  • MarQueis Gray TE | MIA

    Dolphins' MarQueis Gray: Questionable to return with leg injury

    Gray has a leg injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Titans, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Gray sits behind Jordan Cameron and Dion Sims on the Dolphins' tight end depth chart, so if he is forced to miss the rest of the game, it shouldn't affect the overall performance of Miami's offense too much. In any case, Dominique Jones is in line to take Gray's share of snaps if the latter is unable to return to Sunday's game.

  • Jace Amaro TE | TEN

    Titans' Jace Amaro: Inactive for Week 5

    Amaro (shoulder) is inactive for the Titans' Week 5 matchup Sunday against the Dolphins, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

    Amaro had a minor breakout in Week 3 against the Raiders when Delanie Walker sat out with an injury, catching three balls for 59 yards. Walker returned to action last week, resulting in Amaro seeing a downgraded role, but he wasn't able to come away from that contest unscathed. A shoulder injury rendered him a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday before he logged a full session Friday, but it wasn't enough for the Titans to clear him to play. With Amaro out, Anthony Fasano and Phillip Supernaw will serve as the backups behind Walker.

  • Darren Waller TE | CAR

    Ravens' Darren Waller: Activated to roster

    Waller was moved to the Ravens' active roster on Saturday.

    Waller could see his first action of the 2016 regular season Sunday against the Redskins after serving a four-game suspension. Dennis Pitta and Crockett Gillmore figure to continue serving as the top two options in the pecking order at tight end despite Waller's return.

  • C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI

    Bengals' C.J. Uzomah: Set to replace Eifert yet again

    Uzomah's teammate Tyler Eifert (back) won't play in Sunday's game against Dallas, Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports

    Uzomah and Tyler Kroft both started last week against Miami, with the former logging 42 snaps and the latter handling 44 (out of 70). While the playing time split may have been even, Uzomah held a 5-0 advantage in targets and a 4-0 edge in receptions. The breakdown was similar Week 3 against Denver, making it clear Uzomah is the team's top receiving option at tight end in Eifert's absence. That being said, Eifert could be back as soon as Week 6, considering he's now dealing with a back injury that isn't thought to be overly serious, while his surgically-repaired ankle is actually healthy enough to play on.

  • Lions' Brandon Pettigrew: Nearing return to practice

    Pettigrew (knee - ACL) could return to practice in two weeks, the Oakland Press reports.

    Pettigrew, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee last season, has resided on the Lions' PUP list thus far into the 2016 campaign. When he's able to return, he'll likely provide an instant upgrade to Detroit's blocking efforts in both the running game as well as pass protection due to his nature as an in-line blocking specialist. However, with Eric Ebron (knee) in the fold, Pettigrew faces long odds at achieving fantasy relevance.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Chargers' Hunter Henry: Could stay heavily involved even if Gates plays

    Henry may get more playing time than Antonio Gates (hamstring) even if the veteran returns for Sunday's game in Oakland, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Gates is listed as questionable after missing the past two games, and there's no shortage of reasons to limit his workload, starting with the possibility he could re-injure his hamstring. He also isn't much of a blocker at this point in his career, and Henry was impressive the past two weeks, catching nine passes for 133 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. It thus seems Henry will have a key role, regardless of Gates' availability. If Gates misses another game, the second-round rookie will once again handle an every-down role, after playing 100 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 3 and 97 percent in Week 4.

  • Jets' Braedon Bowman: Won't play Week 5

    Bowman (knee) has been ruled out for Week 5.

    Bowman didn't take part in practice this week and wasn't realistically expected to play. It's unclear if he'll be ready to take the field by Week 6.

  • Jace Amaro TE | TEN

    Titans' Jace Amaro: Questionable for Sunday

    Amaro (shoulder) is expected to play despite being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Amaro was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but finished the week with a full session, which has him anticipated to play versus Miami. While the Titans will surely welcome having him available, Amaro still sits behind Delanie Walker, Anthony Fasano and Phillip Supernaw on the team"s tight end depth chart at the moment.

  • Larry Donnell TE | BAL

    Giants' Larry Donnell: Ruled out for Week 5 in Green Bay

    Donnell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Green Bay.

    With just six days to recover from a concussion that appeared quite serious, Donnell never had much of a shot to play in Sunday's game against the Packers. His absence will leave Will Tye to handle a heavy workload, as the two tight ends had previously been splitting snaps in New York's pass-oriented offense.

  • Connor Hamlett TE | DAL

    Browns' Connor Hamlett: Poised for bigger role

    Coach Hue Jackson said that Hamlett is primed to carve out a role in his first game on the active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Hamlett was one of team's final cuts prior to trimming the roster to 53-men. While it's difficult to interpret whether Hamlett's role will come on offense or special teams, he could be worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.
