Swaim (knee) is active for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

The Cowboys have deemed Swaim ready to return exactly three weeks after he sprained the MCL in his knee. Because he was limited in every practice this week, he likely isn't ready to handle his usual workload, meaning Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz and Rico Gathers should remain a part of a TE rotation.

Uzomah caught three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 51-14 loss to New Orleans.

Uzomah was unable to break away for any big plays as Cincinnati fell behind early and then by a lot Sunday. The fourth-year tight end finds himself in a Bengals offense that is not only without starting tight ends Tyler Eifert (ankle) and Tyler Kroft (foot), but also -- at least for the time being -- star receiver A.J. Green (foot). That means a bigger role for Uzomah, who has been targeted at least four times in three of his past four games, but does bring to question how good that Bengals offense will be as it has been held under 15 points twice in the past three games. Having struggled in three straight games against bottom-five pass defenses, the Bengals will line up in Week 11 against Baltimore's top-five unit, which could get ugly.

Seals-Jones hauled in five of nine targets, racking up 51 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-14 defeat to the Chiefs.

Seals-Jones had a solid outing Sunday, facing a Chiefs defense that came into Week 10 struggling mightily at containing opposing tight ends (only Tampa Bay had surrendered more yardage to the position this season). Five catches tied a season high for the former Texas A&M standout, while he pushed the 50-yard receiving mark for the third time this season. Next, he'll have a matchup against an Oakland secondary that entered the weekend allowing the third-most touchdowns to tight ends (six).

Smith caught all three of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Patriots.

Don't look now, but Smith has a touchdown in consecutive weeks after previously being blanked in that category this season. He opened the scoring from four yards out in this one. The second-year tight end is gaining momentum ahead of his team's Week 11 meeting with the division-rival Colts.

Njoku (knee/ribs) caught his lone target for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Falcons.

While the tight end was clearly limited by his injuries, his team still managed to pull out a surprising win, much to the delight of the home crowd. Njoku will get a much-needed opportunity to heal with Cleveland on bye in Week 11.

Hooper caught 10 of 11 targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Browns.

Hooper did his damage on checkdowns, with none of his catches going for longer than 10 yards. The tight end's three-yard touchdown on fourth down gave his team a glimmer of hope, cutting the deficit to 28-16 in the fourth quarter. Hooper's come on after a slow start, topping 40 receiving yards in each of the past five games after coming up short of 25 in three of the first four contests of the season. You could do much worse at tight end in Week 11 than Hooper against the Cowboys.

Kelce brought in six of seven targets for 46 yards in the Chiefs' 26-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also fumbled once.

Kelce checked in second in receptions and targets behind Tyreek Hill on the afternoon, but he failed to top 50 yards for the first time since the opening week of the season. The 29-year-old was also targeted in the end zone by Patrick Mahomes but was unable to come up with what would have been his seventh touchdown of the campaign. Despite the drop in overall production, Kelce still delivered a relatively PPR-friendly performance and will look to play an even bigger role in the Week 11 Monday night showdown against the Rams in Mexico City.

Allen was forced out of Sunday's game against the Titans with a knee injury.

With Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle) inactive Sunday, Jacob Hollister is currently the team's only healthy tight end. Prior to his exit from Sunday's game, Allen had caught one pass for 10 yards.

Derby (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Derby will dress for the first time since September after missing the Dolphins' last six games with the foot injury. The 27-year-old has been a full participant in practice for a while, but it wasn't until this week that Miami was comfortable with signing off on his return to game action. Though Derby opened the season as the Dolphins' starting tight end, he may only fill a limited role at the position behind Nick O'Leary and Mike Gesicki in Week 10 in light of his lengthy layoff.

Grinnage (knee) is active Sunday against the Colts.

Grinnage has only been active three weeks this season, but had at least one reception in each of those contests. He's listed behind James O'Shaughnessy on the depth chart, however, with O'Shaughnessy set to suit up for the first time since Week 6.
