Texans tight end Garrett Graham caught seven passes for 136 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Raiders. Graham was targeted 13 times. 

The touchdown -- a 42-yard pass which came in the second quarter on a Case Keenum scramble to the sideline -- was Graham's first since Week 4. It was the first 100-yard game of Graham's career, and the yardage eclipsed his previous career-high (82 yards) by over 50 yards. 

Graham and the Texans host the Jaguars in Week 12. 

Lions tight ends Brandon Pettigrew and Joseph Fauria had a tough time against the Steelers Week 11.

Pettigrew was the bigger threat in the passing game, catching three balls for 37 yards. Pettigrew was targeted five times. Fauria caught just one pass, picking up 14 yards. He was targeted twice. 

Both players will look for more Week 12 against Tampa Bay.

As expected, Saints premier tight end Jimmy Graham has been cleared to play Sunday against the 49ers despite foot and elbow ailments that had him designated as probable.

Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (elbow, foot) is officially probable for Week 11 against the 49ers, a good sign after he was listed as probable for the team's previous two games. Graham was limited throughout the week in practice as a result of his injuries, and it is not yet clear if he will be on a snap count as in previous games. 

Washington WR Leonard Hankerson, TE Logan Paulsen and RB Evan Royster are probable Week 11 against the Eagles.

All three players were full participants in practice this week. Hankerson has a hamstring injury, Paulsen is dealing with a knee issue and Royster has a back injury.

Ten Jets placed on Friday injury report should play Sunday against Buffalo. They are all listed as probable.

The offensive probables are lineman Willie Colon (calf), wide receivers Greg Salas (knee), Santonio Holmes (foot/hamstring), Stephen Hill (foot/knee) and Josh Cribbs (knee), tight ends Kellen Winslow (knee), Zach Sudfeld (knee) and Jeff Cumberland (concussion) and running backs Chris Ivory (knee) and Alex Green (hamstring).
