  • Noah Fant TE | CIN

    Bengals' Noah Fant: Finds end zone in loss

    Fant caught two of three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears.

    Fant played 31 of the Bengals' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with fellow tight end Drew Sample. The veteran was targeted three times for the second straight week, and his touchdown marked his third trip to the end zone this season. With wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins commanding most of the target share in Cincinnati's offense, Fant continues to profile as a touchdown-dependent option at the tight end position. The 27-year-old will look to build off his latest performance when the Bengals come out of their Week 10 bye to face the Steelers in Week 11.

  • Princeton Fant TE | DAL

    Princeton Fant: Back to practice squad

    Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Fant was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, when he played 11 snaps on special teams during Dallas' 27-17 loss to Arizona. The Cowboys are on a bye Week 10, so his next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster will be for Week 11 against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17.

  • Josiah Deguara TE | ARI

    Josiah Deguara: Getting released

    Arizona released Deguara on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Deguara has played in three games for the Cardinals this season, logging a total of 11 offensive snaps and 23 special teams snaps. Now he's becoming a free agent and will start looking for his next chance with another squad.

  • Drake Dabney TE | GB

    Drake Dabney: Joins Green Bay's practice squad

    The Packers signed Dabney to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Dabney got a chance early in his rookie season with the Titans but was ultimately waived. He'll join the Packers' practice squad to serve as depth at tight end.

  • Scotty Washington: Reunites with Baltimore

    The Ravens signed Washington to the practice squad Tuesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Washington is back with the Ravens as a member of the practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 28-year-old tight end signed with the Bengals in April of 2020 as an undrafted rookie out of Wake Forest, and his lone regular-season appearance came in 2022 as a member of the Patriots.

  • McCallan Castles: Joins Green Bay's practice squad

    The Packers signed Castles to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Castles spent training camp with the Chargers and Rams but was waived at the close of training camp. He'll provide tight end depth in Green Bay after Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Sits out of Tuesday's walkthrough

    Adkins (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Adkins has opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back DNPs as he continues to recover from a knee injury he sustained against the Cowboys in Week 8. He was unable to play against the Texans on Sunday, and he's unlikely to play Thursday against the Raiders unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Wednesday.

  • Josh Whyle TE | GB

    Packers' Josh Whyle: Signed to active roster

    The Packers signed Whyle to their active roster Tuesday.

    Whyle has spent the season on the Packers' practice squad to this point. He'll now provide depth to the tight end room, with Tucker Kraft (knee) lost for the season. Whyle has 37 receptions and two touchdowns across 28 career games.

  • Kenny Yeboah TE | DET

    Kenny Yeboah: Released from IR

    Detroit released Yeboah (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday.

    Yeboah was placed on injured reserve in early August, which would have ended his season had he not reached this settlement. He'll now be free to sign elsewhere and potentially suit up if healthy.

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Records three receptions Monday

    Higgins recorded three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards during Monday's 27-17 win in Dallas.

    Working behind a top receiving tight end like Trey McBride doesn't leave much in terms of targets for Higgins, but the latter took advantage of his looks Monday en route to a season best in receptions. Furthermore, Higgins has settled into the No. 2 TE role over the last three games with Tip Reiman (ankle) out for the season, receiving 40 to 45 percent of the offense snaps during that span. Expect Higgins to hover in that range and get the 1.8 targets per game that come with it as long as McBride is available.
