Teagan Quitoriano TE | ATL
Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Practices in full Tuesday
Quitoriano (calf) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.
The tight end, who had his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened earlier in the day, took a big step in the right direction ahead of Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Chargers. Quitoriano was placed on IR in late November with what was originally believed to be a knee injury, though it was listed as a calf issue on Houston's Tuesday injury report. The 2022 fifth-round pick played on 96 offensive snaps in 2024 and did not catch a pass.

Jordan Murray TE | CHI
Bears' Jordan Murray: Signs deal with Bears
The Bears signed Murray to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Murray will head to Chicago ahead of the 2025 campaign after spending time with both the Cardinals' and Giants' practice squads in 2024. The tight end has yet to make his NFL debut after going undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Grant Calcaterra TE | PHI
Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Two grabs in season finale
Calcaterra caught two of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.
The Eagles rested most of their starters in Week 18 with the second seed in the NFC locked up. However, they gave starting tight end Dallas Goedert the chance to knock off some rust after a four-game absence due to a knee injury, so Calcaterra didn't have the same workload boost as most of the team's backups. Thanks to more missed time from Goedert throughout the year, Calcaterra finished his third professional season with career highs in catches (24), yards (298) and touchdowns (one).

MyCole Pruitt TE | PIT
Steelers' MyCole Pruitt: Working through knee injury
Pruitt (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Pruitt likely picked up the injury during the Steelers' Week 18 loss to the Bengals. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens. For most of the 2024 regular season, Pruitt served as a blocking tight end and third on the Steelers' depth chart behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. Pruitt ended the regular season with six catches (on 10 targets) for 40 yards and one touchdown across 12 games in his first season in Pittsburgh.

Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Minimal production in loss
Pitts caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Panthers.
Pitts finished the 2024 campaign with a quiet day against Carolina. The 24-year-old tight end was mostly a disappointment for fantasy managers this season, totaling just 47 catches on 74 targets for 602 yards and four touchdowns. Pitts will remain under contract with Atlanta in 2025, as the Falcons exercised the $10.88 million team option on his rookie contract last April. The Florida product will look to turn things around in a contract year next season, and he'll likely be catching passes from Michael Penix at quarterback with Kirk Cousins expected to be cut in the offseason.

Teagan Quitoriano TE | ATL
Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Designated for return to practice
The Texans announced Tuesday that Quitoriano (calf) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened.
Quitoriano will have a 21-day window to practice without counting against the active roster, during which time he can be brought off IR if deemed healthy. That makes Saturday's wild-card round playoff game against the Chargers his first chance to retake the field.

Will Dissly TE | LAC
Chargers' Will Dissly: Scores touchdown in Week 18
Dissly took the field for 43 of the Chargers' 75 snaps on offense and recorded five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Raiders.
Dissly found the end zone for the second time during the regular season and finished with 50 catches for 481 yards on 64 targets -- all career highs -- over his 15 regular-season appearances. He was one of four tight ends the Chargers kept active in Week 18, but Dissly's 57 percent snap share handily outpaced Tucker Fisk (35 percent), Stone Smartt (19 percent) and Hayden Hurst (eight percent). Expect Dissly to remain the Chargers' clear top tight end as the team kicks off postseason play Saturday in Houston.

Tucker Fisk TE | LAC
Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Held without target Sunday
Fisk was not targeted in 25 offensive snaps during Sunday's 34-20 win at Las Vegas.
Despite the Chargers putting up 336 yards through the air in Week 18, Fisk was held without a catch for the first time since Week 10 versus the Titans. He enters the playoffs having hauled in seven of eight targets for 39 yards in 2024 and finishing second among Chargers tight ends in offensive snaps. If his contract is extended for 2025, he'd project to again fill a rotational role next season.

Noah Gray TE | KC
Chiefs' Noah Gray: Minimal action in Week 18
Gray gathered in his only target for one yard and rushed once for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 38-0 loss versus the Broncos.
Gray wound up playing just four snaps in the contest with the top seed in the AFC already in hand. He managed to secure his lone target on the day for just a yard, but it allowed him to cap off his fourth season with a career-best 40 receptions, 437 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. Gray inked a contract extension with the Chiefs before the 2024 campaign, so he's potentially tied to the team through the 2027 season.

Albert Okwuegbunam TE | IND
Colts' Albert Okwuegbunam: Inks futures deal with Indy
The Colts signed Okwuegbunam to a reserve/futures contract Monday.
Okwuegbunam joined Indianapolis' practice squad mid-December, and he'll now get a chance to continue his development with the team during the offseason. Prior to landing with the Colts, Okwuegbunam suited up for four regular-season games with the Eagles and failed to secure his only target.
