Thomas was not targeted in Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers.

The 23-year-old played only two offensive snaps and has seen only six total snaps through two weeks. Chris Manhertz played 32 snaps as a blocking specialist, leaving little opportunity for Thomas while Greg Olson remains on the field.

Conklin (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Conklin sat out Week 1 and was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he now looks to have fully recovered from his ribs injury. He'll play his usual depth role behind Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith during Sunday's game against the Packers.

Graham (finger) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Graham is following a slightly different path with his reps this week, as opposed to his LP/FP/FP breakdown from Week 1. While there doesn't seem to be any worry about his availability for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Friday's injury report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation.

Parham signed with Washington's practice squad Thursday.

Parham spent much of the offseason in Washington and now resurfaces on the team's practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Stetson could be called up at some point this season in a depth capacity or to fill in on special teams.

Kroft, recovering from a broken foot, was limited for the second straight practice Thursday.

After missing most of the summer as well as the Week 1 victory against the Jets, Kroft is truly a 50-50 proposition this week as he continues to heal. Expect Sean McDermott to provide more clarity following the last practice of the week Friday.

Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Dissly (knee) will play Sunday in Pittsburgh, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Carroll's claim was backed up by the second-year tight end subsequently practicing in full, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Dissly's turnaround is a surprise after he was called "doubtful to return" Week 1 due to an issue to his right knee, which was the same knee that endured a season-ending injury in 2018. While he'll be back in action, the Seahawks may limit Dissly's workload and alternatively make TE Nick Vannett a bigger part of the game plan.

Dillon signed with the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday.

Dillon cleared waivers Wednesday, and the Vikings are keeping him around. If the Vikings run into injuries at tight end, they may promote the undrafted rookie out of Marian University.

Conklin (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Conklin is working to recover from a lingering ribs injury, the severity of which cost him regular-season time Week 1 in the form of an inactive designation. If he's able to get healthy in time for Sunday's tilt against the Packers, Conklin will serve as a reserve tight end option behind Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith.

The Chargers waived Mayle (undisclosed) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

Mayle hasn't played an NFL snap since 2017, and he'll now have to look for a new team to reclaim his career once healthy.

Graham (finger) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Graham kicked off Week 1 prep with a similar listing, only to progress to "full" in the ensuing two sessions. If he follows a similar path this week, he'll continue to work as the Packers' unquestioned No. 1 tight end, which translated to three receptions (on six targets) for 30 yards and one touchdown in the season opener at Chicago.
