Myarick was elevated to Miami's active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

The 25-year-old will serve as an extra player from the practice squad for the second straight contest. Myarick played five offensive snaps and one snap on special teams during his NFL debut last week.

Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that he expects Fant (ribs), who is listed as questionable, to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Jon Heath of BroncosWire reports.

According to Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site, Fangio said that Fant is in a "good spot" after practicing at full speed Friday, putting him on pace to suit up in Sunday's AFC showdown. If Fant in fact plays, it's unsettled who he'll catch passes from, as Drew Lock (ribs) is questionable, and Brett Rypien likely would start under center if Lock can't go.

The 49ers placed Helm on the practice squad COVID-19 list Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Helm has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. He'll be required to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols before returning to team activities. The 49ers are in the midst of a bye week, and Helm is a candidate to be promoted from the practice squad as long as he's healthy.

Pruitt (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

Pruitt's still recovering from a knee sprain he picked up in a Week 9 win over the Bears, and he hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury. Geoff Swaim will suit up again and act as the No. 3 tight end behind Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firkser on Sunday.

Hockenson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Carolina, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Hockenson has been listed with a toe injury for almost a month now, but he's still handled at least four targets and 60 percent of offensive snaps in every game this season. He figures to be a big part of the Week 11 gameplan, with Kenny Golladay (hip), Danny Amendola (hip) and D'Andre Swift (concussion) all ruled out.

Tonyan (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Tonyan has been listed on the practice report with either a knee or ankle injury for the past month or so, but he's played at least 50 percent of offensive snaps in each of the Packers' nine games this season. Production has been far less consistent than playing time, with Tonyan scoring each of his five touchdowns in a three-game stretch over Weeks 2-4. He's averaging only 2.8 catches for 34.8 yards per game in five appearances since the end of his TD streak.

Togiai (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

Togiai wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday but didn't practice Thursday or Friday, which has him trending in the wrong direction going into the weekend. Even if he's given the green light, however, he's in danger of being a healthy scratch if Jack Doyle (concussion) is active.

Alie-Cox (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Though Alie-Cox didn't take part in Friday's practice, the fact that he's not even being listed as questionable for Sunday's game suggests his lack of activity to conclude the week was merely for maintenance purposes. Alie-Cox has seen an uptick in work over the past three weeks, playing between 42 and 66 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in those contests while hauling in nine of 11 targets for 99 yards. He could see his playing time tail off Week 11, however, as the Colts may have another tight end in Jack Doyle available if he can clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Marhertz (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Manhertz hasn't yet missed a game this season, but it looks like he isn't a lock to suit up versus Detroit. The veteran tight end hasn't had more than one catch in a single contest this season, so it's safe to say that he remains off the fantasy radar.

Hollister hauled in two of three targets for 14 yards Thursday in the Seahawks' 28-21 win over the Cardinals.

Hollister only played 13 offensive snaps in the contest, but he made the most of his limited reps. Perhaps more significant than Hollister's performance itself was the fact that head coach Pete Carroll revealed after the game that top tight end Greg Olsen suffered what the team fears is a ruptured fascia in his left foot, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. While the Seahawks aren't putting a timeline on Olsen's return, he seems likely to miss multiple weeks -- if not months -- with the injury, which should open the door for Will Dissly and Hollister to both see increased work.
