Dickerson was promoted to the Giants' 53-man roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dickerson has played seven games with the Giants over the past two seasons, and he's been on the practice squad since Nov. 12. With Scott Simonson (concussion) ruled out, Dickerson will work as the No. 2 tight end behind Kaden Smith.

Daniels (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Daniels was already ruled out for the season finale against the Rams, so his shift to IR allowed the Cardinals to promote Drew Anderson from the practice squad since Kyler Murray (hamstring) is questionable. Charles Clay (calf) is also questionable, leaving Maxx Williams and Dan Arnold as the only healthy tight ends.

Cleveland head coach Freddie Kitchens was non-committal about Njoku's status for Week 17 against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Kitchens, who benched Njoku for each of the previous two games, responded in coach-speak when asked about the tight end's status for the season finale Sunday at 1:00 PM. "We're going to play the people I think gives us the best chance to win each week," Kitchens said. "Depending on what that is, we'll see how it goes Sunday." If Njoku doesn't dress, Demetrius Harris is expected to be the team's lead tight end.

Daniels (biceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Daniels did not participate in practice all week, making it a likelihood all along that he would be held out Sunday. With Daniels out, Dan Arnold will serve as the Cardinals' No. 2 tight end behind starter Maxx Williams.

Hudson (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

The 25-year-old missed Week 16 due to the concussion but will make his return for the season finale. Hudson should work as the Buccaneers' No. 3 tight end since O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate are currently healthy.

Goedert will operate as the Eagles' top tight end Sunday against the Giants with Zach Ertz (ribs) ruled out for the game, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Goedert has already been handling a three-down role, with injuries at receiver forcing the Eagles to rely on multi-tight end formations nearly every week. The second-year player is working on a six-game streak with six or more targets, culminating in a 9-91-1 receiving line in last week's 17-9 win over the Cowboys. Goedert is locked in as a central figure in the Eagles' passing game and could push for double-digit targets again with Ertz temporarily out of the picture.

Brown is questionable for Sunday's divisional contest against the Bengals due to an illness, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Brown was added to Friday's injury report as a non-participant. With Ricky Seals-Jones (illness) also listed as questionable, Brown could be in line for a slight uptick in offensive snaps if cleared to suit up for Sunday's season finale.

The Eagles have ruled Ertz (rib/back) out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ertz wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week while nursing a fractured rib and a back injury, effectively sealing his fate for the regular-season finale. Philadelphia will thus look to clinch the NFC East title without the services of two of its top targets in Ertz and wideout Nelson Agholor (knee), who will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. Tight end Dallas Goedert, receiver Greg Ward and running backs Miles Sanders and Boston Scott likely profile as quarterback Carson Wentz's top weapons in the passing game Week 17.

Andrews (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

With the Ravens' playoff seeding locked in, coach John Harbaugh has already announced that Lamar Jackson, Marshal Yanda, Earl Thomas, Brandon Williams and Mark Ingram (calf) won't play Sunday. Beyond that quintet, it's possible that other key players like the banged-up Andrews could be rested or have limited snap counts. For that reason, the tight end will be a risky roll in Week 17 fantasy lineups, even if he's not included among the team's inactives.

The Browns list Seals-Jones (illness) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The illness resulted in Seals-Jones being listed as a non-participant on the Browns' first two practice reports of Week 17, but his ability to return to work Friday in a limited fashion suggests he's at least feeling a little better as Sunday approaches. Assuming Seals-Jones gets the green light to play, he should remain part of a three-man committee at tight end that includes Stephen Carlson and Demetrius Harris. Week 1 starter David Njoku has seemingly fallen out of favor, as he's been a healthy inactive for both of the past two games.
