Muse caught both of his targets for two yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Muse played 21 offensive snaps and 20 special-teams snaps in Sunday's game. The No. 4 tight end proved that versatility can lead to production, making the most of his red zone opportunities and cashing in for a key score as the Falcons broke the 49ers' undefeated streak.

Higbee caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

Higbee was expected to have a chance to see an increase in production with wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) unavailable, but the tight end put together a disappointing performance. Fellow tight ends Colby Parkinson (5-48-0) and Davis Allen (4-20-2) had more impressive days, and it may be hard to predict which of the three will be the go-to option any given week until Terrance Ferguson (ankle) returns from injured reserve.

Washington caught his lone target for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints in Paris.

Washington made his one catch count, out-muscling a defender for the goal-line score. The burly tight end has Aaron Rodgers' eyes in the scoring area and now has a touchdown in back-to-back weeks and three of his last four outings. On the year, Washington has 16 grabs for 160 yards and three scores on 23 targets. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet most weeks.

Head coach Mike LaFleur stated he's "not too sure" if Reiman (ankle) will play this season, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Reiman hasn't played this season and is currently on the reserve/PUP list. While there haven't been any updates on when the 25-year-old will be back on the field, it appears the door isn't fully closed regarding his return before the end of the 2026 campaign. Reiman has appeared in 21 regular-season games for the Cardinals since being drafted in the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft, amassing nine catches for 55 yards.

The Browns waived Ryan on Monday.

The rookie tight end has appeared in all six games this season but has logged just two snaps on offense and 73 on special teams. He'll be a candidate for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Velling was cut from the Falcons' practice squad Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Velling went undrafted in 2026 but was eventually signed to the Falcons' practice squad. The rookie will presumably search for work with another NFL club, though he likely has a ways to go to get on the field during the regular season.

The Falcons signed Jenkins to the practice squad Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Jenkins was waived by the Eagles on Thursday, though it didn't take him long to find a new team, albeit as a member of the Falcons' practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season games for Philadelphia in the last three seasons but has only one catch during his career.

Ertz is not being elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Cowboys, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

With Philly's tight ends all healthy now, Ertz will remain glued to the practice squad for the second straight week. The veteran has appeared in three games this season, catching just three of eight targets for 22 empty yards. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 35 years old.

The Eagles activated Calcaterra (back) from injured reserve Monday.

Calcaterra has been cleared to play Monday night against Dallas, giving Philly another capable tight end behind Dallas Goedert. It's unclear how the playing time will shake out between blocker Johnny Mundt, catch-first rookie Eli Stowers and Calcaterra, but the Eagles could lean into the tight end-heavy sets with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both ruled out.

The Bengals signed Grandy off the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Grandy spent the previous two seasons with Cincinnati prior to being a part of final cuts this past summer. With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) done for the season and Erick All going down with a knee injury Sunday against the Ravens, Grandy gives the Bengals another reliable tight end behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample.
