Andrews (thigh) tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday and has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Andrews will be one of two Ravens added to the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, with star pass rusher Matt Judon being the other following his own positive COVID-19 test, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. They become the 10th and 11th Ravens players to test positive, rendering both unable to play Tuesday. As Schefter notes, Andrews is a Type 1 diabetic, so the tight end could be more vulnerable to the symptoms of the coronavirus than most of his peers. The Ravens haven't commented on Andrews' status beyond Week 12, but he seems unlikely to clear the protocol in time for Baltimore's Week 13 game Dec. 7 versus Dallas. With Andrews and Patrick Ricard on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Nick Boyle (knee) on injured reserve, the Ravens are currently without a tight end on the 53-man roster.

Hurst (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 27-year-old received the questionable tag after finishing the week with a limited practice Friday, and it appears he's continued to progress well halfway through the weekend. Hurst is looking for a rebound performance after posting zero catches on two targets last week against the Saints.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
