Tommy Hudson TE | NO
Titans' Tommy Hudson: Promoted from practice squad
Hudson was promoted from Tennessee's practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game at Seattle, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
The 24-year-old will provide depth at tight end should Anthony Firkser (knee), who is considered questionable, be unable to play Sunday. Hudson is unlikely to have any fantasy relevance if active.

Brandon Dillon TE | WAS
Brandon Dillon: Hits waivers
The Vikings waived Dillon on Saturday.
Dillon didn't play on offense in the season-opening loss to the Bengals, though he handled 22 special-teams snaps. If Dillon clears waivers, he'll land on the practice squad.

Josiah Deguara TE | ARI
Packers' Josiah Deguara: Listed as doubtful
Deguara (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Lions.
Deguara hasn't practiced all week so it would be very surprising to see the 2020 third-round pick available Monday. Any missed time will likely see Dominique Dafney get a larger role along with veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Chris Myarick TE | MIA
Chris Myarick: Reverts to practice squad
Myarick has officially reverted back to the Giants' practice squad, per the NFL's transaction log.
Myarick was promoted to the Giants' active roster ahead of their Week 2 loss to Washington. He was on the field for seven offensive snaps but did not record any stats.

Titans' Anthony Firkser: Questionable after missed practice
Firkser (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after not practicing Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Firkser logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, but his absence from practice Friday clouds his status for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If the tight end, who recorded three catches on four targets for 19 yards in the Titans' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals, is limited or out this weekend, added snaps would be available for Geoff Swaim and MyCole Pruitt in the Titans' RB/WR-driven attack.

Jonnu Smith TE | PIT
Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Questionable for Week 2
Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after logging limited practices both Thursday and Friday.
The fact that Smith was able to practice Friday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- after being added to the injury report Thursday suggests that he has a decent chance to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest. If he ends up limited or out this weekend, though, fellow tight end Hunter Henry would be in line for an increased profile in the Patriots' Week 2 passing attack.

Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI
Texans' Pharaoh Brown: Officially questionable for Week 2
Brown (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Brown delivered a major Week 1 impact with physical blocking in the running game in addition to 67 receiving yards, and he's trending towards suiting up in Week 2 with this upgrade to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. If Brown plays, he'll likely continue to split tight end reps with Jordan Akins.

Josiah Deguara TE | ARI
Packers' Josiah Deguara: Misses Friday's practice
Deguara (concussion) missed practice Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Deguara was forced to leave the Packers' season opener early with a concussion. The tight end missed practice Thursday and just missed practice Friday, so his status for Monday's game is uncertain as of now. Expect Dominique Dafney to have a larger role against the Lions if Deguara can't play.

Zach Ertz TE | WAS
Eagles' Zach Ertz: Clear for Week 2
Ertz (hamstring/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Ertz progressed from non-participant Wednesday to limited Thursday before capping Week 2 prep with a full session. Along the way, he was listed with the hamstring injury he picked up in the season-opening win in Atlanta and also with the word "rest," indicating the Eagles were managing his reps. In any case, Ertz will be available to work in tandem with Dallas Goedert at tight end Sunday.

Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI
Texans' Pharaoh Brown: Returns to practice
Brown (shoulder/ankle) was present for practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Wilson suggests that there didn't seem to be any serious concerns that the tight end might miss Sunday's game against Cleveland, and Brown's presence at practice Friday supports that notion. The Texans' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with any sort of injury designation.
