Arroyo (knee) did not practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

It's not a good sign after the tight end suffered a knee injury in Seattle's win over Atlanta last week. The Seahawks have one more practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts. Arroyo has 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on the year.

Thomas (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Thomas' upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Eagles. After exiting the second half of last week's loss to the Broncos, the tight end has one more opportunity to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest. If the 29-year-old is unable to play, Carter Runyon will take over as the No. 3 tight end behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Pitts (knee) is listed as active Thursday at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts closed Week 15 prep as questionable to play after being listed as limited on all three practice reports due to a knee injury. It won't stop him from suiting up Thursday, though, and with WR Drake London (knee) missing a fourth game in a row, Pitts is in line to serve as one of the top pass catchers for QB Kirk Cousins. On the first three occasions, Pitts recorded a cumulative 15-197-0 line on 23 targets.

Otton (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday versus the Falcons.

Otton opened Week 15 prep with back-to-back DNPs before returning as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, but his doubtful listing for Thursday's game indicated he was trending toward an absence, which now has been confirmed. Tampa Bay will entrust TE duties to Payne Durham and Devin Culp this week, while Otton's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 21 at Carolina.

Mayer (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

Mayer, who has missed two straight games, was limited Wednesday, but the tight end's full participation Thursday paves the way for him to rejoin the Raiders' lineup Sunday against the Eagles. With a 22-182-1 line on 32 targets in nine games this season, Mayer carries modest fantasy upside into Week 15 action in his complementary role working alongside fellow TE Brock Bowers, who leads the team in catches (53), targets (72), receiving yards (619) and receiving TDs (six).

Dissly (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Dissly was a limited participant in Wednesday's session with a shoulder injury he likely sustained in the overtime win over the Eagles on Monday night. The tight end's upgrade to full participation and the corresponding clearing of an injury designation mean he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Dissly's projected availability will once again dampen Tyler Conklin's chances to garner active status after the No. 3 tight end was a healthy scratch in Dissly's return Monday night.

The Broncos waived Lewis on Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

After being signed to the active roster Dec. 6 and playing 28 offensive snaps in the Week 14 win over the Raiders, the Broncos have opted to cut ties with the 41-year-old Lewis. The jettisoning of Lewis may be a signal Nate Adkins (knee) is close to making a return. Lewis will now go on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, the 2006 first-round pick will once again be a free agent.

Smartt (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Smartt entered the league's concussion protocol after sustaining an injury late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. The tight end's upgrade to limited participation means he is progressing through the league's protocol. The 27-year-old will have just one more practice to pass an independent neurological exam and upgrade to full participation in an attempt to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Andrews (glute) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

This is a new injury for Andrews. He's coming off a disappointing one-catch performance against the Steelers and has posted fewer receiving yards than Isaiah Likely in each of Baltimore's last two games. If Andrews is available Sunday, both he and Likely could be heavily involved in the passing game against a Bengals defense that has allowed the most catches, receiving yards and touchdowns in the NFL to tight ends. Andrews would probably avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game if he returns to full participation Friday.

Ferguson (calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Ferguson opened Week 15 prep as limited due to a calf injury Wednesday, so his downgrade one day later is somewhat concerning. However, he was seen rehabbing with the Cowboys' training staff on the side Thursday, according to Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. Friday's injury report may include a ruling on Ferguson's status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Vikings, but if he needs to miss any time, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford are the next TEs up on Dallas' roster.
