MyCole Pruitt TE | PIT
Steelers' MyCole Pruitt: Misses Wednesday's practice
Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
The 32-year-old played through his knee injury in Sunday's win over the Commanders, failing to haul in his only target across 32 offensive snaps. Wednesday's DNP suggests that Pruitt may have worsened the injury in Week 10, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 11, when the Steelers host the Ravens.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Not practicing Wednesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Shanahan relayed Monday that Kittle was dealing with hamstring irritation, which will keep the tight end out of the first session of the week. Kittle has played through hamstring, rib and foot injuries this season, missing only one game (Week 3) as a result, but it's unclear if he may be in danger of another absence in Week 11. His activity in practices Thursday and Friday likely will provide some insight into his odds to play Sunday against the Seahawks.

Isaiah Likely TE | BAL
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Back at practice Wednesday
Likely (hamstring) was on the field for practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Likely missed last Thursday's 35-34 win over the Bengals with the hamstring injury, but the extended time off appears to have done him some good. While Likely was sidelined last week, fellow tight end Mark Andrews played a season-high 87 percent of the offensive snaps and drew a season-best seven targets en route to finishing with a 6-68-1 receiving line. Likely's potential return Sunday against the Steelers would amount to a hit to Andrews' fantasy stock and would give the Ravens a three-man tight end group that also includes Charlie Kolar.

Sam LaPorta TE | DET
Lions' Sam LaPorta: Sits out practice Wednesday
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said LaPorta (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
LaPorta exited this past Sunday's 26-23 win at Houston due a shoulder injury that eventually was termed an AC joint sprain. On Monday, Campbell called LaPorta day-to-day, and the coach used the same term to describe the tight end Wednesday. LaPorta will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to be available Sunday against the Jaguars.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Not practicing Wednesday
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (knee) won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Kinkaid hurt his knee in this past Sunday's win over the Colts, and with the tight end's looming absence from practice in mind, his status for this weekend's game against the Chiefs is uncertain. If Kincaid ends up sitting out Week, 11 Dawson Knox would step in as the Bills' starting tight end.

Tanner Conner TE | MIA
Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Moves to IR
Conner (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Conner suffered the injury during Monday's win over the Rams and will now be forced to miss at least the next four games. The Idaho State product had appeared in eight games this season but was mostly used on special teams.

Hayden Hurst TE | LAC
Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Held catchless in win
Hurst was unable to secure his lone target in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans.
Hurst saw just one target for the second-straight week, as the veteran continues to be clearly behind Will Dissly in the Chargers' tight end pecking order. The 31-year-old played just nine of Los Angeles' 59 offensive snaps, behind both Dissly (32) and Tucker Fisk (23). With such limited usage and production in 2024, Hurst is far from a reliable fantasy option heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Bengals.

Kylen Granson TE | IND
Colts' Kylen Granson: Two grabs in loss
Granson caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to Bills.
Granson's two grabs were a season high for the fourth-year tight end, as he continues to play a limited role in the Colts' passing game in 2024. The 26-year-old played 24 of the Colts' 64 offensive snaps Sunday, just behind Mo Alie-Cox (27) and ahead of Drew Ogletree (22). Granson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Jets.

Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Limited on practice estimate
The Eagles listed Goedert (ankle) as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
Though the Eagles merely held a walkthrough Tuesday, Goedert's limited listing represents a step forward from Monday, when he appeared on the team's initial Week 11 injury report as a non-participant. Goedert made his return from a three-game absence in this past Sunday's win over the Cowboys and showed no signs of the hamstring injury that had sidelined him. Even though Goedert is now being listed with a new injury, the expectation is that he will play Thursday against the Commanders.
-
Jack Stoll TE | MIA
Jack Stoll: Let go by Philadelphia
The Eagles waived Stoll on Tuesday.
Stoll operated as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Grant Calcaterra from Week 7 through 9 due to Dallas Goedert being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Goedert returned for the Eagles' Week 10 win over the Cowboys, during which Stoll played 35 snaps (17 on offense, 18 on special teams) without recording a stat. Stoll could be claimed off waivers by a team in need of tight end depth, but if he goes unclaimed, he has the option of returning to Philadelphia on the practice squad or exploring other opportunities.
