Sanders (ankle) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Sanders is practicing for the first time since suffering a right high-ankle sprain Week 3 versus the Falcons. After having missed the last two games, it appears the second-year pro could have a chance to return for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. If cleared to play Week 6, Sanders will rejoin Tommy Tremble atop the depth chart at the tight end position.

Muse signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday.

Muse failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster in late August but has since found work with the Cardinals' practice squad. The 2022 seventh-round pick from South Carolina last played with the Vikings in 2024, making four appearances and logging 64 total snaps (47 on special teams, 17 on offense).

Reiman (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

The second-year pro from Illinois was carted off the field with an ankle injury during the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Titans and was expected to miss the remainder of the season, so his shift to IR comes as no surprise. With Reiman sidelined for the rest of the year, Elijah Higgins and Travis Vokolek are expected to serve as Arizona's top reserve tight ends.

Mitchell-Paden hauled in his lone target for a three-yard reception in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

One of four tight ends the Ravens made active in Week 5, Mitchell-Paden finished last among the quartet in offensive snap share (28 percent), but he was able to come away with his first NFL reception across his 12 plays. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 257 pounds, Mitchell-Paden brings most of his value to the Ravens as a blocker and as a core special-teams player, so he's unlikely to command much target volume even if Baltimore were to lose Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and/or Charlie Kolar for any period of time.

Kolar hauled in his lone target for a 10-yard reception in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

After logging at least half the snaps in each of the Ravens' first three games, Kolar has, unsurprisingly, seen his playing time trend down the past two weeks while Baltimore has welcomed fellow tight end Isaiah Likely back from a foot injury. Andrews and Likely remain the Ravens' top two options at the position, but Kolar still logged 20 of the team's 43 snaps on offense in Week 5 while Baltimore frequently deployed Likely out of the slot.

Hudson went without a target while playing just one of the Bengals' 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

Though Hudson flashed some strong pass-catching chops in his limited opportunities the past two seasons with Cincinnati, he's struggled to find playing time in 2025 with the Bengals bringing back top tight end Mike Gesicki on a new deal and signing Noah Fant to a one-year contract in the offseason. Through five weeks, Hudson has been a healthy inactive on one occasion and has played just two snaps on offense in the four games in which he's suited up.

Granson went without a target while playing 22 of the Eagles' 61 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos.

Despite seeing his most extensive playing time of the season, Granson went without a look in the passing game for the third game in a row. Granson still looks like a strong candidate to match or exceed last week's 36 percent snap share in this Thursday's game against the Giants. The Eagles are expected to be without Grant Calcaterra (oblique) for Week 6, leaving Granson as the clear top backup to top tight end Dallas Goedert.

Arroyo secured his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

Arroyo played 26 of the Seahawks' 61 offensive snaps, behind fellow tight end AJ Barner (49) and ahead of Eric Saubert (17). The rookie has recorded just six catches for 92 yards across Seattle's first five games this season. Arroyo's limited usage makes him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The Seahawks visit the Jaguars in Week 6.

Houston executive vice president and general manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that he expects Stover (foot) to return at some point in 2025, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Stover suffered a broken foot in the season-opening loss to the Rams and was placed on injured reserve, which ensures at least four missed games. Caserio's comments suggest the tight end will be unavailable beyond the four-week minimum. While addressing the status of Houston's injured players, the GM lumped Stover into a group whose return timeline is "not as definitive" as it is with some other players.

Likely secured his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

Likely's catch against the Texans on Sunday was his first of the season. The 25-year-old tight end played 23 of the Ravens' 43 offensive snaps, just behind Mark Andrews (25). Andrews led all tight ends in both receptions (2) and targets (3). With Cooper Rush operating as Baltimore's starting quarterback as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is sidelined, the offense struggled to get much going in the contest. If Rush continues to start, the potential success of all Baltimore pass catchers is capped until Jackson returns. With that said, Likely should continue to play significant snaps but faces an uphill battle for consistent opportunities. The Coastal Carolina product will have his next chance to take a step forward in the Ravens' offense in a Week 6 matchup against the Rams.
