NFL Player News

The Broncos signed Fumagalli to the practice squad Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The Broncos are in need of depth at tight end following news that Albert Okwuegbunam (torn ACL) is done for the season. Fumagalli fits the bill, as the third-year player has experience in coach Vic Fangio's system from last season when he recorded a 6-38-1 line over 11 games. Fumagalli could be activated as soon as Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Jets placed Wesco on injured reserve Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Wesco has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Patriots, and he'll aim to return Week 12 against the Dolphins. The Jets promoted Ross Travis from the practice squad to serve as the No. 4 tight end moving forward.

Alie-Cox (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Alie-Cox managed to play through his lingering knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, during which he caught all three of his targets for 43 yards, so it's easy to imagine that the Colts simply intend to allow the tight end a bit of rest on a short week. With Jack Doyle (concussion) trending in the wrong direction for Thursday's game in Tennessee, Alie-Cox could find himself handling increased opportunities alongside Trey Burton as long as he's able to suit up.

Pruitt suffered a knee sprain during Sunday's win over the Bears and will miss Thursday's game versus the Colts, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Pruitt underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed the knee sprain, but the team's optimistic that he won't miss too much time. Geoff Swaim could see more work behind Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firkser going forward. The door remains open for Pruitt to return Week 11 against the Ravens.

Trautman hauled in all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The rookie entered the game with just three receptions for 34 yards on the season, so this performance was certainly unexpected. Trautman grabbed a seven-yard strike in the first quarter for his first NFL touchdown that put the Saints up, 14-0. With New Orleans' receiving corps returning to full strength, Trautman likely will see a reduced role moving forward, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect regular scoring.

Hill completed both of his pass attempts for 48 yards, rushed seven times for 54 yards and caught his lone target for 21 yards in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

In a game the Saints led handily throughout, Hill got a chance to dig into his versatile toolbox by making an impact as a passer, receiver and running back, leading the team in rushing yards along the way. Hill continues to see work and mostly is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option when the Saints are playing in a competitive game.

Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Fant aggravated his lingering ankle injury during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Fangio said that he expects Fant to be "OK," a notion that's backed up by the fact the second-year pro was able to return to Sunday's game after limping to the locker room in the first quarter. Fant did seem to be hampered by the injury upon his return, however, as he ended the day with just three catches for 45 yards against an Atlanta defense that has struggled to cover opposing tight ends all season. Moreover, most of his production came via the 32-yard catch on which he was injured on the opening drive. With Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) having sustained a season-ending ACL tear Sunday, Fant's ability to get healthy will be key as Denver's offense and Drew Lock look to remain afloat.

Okwuegbunam (knee) sustained a torn right ACL during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Okwuegbunam was forced out Sunday after making his first catch of the day in the third quarter, and it's now been revealed that he sustained a season-ending injury on the play. Not only is the timing brutal for the rookie fourth-round pick, who had been building momentum on offense and establishing a connection with Drew Lock in the red zone, but as Klis notes it represents further attrition for the Broncos, an organization with 13 players already on IR. Okwuegbunam's rookie campaign comes to an end with 11 catches on 15 targets, which he converted into 121 yards and one score in four contests.

Keene (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jets.

Keene didn't travel with the team for Monday's matchup, leaving just Ryan Izzo (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, as the only remaining tight end on New England's roster. Perhaps Rashod Berry, who is on the practice squad, will be elevated. Otherwise, Izzo will handle a hefty workload if he's able to suit up.

Firkser recorded three receptions on six targets for 19 yards in Week 9 against the Bears.

Firkser finished second on the team with six targets, behind only A.J. Brown. He was utilized close to the line of scrimmage, limiting his output potential, with his longest catch of the day going for only 12 yards. Firkser was on the field for 49 percent of offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the season. Nevertheless, he is still working behind Jonnu Smith as the team's primary pass-catching tight end.
