Noah Togiai TE | PHI
Noah Togiai: Reverts to practice squad
Togiai reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Friday.
Togiai joined the Eagles' active roster for Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers, but he didn't play. He could return to the active roster to provide depth at some point after Zach Ertz was traded to the Cardinals on Friday.

Darrell Daniels TE | DET
Cardinals' Darrell Daniels: Clear for Week 6
Daniels (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
After a near week-long stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Daniels cleared league protocols and was brought back to the active roster Tuesday. No matter, the Cardinals capped his reps in the first two practices of Week 6 prep before allowing him to handle all of them Friday. Daniels thus will be available for the first time since Week 4, only this time he'll be the team's top tight end in the wake of Maxx Williams' likely season-ending knee injury. Arizona did swing a deal for Zach Ertz on Friday, but because he played Thursday against the Buccaneers, he isn't eligible to play until Week 7 against the Texans. Until then, Daniels, Demetrius Harris and practice squad member Ross Travis will handle TE duties for the Cards.

David Njoku TE | LAC
Browns' David Njoku: Cleared for Week 6
Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Arizona.
Njoku was unable to practice Wednesday but returned in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday, which was enough to clear him. The 25-year-old tight end will look to build on last week's excellent performance (149 yards and a touchdown) at home against the league's last remaining undefeated team.

Robert Tonyan TE | PIT
Packers' Robert Tonyan: Ready for Sunday
Tonyan (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Chicago, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
He was a limited practice participant throughout the week but never appeared in serious danger of missing the game. Tonyan has caught just nine of 17 targets (52.9 percent) this year, after leading all TEs in 2020 with an 88.1 percent catch rate. In terms of volume, he's dropped from 3.7 targets per game to 3.2, while his snap share (61.1 percent) is nearly identical to last year.

Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI
Texans' Pharaoh Brown: Good to go for Week 6
Brown (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.
Brown was able to work his way off the injury report by progressing throughout the week. He missed practice Wednesday before practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and finally upgraded to full participation Friday. Brown and Jordan Akins should continue to split reps at tight end.

T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN
Lions' T.J. Hockenson: Officially listed as questionable
Hockenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Hockenson played through the same injury last week and handled an 81 percent snap share against Minnesota, though he finished with only two catches for 22 yards on three targets. Limited practices Thursday and Friday put him on track to play again, with the Lions and Bengals kicking off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Jesse James TE | LV
Bears' Jesse James: Back for Week 6
James (personal) doesn't appear on Chicago's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.
James missed Chicago's previous game due to personal reasons but should make his return for this clash of NFC North rivals. With Cole Kmet and Jimmy Graham occupying the top two spots on the Bears' tight end depth chart, James isn't expected to play a major role in his return.
-
J.P. Holtz TE | NO
Bears' J.P. Holtz: Remains sidelined in Week 6
Holtz (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Holtz will sit out a second consecutive game due to this quad injury. He's still searching for his first catch of the season.
-
Blake Bell TE | KC
Chiefs' Blake Bell: Ruled out for Week 6
Bell (back) won't play in Sunday's contest against Washington, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Bell didn't practice at all this week, so his status for Sunday shouldn't be a surprise. The 30-year-old has played at least 17 offensive snaps in all five games this season, so Noah Gray and Jody Fortson should be in line for an increased workload behind Travis Kelce on Sunday.

Tyree Jackson TE | WAS
Eagles' Tyree Jackson: Still rehabbing
Jackson (back) is still in the process of rehabbing his injury, coach Nick Sirianni revealed Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Jackson has been sidelined since mid-August, when he suffered a fracture in his back. This update suggests the tight end's return certainly isn't imminent, though Sirianni didn't divulge a concrete timetable.
