Freiermuth exited Sunday's game against the Titans to be evaluated for a concussion, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Freiermuth totaled four catches for 37 yards before leaving the contest during the third quarter. Zach Gentry will work as Pittsburgh's No. 1 tight end while Freiermuth is sidelined.

Seals-Jones didn't participate in Sunday's practice due to an illness, making his status uncertain for Tuesday's game against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Washington hasn't placed Seals-Jones on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but his situation will bear watching over the next two days with 13 members of the Football Team roster still residing on the list as of Sunday. John Bates worked with the first-team offense at Friday's practice and would be in line to start at tight end if Seals-Jones can't gain clearance for Tuesday's game. Washington would likely elevate fullback Alex Armah from the practice squad to provide depth at the position behind Bates in that scenario.

Hollister is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hollister hasn't seen game action since Week 6 but will suit up for the first game with interim coach Darrell Bevell leading the way. The 28-year-old should work as the No. 3 tight end in place of Luke Farrell, who is a healthy scratch Sunday.

Farrell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Farrell will be inactive for the second time this season with interim coach Darrell Bevell now leading the Jaguars. Jacob Hollister will instead serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end behind James O'Shaughnessy and Chris Manhertz.

Jordan (hand) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

Jordan logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's session. Though he's available Sunday, it remains to be seen if the tight end's hand injury will limit his workload versus Jacksonville. The 2021 fifth-rounder is coming off a Week 14 effort in which he caught four of season-high seven targets for 26 yards and a TD in Houston's loss to Seattle. With Pharaoh Brown, Jordan Akins and Antony Auclair also in the team's Week 15 TE mix, a banged-up Jordan profiles as a speculative Week 15 fantasy lineup option.

Rader (hip) is inactive Week 15 against the Titans.

Rader missed Thursday's practice, which was sandwiched between a pair of limited sessions, causing him to enter the week with a questionable tag. The second-year tight end has served only in a depth role this season, so his absence shouldn't have much of an effect on the Pittsburgh offensive game plan.

Ertz (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at Detroit.

A late-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report, Ertz will sidestep the hamstring issue that limited him at Friday's practice and earned him a questionable designation for this contest. Now that he's been confirmed as available for Week 15 action, he'll look to strike against a Lions defense that has allowed nearly 8.0 yards per target (seventh worst in the NFL) but only four total TDs (tied for 18th most) to tight ends in 13 games this season.

Ertz (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's against the Lions, is on track to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Ertz's availability will be confirmed before the first wave of games Sunday, given that Arizona and Detroit kick off at 1 p.m. ET. The tight end was added to Cardinals' injury report Friday after logging a limited practice due to a hamstring issue.

Henry caught six of eight targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 27-17 loss to the Colts.

He was the leading receiver for either team on the night, and both of Mac Jones' TD passes wound up in Henry's secure hands on a pair of red-zone strikes in the fourth quarter. The tight end has a career-high nine touchdowns on the season through 14 games, and he'll look to reach double digits in a Week 16 rematch with the Bills.

Hopkins was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Hopkins hit the list Tuesday but was eligible for a quick return because he had been vaccinated. With Tyler Higbee still on the COVID list, the Purdue product should be the Rams' No. 2 tight end Sunday against Seattle behind Kendall Blanton.
