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

Graham followed the same practice routine last week, so he'll be among the Seahawks' starters Sunday at Tampa Bay. Facing the Buccaneers' 25th-ranked pass defense, he's a decent bet to make an impact versus a unit that has given up 13.8 YPC to tight ends this season.

Supernaw (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

This marks Supernaw's second consecutive absence as he remains in concussion protocol. He appears questionable to play Sunday in Chicago.

Graham (knee) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

Graham salvaged Week 11 with a 35-yard touchdown reception Sunday versus the Eagles. Otherwise, he managed two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards. Assuming he returns to a full session Thursday or Friday, he'll attempt to strike again Sunday versus a Buccaneers defense that has given up 71.3 yards per game and three touchdowns to tight ends over the last four contests.

Uzomah (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Uzomah was inactive in Week 11, and will likely sit again Sunday if he is unable to practice before game time. As Tyler Eifert continues to emerge as a centerpiece of the Bengals offense, Uzomah will likely see less and less of a role at tight end.

Supernaw (head) did not practice Wednesday.

Supernaw sustained a head injury during last week's game against the Colts, the specifics of which aren't certain. However, he'll have to get back on the practice field before having any chance of clearing concussion protocol.

Although Pettigrew (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, he remains on the PUP list, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The activity marks Pettigrew's first since tearing the ACL in his left knee last Dec. 13. A resident of the PUP list since training camp kicked off, his window to receive clearance for game action has been opened, giving the Lions 21 days to determine whether that comes to fruition. If it does, he'll serve as a blocking complement to starting tight end Eric Ebron.

Pettigrew (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The Lions had to decide whether to activate Pettigrew from the PUP list or place him on injured reserve by Tuesday, and they opted for the former. It seems unlikely Pettigrew will be able to play this week with the Lions playing Thursday, but it should not be long before he is able to get on the field. When he does, he will slot in as a reserve tight end behind starter Eric Ebron.

The Jaguars have placed Lewis (calf) on IR.

With Lewis done for the season, the Jaguars' tight end corps moving forward will be led by Julius Thomas, with Ben Koyack and Neal Sterling also in the mix. Lewis' 2016 campaign thus ends with a 20/169/1 stat line over 10 contests.

Allen was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's win over Tennessee, despite playing 49 snaps on offense.

Allen played more than Jack Doyle (39 snaps), but neither tight end was involved in the passing game as Doyle had just one target. Over the past three weeks, Allen has disappeared in the passing attack, with only six targets and two receptions in that span.

Ertz (hamstring) caught six of 11 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-15 loss at Seattle.

Ertz was questionable heading into the game, but made an impact in the second quarter, scoring on a four-yard touchdown catch. On that play, Ertz showed great awareness, reaching the ball over the goal line as he was about to get tackled at the one-yard line. He could have had an even bigger game, but his 57-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter was erased due to an illegal formation penalty. His 11 targets led the team. Ertz will take on the Packers next week on Monday Night Football.
