Blanton was restored back to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Blanton was previously moved to the COVID-19 list Wednesday, but he's since been cleared to return to the practice squad. He's appeared in one game this season for Los Angeles, logging four special-teams snaps.

Myarick reverted back to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Myarick was active for Sunday's loss to the Broncos but failed to record a single snap in the contest. The second-year tight end could get another opportunity for game action in Sunday's divisional showdown with the Jets.

Fumagalli reverted back to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Fumagalli failed to haul in his lone target from Sunday's win over the Dolphins and will now return to the team's practice squad. Denver only has two healthy tight ends on the active roster currently, so Fumagalli could continue to be activated throughout the season -- should he not be claimed by another team.

Andrews was limited at Monday's walk-through due to a thigh injury.

Andrews made a sudden appearance on the Ravens' Week 5 injury report just before a matchup with the Bengals, with a thigh issue the root cause. He proceeded to suit up and score one of his six touchdowns on the season. Now with a cap on his practice reps to begin Week 12 prep, the status of Andrews bears watching in advance of Thursday's visit to Pittsburgh.

The Ravens signed Tomlinson to the practice squad Monday.

Following Nick Boyle's season-ending knee injury, the Ravens signed Luke Willson to the practice squad to add depth behind Mark Andrews. Now, they'll bring in Tomlinson to bolster the position further. Tomlinson played in one game for the Giants this season, recording just two snaps on offense.

Alie-Cox had two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay.

Alie-Cox played on 43 of the offense's 84 snaps. Meanwhile, Trey Burton played on 24 snaps and Jack Doyle played on 45 snaps. Alie-Cox went out on 17 routes, which led the tight ends. However, it's hard to depend on any of the trio's production with all three active in the passing game.

Gentry will be placed on injured reserve with a left knee sprain, but the injury isn't as severe as initially feared, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coach Mike Tomlin called the 24-year-old's knee injury "significant" after Sunday's win over Jacksonville, but the actual diagnosis appears a bit more optimistic. Gentry will be sidelined for at least the next three games, but he could return for the Week 15 matchup with the Bengals.

Sullivan (undisclosed) was placed on the Seahawks' practice squad injured list Monday, Logan Reardon of the team's official site reports.

The 23-year-old only appearance of the season came Week 8 against the 49ers, and he had one tackle in 22 defensive snaps. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Sullivan will be unavailable for the next few weeks.

Smith had two receptions for 23 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Dallas.

Smith returned after missing a game due to a groin injury. He played on 33 of the offense's 65 snaps. Meanwhile, Kyle Rudolph had three receptions and played on 45 snaps. Both tight ends get only a minor portion of the targets with Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson commanding almost all the activity in the passing game. However, the passing attack may need to diversify the targets if Thielen misses time this week after landing on the COVID-19 list.

Hockenson was listed as a limited participant with a shoulder injury on Monday's practice estimation, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The 23-year-old entered Sunday's loss to Carolina with a toe injury, and he apparently picked up the shoulder issue while catching four of seven targets for a season-high 68 yards. Hockenson appears on track to be available for the Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Texans, and he could avoid an injury designation if he can put in a full practice in the next two days.
