  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Helps both teams

    Higbee caught three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 31-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Higbee started the game by having a drop turn into an interception returned for a touchdown on Los Angeles' second drive. To his credit, he responded with a 10-yard score during the second quarter, his third on the campaign. However, with another drop later on, it wasn't a performance for Higbee to remember fondly. He'll now enter the Rams' bye week on a sour note and strive to clean his play up in Week 12 versus the Packers.

  • Tyler Mabry TE | CAR

    Tyler Mabry: Added to Seattle's practice squad

    Mabry was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.

    Mabry was waived by Seattle on Friday but will return to the team after being added to the practice squad. He appeared predominantly as a special-teams player through the first five weeks of the season and hasn't been elevated to the 53-man roster since Week 7.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Scores against Rams

    Kittle caught five of seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 31-10 win over the Rams.

    Kittle opened the Niners' scoring with a leaping, eight-yard touchdown in the first quarter, finding the end zone for the second time in as many games since returning from injury. Although he didn't approach last week's 110 yards, Kittle still brought his signature physicality to both the passing and running games, staving off would-be tacklers after the catch while cleaning up as a blocker as well. Back as a regular fixture within San Francisco's offense, Kittle will look to keep his strong momentum going in a favorable Week 11 matchup versus the Jaguars.

  • Kenny Yeboah TE | ARI

    Kenny Yeboah: Heads back to practice squad

    Yeboah reverted back to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Yeboah got the call up to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Bills with Tyler Kroft (chest) on IR. Despite the promotion, Yeboah only saw the field on 11 special-teams snaps. He'll try to earn another chance on the active roster in a Week 11 matchup against Miami.

  • Parker Hesse TE | DET

    Parker Hesse: Reverts to practice squad

    Hesse reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Hesse was a gameday elevation for Sunday's blowout loss and played 19 offensive snaps without receiving a target. Hayden Hurst (ankle) and Lee Smith (back) are battling injuries, so Hesse could rejoin the active roster as a depth option at tight end for Thursday's matchup with the Patriots.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Wilcox: Lands on COVID list

    Wilcox (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    It's unclear whether or not Wilcox tested positive for the virus, but he'll need to clear the health and safety protocols regardless. C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample are the remaining tight ends on Cincinnati's active roster.

  • Jonnu Smith TE | PIT

    Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Listed as limited on practice estimate

    Smith (shoulder) was listed as a limited on Monday's practice estimate.

    Though Smith was able to practice in a limited fashion last week, he was inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns. With that in mind, we'd expect him to approach this Thursday night's game against the Falcons listed as questionable, and if he remains out Week 11, Hunter Henry would be in line to continue to head the Patriots' tight end corps, with Devin Asiasi and Matt LaCosse in reserve.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Concussion confirmed

    Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed Goedert was placed in the NFL's concussion protocol after Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Goedert sustained the concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Denver safety Justin Simmons and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He finished with two receptions for 28 yards on two targets. Goedert now will have to navigate the NFL's five-step protocol for head injuries in the coming days as he looks to gain clearance for the Eagles' Week 11 matchup with the Saints.

  • Hayden Hurst TE | LAC

    Falcons' Hayden Hurst: Idle to begin Week 11 prep

    Hurst (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Hurst is unsurprisingly still hobbled one day after picking up an ankle injury in Sunday's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys. He didn't record any statistics before departing the contest, and he'll now be at risk of missing his first game of the season with the Falcons facing a quick turnaround Thursday night against the Patriots. The Falcons should have a better idea by Wednesday if Hurst will be available for the Week 11 contest.

  • Foster Moreau TE | HOU

    Raiders' Foster Moreau: Role declining since Waller return

    Moreau played 21 of the Raiders' 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs but didn't draw a target or record any other statistics.

    Since putting up a 6-60-1 receiving line on six targets in a starting role during the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Eagles, Moreau predictably has seen his opportunities decline following top tight end Darren Waller's return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. In Las Vegas' two games since its Week 8 bye, Moreau has ran only 23 pass routes and hasn't been targeted, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press.
