Moreau (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

The rookie fourth-round pick out of LSU made an immediate impact on the Raiders' offense. At the time of his injury, Moreau was tied with Tyrell Williams for the most receiving touchdowns on the team (five). Darren Waller will continue working as the team's No. 1 tight end moving forward, and Derek Carrier will bump into the No. 2 role. Coach Jon Gruden wasn't certain about Moreau's status for the 2020 season.

Andrews (knee) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimation.

After he was spotted jogging during the portion of the session open to the media, Andrews seems to have participated enough to elevate from Monday's DNP. Per Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site, Andrews' knee injury isn't considered severe by coach John Harbaugh. Ultimately, Tuesday's development is a step in the right direction towards active status Thursday versus the Jets.

Andrews (knee) was seen jogging during the part of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Andrews' activity level one day later is a step in the right direction. It also backs up coach John Harbaugh's assertions that Andrews' knee injury "is not serious," and the tight end expects to "be back Thursday" versus the Jets, per Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site. Tuesday's practice report will indicate whether or not Andrews able to do enough to earn a 'limited' or even 'full' designation.

Alie-Cox had one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay.

Indianapolis didn't use many two-TE sets in a shootout with Alie-Cox getting just 16 snaps and Ross Travis having five snaps behind Jack Doyle (49 snaps). It doesn't look like Alie-Cox or Travis will be big factors in the passing game even with Eric Ebron on IR with an ankle injury and several other wide receivers sidelined.

Smith had three receptions for 21 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

He started the game in a two-TE set with Kyle Rudolph and ended up playing more snaps (51) than Rudolph (46). Smith has become a larger part of the offense as the season progressed, especially with Adam Thielen sidelined with a hamstring injury, but the rookie has just four receptions the past two games. Smith didn't get targeted much in Sunday's game once the Vikings had a large lead and turned to the running game.

Uzomah had only one catch for four yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

After a rare outburst in the passing game last week, Uzomah retreated back to blocking duties this week, despite being on the field for 45 offensive snaps.

Knox caught just one of four targets for 37 yards during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

Surprisingly, the 37 yards led the team, which shows just how much the Baltimore defense stifled the Buffalo passing attack all day. Knox dropped one key pass, but made up for it with a doozy of a catch that was pretty much a one-handed snag for big yardage. The rookie continues to have long-term appeal, but the modest yardage was his high in the last four games, while Knox is maintaining a pattern of catching between one and four balls in every game this season, save for a shutout in Week 8.

Ertz caught nine of 13 targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-17 overtime win over the Giants.

Ertz stepped up with Philadelphia's pass-catching options depleted, scoring both the game-tying and game-winning touchdowns. The tight end led the Eagles in all major receiving categories, grabbing a team-long, 30-yard reception for good measure as well. Should Philly's receiving corps remain ravaged by injury in Week 15 versus Washington, Ertz would figure to continue playing a prominent role, but considering he's posted at least nine catches for 90 yards in four of his last five outings, he's already firing on all cylinders.

Firkser converted his lone target into a catch for a gain of 39 yards in the team's Week 14 win over the Raiders.

Firkser logged his lowest snap count since Week 6, seeing the field for just 12 offensive plays. He did manage to make the most of his lone target, setting the Titans up for a field-goal attempt just prior to halftime. Though Firkser has had flashes of productivity, his downturn in playing time doesn't indicate he'll end the season on a positive note.

Pruitt turned his only target into a 42-yard gain in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Raiders.

Pruitt was on the field for 53 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but he worked primarily as a blocker. His lone impact on the stat sheet came halfway through the third quarter when he caught a deep pass down the right side of the field. It was only Pruitt's second reception of the season, and he remains firmly behind Jonnu Smith on the team's depth chart.
