The Bengals signed tight end Kevin Brock, who was cut by the team late last month, reports the National Football Post.

The Jaguars put tight end Marcedes Lewis on injured reserve/designated to return with a high ankle sprain. Lewis won't be eligible to play again until Week 12.

Colts tight ends Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen were barely involved in the passing game Week 2. Fleener caught his only target for 13 yards, while Allen was targeted once without a catch.

They'll visit Jacksonville in Week 3.

Tight end Zach Ertz has turned into the Eagles' big-play receiver. He averaged 21.5 yards on his four catches Week 2 at Indianapolis after averaging 25.7 yards per reception Week 1.

Ertz didn't find the end zone Monday night like he did in the opener, but he again showed off his huge catch radius and his 24-yard reception set up the winning field goal. He drew six targets, third-most on the team, and finished with 81 receiving yards. Ertz plays the Redskins in Week 3.

Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis will miss more than a month as a result of an ankle injury suffered in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Redskins in Week 2.

Lewis scored a 63-yard touchdown in the game, but suffered a high-ankle sprain later in the game that will keep him out 6-8 weeks, the team announced Monday. The Jaguars have eight weeks until their Week 11 bye, so if he does not return for Week 10 against the Cowboys, the earliest he can be back will be Week 2 in Indianapolis. 

The Texans received minor contributions from several role players in a Week 2 win over the Raiders.

In the passing game, tight end Garrett Graham and Damaris Johnson were each limited to one catch on one target. Graham caught a 26-yard pass in the first quarter, and Johnson caught a 4-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick on the opening drive. Jonathan Grimes rushed for 9 yards on three carries, while Ronnie Brown gained 2 yards on three carries.

The Rams received minor contributions from a couple of role players in a Week 2 win over Tampa Bay. Chris Givens and Cory Harkey were each targeted twice by backup Austin Davis. Harkey caught both targets for 8 yards, while Givens was held to just one catch for 15 yards.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce led the team in receiving Week 2.

Kelce hauled in four passes for 81 yards. He was targeted six times during the contest. Kelce proved to be a big-play threat. His shortest reception went for 17 yards. Kelce was not a threat in the red zone, as the team opted to run with Knile Davis when they got close to the end zone.

Kelce will look for more Week 3 against the Dolphins. 

Giants tight end Larry Donnell did a good job Week 2 against the Cardinals showing his Week 1 breakout performance wasn't a fluke. After totaling five catches for 56 yards and one touchdown in the season opener, Donnell came back Week 2 to total seven catches for 81 yards -- both team highs.

Donnell came alive for the Giants' offense after halftime, as he managed just two catches for 22 yards in the first half. Donnell, who was targeted nine times, has totaled 12 catches for 137 yards and one touchdown through two games.

The Giants are back in action Week 3 vs. Houston.

Three receivers pitched in to the offensive effort Sunday for the Browns in their win over New Orleans. The only one of the trio with multiple catches was Taylor Gabriel, who snagged three for 13 yards.

Travis Benjamin added one catch for six yards while tight end Jim Dray caught one for five yards.
