Jordan (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Jordan opened Week 14 prep with no activity Wednesday due to a hand injury, but he managed back-to-back limited sessions to close it and earn an injury designation. Assuming he gains clearance to suit up Sunday, he'll play second fiddle to starting tight end Pharoah Brown, which amounted to 11 catches (on 16 targets) for 87 yards and two touchdowns in five appearances between Weeks 8 and 13.

Wright is set to serve as the Lions' top tight end Sunday in Denver with T.J. Hockenson (hand) doubtful to play in the contest, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

An undrafted rookie, Wright didn't make it past roster cut-down day at the end of the preseason, but the Lions elevated him from the practice squad twice before signing him to the active roster for good Nov. 8 in the wake of Darren Fells' release. Since the Lions' Week 9 bye, Wright has earned between 28 and 51 percent of offensive snaps over the last four games, compiling four catches (on six targets) for 42 yards and one touchdown. The team will be without its top two running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) on Sunday, so Detroit may air it out a bit more than usual.

Hill (finger) will start Sunday's road game against the Jets, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

Hill emerged from the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys with an injured middle finger on his throwing hand. He played through what was termed mallet finger, but his accuracy was lacking to the eventual tune of 19-for-41 passing for 264 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. He was his dynamic self on the ground, though, with 11 carries for 101 yards. Hill will welcome Alvin Kamara (knee) back to the lineup after a four-game absence, but the offense will be without Mark Ingram (COVID-19 list), Deonte Harris (suspension), Ty Montgomery (COVID-19 list) and potentially Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring). Fortunately for Hill, he'll get to face the Jets' 32nd-ranked overall defense, which is 29th against the pass (263.4 yards per game).

Moreau will serve as the Raiders' top tight end Sunday at Kansas City with Darren Waller (knee/back) ruled out for the contest, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

In Waller's absence this past Sunday against Washington, Moreau earned 84 percent of Las Vegas' snaps on offense, but he only hauled in one of three targets for 34 yards. Moreau again is poised for a large workload, which he'll seek to take advantage of versus a Chiefs defense that has surrendered 8.2 yards per target (second most in the NFL) and six touchdowns (10th most) to tight ends in 12 games this season.

Waller (knee/back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Waller was unable to practice this week, which sets the stage for him to miss his second straight game. In his continued absence, Foster Moreau once again will see added opportunities in Las Vegas' passing game in Week 14.

Hockenson (hand) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Denver, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Hockenson was a limited practice participant Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday, with Detroit beat reporters noticing a heavy wrap over his left hand. The Lions are woefully thin for the upcoming contest, with around half the roster missing practice time this week due to some combination of injuries, a flu bug and COVID-19. With Hockenson likely missing the upcoming game, Brock Wright figures to step in as Detroit's top tight end.

Hudson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

Hudson has been unable to practice since suffering the ankle injury against the Patriots in Week 12. The reserve tight end will look to get back on the practice field when the Titans begin preparing for a Week 15 visit from the Steelers.

Hockenson (hand) didn't practice Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Coach Dan Campbell acknowledged RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is unlikely to play this week but didn't make any similar comments about Hockenson. The tight end has now missed back-to-back practices after a limited session Wednesday, with Friday's injury report potentially revealing if he's in real danger of missing the game in Denver on Sunday.

Hooper's slated to work as Cleveland's unquestioned top tight end Sunday against the Ravens, as Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports that Harrison Bryant (ankle) has been ruled out.

Bryant will be joined on the sideline by both David Njoku and Stephen Carlson, who are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving practice squad tight end Miller Forristall as the only healthy body at the position behind Hooper. Cleveland's depth at tight end has led to an inconsistent season for Hooper, but he won't have to worry about sharing targets in this rematch with a Ravens team that held him without a catch Week 12, when both Njoku and Bryant were healthy.

Coach Kevin Stefanski relayed Friday that Njoku, who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, won't play Sunday against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

With Njoku unavailable and Harrison Bryant (ankle) having been ruled out this week, Austin Hooper, who's coming off a zero-catch effort (on three targets) Week 12, figures to be busy versus Baltimore. In that context, Hooper is a bounce-back candidate Week 14 and merits fantasy lineup consideration as a streaming tight end option.
