Togiai (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

The 23-year-old received the questionable tag after sitting out Thursday and Friday's practices, and he won't be suiting up versus Green Bay. Togiai may have been inactive regardless of the injury with Trey Burton, Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox all available.

Smith (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 11 tilt against the Cowboys.

The athletic tight end was trending in the right direction after a week of limited practices, and his active status after a one-week absence now is official. Smith notched touchdown grabs on each of his two receptions Week 9 against the Lions before missing the Week 10 win over the Bears. He'll look for similar success versus a vulnerable Cowboys defense that's surrendered 39-386-5 line to tight ends this season.

Fant (ribs) is active for Sunday's Week 11 tilt against the Dolphins.

The athletic tight end ran the gamut of practice participation during the week, finishing up with a full session Friday that supported the notion of active status Sunday. That's now official, meaning Fant once again will serve as the primary tight end option against a Dolphins defense that's surrendered a 36-343-4 line to the position this season.

Gentry won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury.

Gentry wasn't targeted during the first half before suffering the injury. Eric Ebron is the only available tight end for the Steelers for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Manhertz (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

Manhertz will avoid missing his first game since Week 5 of the 2019 season. The 28-year-old tight end has recorded five receptions for 41 yards through 10 games this year, as he mainly sticks to a special-teams role.

Smith (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Confirmation on his availability will arrive upon the release of the Vikings' inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. Prior to sitting out the team's Week 10 win over the Bears, Smith -- who was limited in practices Wednesday through Friday -- compiled 13 receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.

Hudson (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Hudson has been spending time with his family after his father passed away, so he won't be with the team for Week 11. Antony Auclair will serve as the depth tight end behind Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate on Monday.

Fumagalli was promoted to Denver's active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Fumagalli will join the active roster as an extra player for the second straight contest. The 25-year-old had two catches for 12 yards on 12 offensive snaps last week and could play a similar role Sunday with Noah Fant (ribs) still less than 100 percent.

Arnold notched a four-yard touchdown on two targets during Thursday's 28-21 defeat at Seattle.

The Cardinals claimed Arnold off waivers late last season, and he proceeded to score two TDs on 10 targets over the final three games. He seemed to develop a rapport with Kyler Murray in a short time span, but Arnold needed nine appearances this year before he made his first visit to the end zone. Arnold has taken a back seat to Maxx Williams since the veteran returned from IR in Week 9, resulting in a 6-54-1 line on seven targets over the last three outings. With not much volume to speak of, Arnold requires big plays or touchdowns to make a weekly impact.

Saubert was promoted to Jacksonville's active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

Saubert appeared in one game earlier this season and saw most of his action on special teams. He'll fill a depth role Sunday with James O'Shaughnessy (knee) sidelined.
