Though Henry (concussion) practiced fully both Thursday and Friday, he has yet to receive final clearance in the NFL's concussion protocol, ESPN's Eric D. Williams reports.

The report notes, however, that the tight end -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos -- plans to play this weekend. Either way, those hoping that Henry can suit up and reprise the level of success (six catches for 83 yards and a TD) he enjoyed against the Broncos in Week 6, will want to verify his status in advance of Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff.

Though he practiced fully both Thursday and Friday, Henry (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Despite the questionable tag, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune indicates that the tight end is expected to play Sunday, barring a setback. Still, those inclined to consider Henry against the rugged Denver passing defense in Week 8 lineups will want to confirm his availability in advance of the Chargers' 4:05 ET kickoff.

Supernaw hauled in a 30-yard reception on his one target Thursday against the Jaguars.

Supernaw is having his best season as a receiver, but the depth tight end is still an afterthought in the Titans offense. He's up to four catches for 62 yards on the year.

Allen (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Colts writer Kevin Bowen reports.

Allen's injury is considered a week-to-week ordeal, and considering he didn't practice this week, it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. While Allen's situation will continue to be updated going forward, Jack Doyle stands to benefit as long as he remains sidelined.

Graham (knee) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

While the injury report pointed to a knee injury for Graham's absence Wednesday, it was likely a veritable veteran's day off. Expect him to serve as a safety net for the less mobile Russell Wilson (knee/pectoral) on Sunday in a visit to his former squad, the Saints.

Allen (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Allen's ankle issue is a week-to-week injury and come Friday we'll look for the Colts to officially rule the tight end out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Jack Doyle -- and Erik Swoope to a lesser degree -- are thus on track to continue to fill in for Allen this weekend.

Henry (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

Thus the rookie tight end appears likely to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos. The last time Henry suited up against Denver's vaunted defense he performed quite well, posting a 6/83/1 stat line in a San Diego win in Week 6. Barring any unforeseen setback, Henry will try to match or exceed those numbers this weekend.

Graham (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

For the third time this season, Graham will be held out of practice in a given week, but the absences haven't impacted his viability on game day. Indeed, he's displayed an improved rapport with Russell Wilson (knee/pectoral) from a disappointing 2015 campaign, hauling in 23 of 36 passes over the last four contests. Barring additional DNPs this week, he should be one of the top considerations for Wilson yet again Sunday in New Orleans.

Coach Mike McCoy said Wednesday that he's "hopeful" Henry (concussion) can play Sunday against the Broncos, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Henry, who was limited at practice Wednesday, put up a 6/83/1 stat line against the Broncos in Week 6. If he ends up not being able to play this weekend, veteran TE Antonio Gates would be a candidate for added targets in the Chargers' offense in Week 8.

Allen (ankle) wasn't seen on crutches Wednesday, but the timetable for his return is three to five weeks, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Allen was called week to week after suffering the injury in Week 6. It looks like he'll be out this week and may not return until Week 9 at the earliest. More likely, he'll return for Week 11 after Indy's bye during Week 10.
