Uzomah caught all three of his targets for 15 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-11 win over the Lions.

With Sunday's score, Uzomah has now found the end zone three times this season. The 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end has been a boom-or-bust fantasy option through six games, racking up minimal catches and yards each week outside of his big outing against the Jaguars in Week 4, when he recorded five catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Going forward, Uzomah will likely continue to be a touchdown-dependent tight end in an offense flush with talented pass catchers.

Swaim recorded one reception on one target for eight yards in Monday's 34-31 win over Buffalo.

Swaim continues to play well over half of the offensive snaps for Tennessee, though he now has three consecutive games with only one target. He is primarily on the field due to his blocking, in turn limiting the amount of pass volume he will see.

Firkser recorded one reception on one target for 11 yards in Monday's 34-31 win over Buffalo.

Firkser recorded the Titans' first catch of the game, so it appeared as if he may be heavily involved in the offensive game plan. However, that turned out to not be the case, even without Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined for a significant portion of the game. Firkser had recorded at least three receptions in each of his last three contests.

Mundt (knee) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday after suffering a season-ending torn ACL on Sunday.

The season is over for the 26-year-old, who will finish the season with just one catch for nine yards. He was used as a depth option at tight end this season behind Tyler Higbee, who will continue to garner the lion's share of action at the position moving forward.

Fant (foot) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Fant remained limited on the Broncos' second injury report of Week 7 prep. Meanwhile, Teddy Bridgewater also has had a cap on his practice reps, and there's no guarantee he'll be available Thursday at Cleveland. Fant is coming off a three-game stretch in which he earned 90-plus percent of the offensive snaps each time on his way to 18 catches (on 25 targets) for 163 yards and two TDs. Assuming he's cleared for Thursday's contest, he'll look to keep it going with Bridgewater under center, which may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Njoku (knee) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

For a third week in a row, Njoku practice reps have been capped due to a knee issue. On this occasion, though, he appears to be a bit more healthy, with limited next to his name on both Week 7 injury reports. The Browns will have a chance to clear him entirely Wednesday, but even they don't he seems to be in good shape to play Thursday versus the Broncos.

Saubert secured three of his five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

With Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) placed on IR, Saubert saw his first action as Denver's No. 2 tight end. Unfortunately, that didn't equate to much in the way of production behind starter Noah Fant. Saubert played on just 35 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps. With Okwuegbunam sidelined, Saubert will likely continue to see increased playing time behind Fant, but he will remain far off the fantasy radar with so many mouths to feed in the Denver passing attack. Up next for the Broncos is a Thursday night showdown with the Browns in Week 7.

Knox suffered a broken bone in his hand during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Knox was able to handle some plays after suffering the injury, including throwing a two-point conversion to Josh Allen, but it looks like it's possible he could need to miss time. The Bills will enjoy a bye Week 7 before taking on Miami on Oct. 31, so Knox will at least benefit from extra time to rest up.

Knox (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Titans.

The severity of Knox's injury is unknown at this time, but it's serious enough to hold him out for the final quarter of Monday's matchup. He was spotted walking to the locker room and was officially ruled out shortly after. Tommy Sweeney will get more looks at tight end as a result.

Knox is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Titans due to a hand injury.

Knox appeared to suffer the injury at the end of the third quarter. It would be a significant blow for the Bills if he's unable to return down the stretch, as he's emerged as one of Josh Allen's favorite targets so far this season.
