Everett (back) is on track to play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Everett is officially considered questionable, but coach Sean McVay said Friday he expects him to play and that doesn't appear to have changed heading into Sunday. The 26-year-old likely will still need to be cleared via a pregame workout before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but he's currently expected to play in Philadelphia.

Bryant caught one of two targets for 14 yards and played 30 snaps (52 percent) in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals in Week 2.

Bryant played one less snap Thursday than he did Week 1, but the rookie had a greater share of the total, going from 42 to 52 percent. As expected, his usage increased with David Njoku (knee) on injured reserve. However, that was tempered by the increase in snaps for fullback Andy Janovich, who went from nine snaps Week 1 to 22 on Thursday. Bryant has two catches, four targets and 19 yards after two games.

Hooper caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals in Week 2.

The Browns threw only 23 times, so targets were limited across the board, but Hooper had two more Thursday than he did in Week 1's loss to the Ravens. The Browns were able to run their offense, designed to lean heavily on the ground game and use tight ends. He was on the field nearly as much as quarterback Baker Mayfield, playing 57 of 58 snaps. Hooper hasn't found the end zone after two games but was targeted once in the red zone Thursday.

Uzomah (Achilles) has been placed on IR by the Bengals.

Uzomah tore his right Achilles in Thursday's loss to the Browns and is out for the season. As a result, Drew Sample figures to step into the starting role at tight end for the Bengals, with Cethan Carter and Mason Schreck in reserve.

Everett (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, but coach Sean McVay said he expects the tight end to play, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Everett suffered his injury in a Week 1 win over Dallas, catching one of two targets for seven yards on 33 percent snap share before he left the game. His role doesn't appear to offer much promise for fantasy purposes, but he still has value to the Rams for two-TE formations. Confirmation of his Week 2 availability may have to wait until Sunday morning when the Rams release their inactive list before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Keene (neck) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

Keene was a limited participant in Friday's practice after having previously logged back-to-back full sessions. If the rookie third-round pick is once again forced to delay his NFL debut, Ryan Izzo will handle the bulk of New England's tight end reps once more, with Devin Asiasi also working in.

Kittle (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Earlier this week, coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle would be held out of practice but then treated as a game-time decision. It isn't clear if the new plan is indicative of a minor setback or merely a matter of the 49ers being cautious. Whatever the case, Jordan Reed and Ross Dwelley are on track to get most of the playing time at tight end, while first-round pick WR Brandon Aiyuk could have a significant role in the passing game in his NFL debut.

Deguara (shin/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Deguara began the week as a limited participant, but he's now missed back-to-back sessions and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Week 2. The rookie tight end was involved on offense during his NFL debut, as he drew two targets. If he misses time, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger could see slightly more opportunities.

Togiai could make his NFL debut and play on offense during Sunday's game against the Vikings with Jack Doyle (ankle) ruled out, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Togiai, an undrafted rookie whom the Colts claimed earlier this month, didn't see any on-field action Week 1. However, with Doyle out for Week 2 and Trey Burton (calf) on injured reserve, he looks primed to operate as Indianapolis' No. 2 tight end behind Mo Alie-Cox. Togiai could see some looks in the passing game in addition to being used as a blocker, but he still remains off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats.

Arnold could see more playing time with fellow tight end Maxx Williams (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Arnold played 55 percent of snaps to Williams' 52 percent in a Week 1 win over San Francisco, drawing only two targets despite running a route on 30 of Kyler Murray's 51 dropbacks (59 percent). While DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake, Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald all figure to be bigger priorities in the Arizona offense, Arnold could prove useful in deep fantasy leagues.
