Gray (ankle) is questionable to play Sunday against the Chargers, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Gray was able to practice without limitation Friday, so his game status realistically doesn't appear to be in danger. If he's ultimately cleared to play and Dion Sims (concussion) isn't, the University of Minnesota product projects to step in as the starting tight end once more.

Graham (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in New England, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The Seahawks have carefully managed Graham's practice workload in an effort to reduce the stress on his surgically repaired knee. With no new injury and no setback, he can safely be deployed as one of the top tight ends in any format.

Henry (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Henry's game-time status appears to be on the upswing, as the rookie tight end was able to practice fully Friday. You'll want to check his status prior to the 4:05 ET kickoff, but as of now it seems likely that Henry will take the field Sunday against a Dolphins team that has allowed 29 catches, 398 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends this season.

Hooper is slated to start Sunday against the Eagles, since teammate Jacob Tamme (shoulder) will miss a third straight game, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.

Hooper will start ahead of fellow tight ends Levine Toilolo and Joshua Perkins once again this weekend. In two starts since Tamme's absence, Hooper has recorded at least three catches on five targets for 40 yards in both games, and he scored his second career touchdown last time out.

Graham (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After Wednesday's absence wasn't related to an injury, Graham's limited showing Thursday was blamed on a knee concern, which may be the one which has afflicted him for much of the season. If he was indeed held back as a precautionary measure, he should be cleared for Week 10 upon the release of Friday's injury report. Assuming he's active Sunday in New England, he'll have difficulty finding pay dirt against a Pats defense that's surrendered no touchdowns to tight ends since Week 2.

Henry (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Given that Henry has been practicing with a knee brace on the last two days, his status for Sunday's game is certainly not a formality, but it's encouraging to see him take the field nevertheless. Fantasy owners will want to check back Friday after the Chargers release their final injury report to find out if Henry could be active, but given the team's Week 11 bye week, the Chargers may opt to limit their rookie tight end's reps in an effort to preserve his health for the duration of the season.

Gray (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.

The second-string tight end missed Wednesday's practice due to an unspecified ankle injury but is now back on the field. His limited participation still leaves him questionable for Sunday's tilt with the Chargers, but a clearer picture will be painted once Friday's practice concludes. With starter Dion Sims looking to gain clearance from a concussion, the Dolphins are left with Dominique Jones and Thomas Duarte as the only truly healthy tight ends on their active roster.

Hooper is on pace to earn his third consecutive start Sunday in Philadelphia due to the likely absence of Jacob Tamme (shoulder).

Head coach Dan Quinn told Vaughn McClure of ESPN on Thursday that Tamme is unlikely to be active in Week 10, which would place Hooper firmly in the crosshairs of Matt Ryan yet again. In back-to-back starts, Hooper has reeled in eight of 11 passes for 87 yards and one touchdown.

Henry (knee) returned to a limited practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Henry, who was inactive in Week 9, wore a wrap and a brace over his knee at practice Wednesday, but his presence on the field, in any capacity, suggests that the tight end could return to action as soon as Sunday against the Dolphins.

Gray (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Gray is not in any danger of missing the game Sunday in San Diego. The Dolphins held him out more as a precaution, as he is one of the few healthy tight ends on the roster and should start versus the Chargers.
