Johnson caught his lone target for eight yards in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

Johnson played second fiddle to Adam Trautman at the tight end, seeing two fewer targets. Since bursting on the scene with two touchdowns in the Saints' blowout win over the Packers in the season opener, Johnson has produced a 4-51-1 receiving line on eight targets over New Orleans' subsequent five contests.

Stoll failed to draw a target in Sunday's 33-23 loss the the Raiders.

Operating as the No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert, Stoll played 19 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Stoll will likely remain next in line behind Goedert, but he won't see nearly as sizable of a role as Zach Ertz handled prior to being dealt to Arizona.

Dissly wasn't targeted in Monday's 13-10 loss to the Saints.

Dissly scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 6. However, he failed to receive a target for the second time this season in Week 7 despite recording 40 offensive snaps, ahead of Gerald Everett (33). Dissly has now produced 10 receptions (12 targets) for 118 yards and a touchdown through seven contests.

Everett caught all three of his targets for 11 yards and rushed once for 12 yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to the Saints.

The Seahawks leaned heavily on the ground game, rushing the ball 28 times compared to just 22 passing attempts, so Will Dissly out-snapped Everett 40-33 due to his superior blocking ability. However, Dissly didn't receive a target. Everett has now produced 13 receptions (15 targets) for 128 yards and a touchdown through five games.

Daniels (hamstring) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Daniels didn't practice at all last week and was inactive for the Cardinals' Week 7 win over the Texans, so it is a positive sign to see him back at practice, even if it is in a limited fashion. Arizona faces Green Bay on Sunday, so Daniels will have one more shot Wednesday to log a full practice. If he is unable to suit up Thursday, Demetrius Harris will likely operate as the backup to recently acquired Zach Ertz.

Okwuegbunam (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Okwuegbunam is thus eligible to resume practicing as of Tuesday, but because he's still on IR, the Broncos won't have to disclose the extent of his participation until he officially rejoins the 53-man roster. With that in mind, gauging whether he's on pace to play Sunday against Washington could be difficult, but whenever he's brought off IR within the next 21 days, he should step back in as the No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant. Before he landed on IR on Oct. 9 due to his hamstring injury, Okwuegbunam recorded nine receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets through Denver's first four games.

Oliver caught two of five targets for 29 yards against the Bengals on Sunday.

This was Oliver's best game of the season, as he notched season highs in yards (29), snaps (19) and targets (5). He has seen more than 15 snaps in back-to-back weeks, but Sunday was likely an anomaly in terms of his target volume. Baltimore is on bye before returning Week 9 to face Minnesota.

Hudson reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Hudson was elevated to the 49ers' active roster for Sunday's game against the Colts with George Kittle (calf) on injured reserve. The tight end saw just three snaps on special teams in the contest. Hudson now heads to the practice squad to await his next opportunity.

Blanton reverted to Los Angeles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Blanton was active for the first time this season for Sunday's win over the Lions. The tight end logged just two offensive snaps and six snaps on special teams. Blanton will now rejoin the practice squad and await another opportunity to be elevated to the active roster.

Bushman reverted to Las Vegas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Bushman made his debut on the active roster in Week 7 against the Eagles, playing on just 11 offensive snaps. He also was in on two special teams snaps. The tight end failed to record a single target in the contest.
