limited Wednesday) don't impact his playing status.

Okwuegbunam (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Okwuegbunam dealt with a knee injury earlier in the season, so it's hard to gauge how much concern to have over his limited participation, as it's possible this was more of a maintenance decision. Despite being second on the tight end positional depth chart, Okwuegbunam has been a steady contributor for the Broncos this season, notching 31 catches on 36 targets for 325 yards and two touchdowns.

Bryant (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Unless Bryant is able to practice fully Thursday, he's likely to carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Packers. However, unless David Njoku's listed knee issue is something that might affect his Week 16 status, Bryant's fantasy upside will be capped, given that Austin Hooper was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Parham (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session.

Parham was stretchered off the field in Thursday's loss to Kansas City and was diagnosed with a concussion after the game. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity this week if he hopes to play Sunday against Houston.

The Saints placed Trautman (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Trautman's placement on the list was the result of a positive test of the virus, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He now may be in danger of missing Monday's game against the Dolphins, and he joins fellow tight end Juwan Johnson on the COVID-19 list after the latter landed there Tuesday. The Saints have Garrett Griffin (hamstring) and Dylan Soehner (undisclosed) on injured reserve, leaving Nick Vannett as the only healthy tight end on the active roster at the moment.

Ertz (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

This marks the third practice report in a row dating back to last week in which the Cardinals have listed Ertz as limited due to a hamstring issue. He wasn't worse for wear this past Sunday at Detroit, gathering in six off 11 targets for 74 yards. Thursday's report will relay whether he heads into Saturday's game versus the Colts with an injury designation.
