Seals-Jones snagged three of five targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-21 loss to Houston.

The rookie out of Texas A&M entered Sunday without a catch to his name. He got his first just before halftime on an 11-yard out for a touchdown. He liked it so much that he reeled in a 28-yard jump ball for a touchdown in the third quarter. Arizona has gotten very little production out of tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Troy Niklas. Seals-Jones may very well be a one-hit wonder, but with so few dependable targets opposite Larry Fitzgerald, expect Arizona to look to find out in the weeks ahead.

Engram corralled just one of six targets for nine yards in Sunday's 12-9 overtime win over the Chiefs.

Engram was the intended target on a pass from running back Shane Vereen that was intercepted at the one-yard line, and he came no closer to extending his touchdown streak to five. The rookie tight end still tied for the team lead in targets despite the down week, so this performance should be viewed as an exception rather than the norm.

Kelce turned a season-high 14 targets into eight catches for 109 yards while throwing an interception on his lone passing attempt in Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Giants.

Kelce saw his three-game touchdown streak come to an end against an opponent that had allowed a touchdown to a tight end in every game this season coming in. The star tight end's owners will still be happy with his performance, however, as he consistently got open against New York's slow linebackers and safeties while topping the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this year. On his interception, Kelce took a lateral from quarterback Alex Smith and uncorked a beatiful deep throw that just missed Demarcus Robinson 46 yards downfield.

Escobar was waived by the Ravens on Saturday.

Escobar was waived in order to make room for Danny Woodhead, who was activated off injured reserve. Escobar only played in two games for the Ravens, but will now get a chance to join another team in need of tight end depth.

Traylor was promoted to the Broncos' 53-man active roster Saturday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

The Broncos surprisingly opted to waive backup tight end A.J. Derby, which created room for Traylor on the roster. He figures to provide depth behind starter Virgil Green going forward.

The Broncos decided to waive Derby (shoulder) on Saturday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

The move is somewhat surprising, as Derby led all Broncos tight ends with 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns. The team acquired the tight end from the Patriots last season for a 2017 fifth-round pick, but the move never panned out. He will revert to the Broncos' injured reserve if he clears waivers.

Swaim (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Swaim was a limited participant in practice this week after sitting out last Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Blake Jarwin would fill in as the Cowboys' No. 3 tight end again if Swaim is unable to suit up.

Graham (knee) put in a full practice Friday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of SeattlePI.com reports.

The knee injury never presented much concern about Graham's availability for Monday's matchup with the Falcons, but the tight end's full practice Thursday likely removes any doubt that he'll play in Week 11. Graham hasn't cracked the 60-yard barrier in any of his last five outings, but has made up for it by being quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to option in the red zone. He's racked up six touchdowns on 13 red-zone targets over that span.

Ertz (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation on the Eagles' final injury report for Sunday's contest in Dallas.

Ertz was surprisingly held out for a Week 9 win over the Broncos, but a bye gave him more than enough time to heal up. He was a full practice participant throughout the week and can safely be returned to all lineups.

Derby (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Jeff Heuerman (knee) will also miss the contest, which means that Virgil Green will work as the Broncos' top tight end Sunday. Renck speculates that the Broncos will likely add Austin Traylor from the practice squad to offer an additional option at the position behind Green.
