  • Jake Burt TE | NE

    Jake Burt: Picks up injury

    Burt was placed on New England's practice squad injured list Saturday with an undisclosed injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Burt returned from the practice squad injured list Nov. 18, but he either aggravated the injury or is dealing with a new issue. It's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

  • Troy Fumagalli TE | MIN

    Broncos' Troy Fumagalli: Rejoins active roster

    Fumagalli was promoted to Denver's active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    The 25-year-old will once again serve as an extra player on the active roster after the Broncos placed some players on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Fumagalli has two catches for 12 yards while playing 32 offensive snaps across his two appearances this season.

  • Brandon Dillon TE | WAS

    Vikings' Brandon Dillon: Promoted from practice squad

    Dillon was elevated to the Vikings' active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

    The 23-year-old is up from the practice squad as an extra player for Sunday's matchup with Carolina. Dillon played a pair of offensive snaps during his previous appearance this season.

  • Cardinals' Darrell Daniels: Out at least three weeks

    The Cardinals placed Daniels (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

    In a corresponding move, the Cardinals promoted Evan Baylis from the practice squad. Daniels isn't eligible to return until Week 15 against the Eagles. Dan Arnold figures to receive a bump in usage until Daniels gains clearance.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Still listed as questionable

    Andrews (thigh) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    It remains to be seen if the Ravens will actually play the Steelers during their scheduled Tuesday timeslot after players from both teams were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but if the game is still on, expect Andrews to be a game-time decision. The fact the tight end continues to maintain a "limited" designation during the virtual practices is likely a positive sign, but more information will be available Monday should the game still remain scheduled to take place during its projected time.

  • Irv Smith TE | HOU

    Vikings' Irv Smith: Downgrades to out for Sunday

    Smith (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    The second-year tight end sat out in Week 10 with this injury but returned to a limited role in Week 11. However, this injury seems to be lingering, as he'll be sidelined once again this Sunday. Kyle Rudolph will operate as the clear No. 1 tight end, while Tyler Conklin sees an uptick in usage as well.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Eagles' Zach Ertz: Not expected to play Monday

    Ertz (ankle) is not expected to play Monday against the Seahawks, Geoff Mosher of 97.5 The Fanatic Philadelphia reports.

    There was some optimism earlier in the week that Ertz could be activated off injured reserve, but coach Doug Peterson essentially suggested the wait for the veteran tight end would continue into Week 13. Expect another round of Dallas Goedert and Richard Rodgers splitting the tight end reps with Ertz sidelined another week.

  • Cardinals' Darrell Daniels: Unavailable for Week 12

    Daniels (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    After missing a second straight week of practice, Daniels will again be sidelined. Dan Arnold should see more playing time behind starter Maxx Williams until Daniels can return.

  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Packers' Marcedes Lewis: Will gear up Sunday

    Lewis (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Lewis followed his typical regimen of limited reps during the practice week, but he's ready to go for Week 12. The 36-year-old predominantly operates in a run-blocking role, as he's caught just five passes this year for 40 yards and two scores.

  • Tanner Hudson TE | CIN

    Buccaneers' Tanner Hudson: Out against Chiefs

    Hudson (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Hudson will miss a second straight game following the passing of his father. His next chance to play is following the team's Week 13 bye. Antony Auclair should see an uptick in usage again behind Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate.
