  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Productive in high-scoring win

    Andrews hauled in six of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.

    Andrews tied Rashod Bateman for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in both receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end was operating in a more robust role than usual due to Isaiah Likely's absence with a hamstring injury, and he recorded his fifth touchdown grab of the season on an 18-yard catch with 5:50 remaining. Andrews has at least four receptions in three of his past four games heading into a Week 11 road showdown against the division-rival Steelers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.

  • Cam Grandy TE | CIN

    Bengals' Cam Grandy: Will play vs. Ravens

    Grandy is active for Thursday night's game against Baltimore.

    Grandy signed with the Bengals in May as an undrafted free agent, and he was signed to the practice squad after he was unable to make the 53-man roster after training camp. Grandy was elevated from the practice squad, and he'll make his NFL regular-season debut serving as the Bengals' No. 4 tight end behind Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Logs full practice Thursday

    Goedert (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.

    Goedert got back on the field for the first time since he injured his hamstring in a Week 6 matchup with the Browns at Wednesday's walkthrough. His ensuing listing of full participant was encouraging, but his ability to handle every rep in an actual practice one day later is the key sign that he'll be available Sunday at Dallas. Goedert thus is poised to take over his spot as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end from Grant Calcaterra.

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Limited participant Thursday

    Hill (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Hill suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 against the Cardinals. He was unable to practice all of last week and was sidelined for this past Sunday's loss to the Bills, so Hill's ability to return to practice Thursday is a sign he's making progress through his injury. His practice participation over the next two days will provide more clarity on his status for Monday's game against the Rams. In the two games following the Dolphins' Week 6 bye, Hill logged four catches (on five targets) for 15 yards, with two of those targets occurring in the end zone.

  • Nick Vannett TE | TEN

    Titans' Nick Vannett: Pops up on injury report

    Vannett (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Vannett played 34 snaps on offense during the Titans' Week 9 overtime win over the Patriots and finished with two catches for 33 yards and one touchdown. While he was able to practice in full Wednesday, he was limited in Thursday's session due to a neck issue, which puts his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers in question. If Vannett is unable to play, Josh Whyle would figure to step into the No. 2 tight end behind starter Chigoziem Okonkwo.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Another limited showing

    Johnson (knee/back) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Johnson is operating with a cap on his practice reps this week due to knee and back injuries. He thus has just one more chance to prove his health Friday before the Giants potentially hand him a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers in Germany. Chris Manhertz (two targets this season) and Daniel Bellinger (three) are the other tight ends on New York's active roster.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Stays limited Thursday

    Pitts (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

    One day removed from being estimated as a limited participant due to a hamstring issue, Pitts officially had a cap on his reps Thursday as the Falcons got back on the practice field. He thus has only more chance to prove his health this week before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans. WR Drake London (hip pointer) also is banged-up, so the statuses of the team's top two pass catchers is up in the air for Week 10 action.

  • MyCole Pruitt TE | PIT

    Steelers' MyCole Pruitt: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Pruitt (knee) did not practice Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Pruitt initially suffered a knee injury in Week 2, causing him to miss four contests, but he was able to return to game action in Week 7. He wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so perhaps this is more of a rest day or Pruitt may have suffered an aggravation of some sort. Pruitt has played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in games he's been healthy for this season, catching two of three targets for 19 yards. He's mainly been a blocker.

  • Cam Grandy TE | CIN

    Bengals' Cam Grandy: Will be available at Baltimore

    The Bengals elevated Grandy from their practice squad for Thursday's game against the Ravens.

    Grandy has yet to see regular-season action up to this point, but he might get a chance to make his debut in Week 10. If he does play Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising if it was primarily on special teams.

  • Feleipe Franks TE | CAR

    Panthers' Feleipe Franks: Practicing at full speed

    Franks (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Franks hasn't officially been cleared from concussion protocol yet, but his activity at practice is a good sign for his potential availability for Week 10. If he can clear concussion protocol by Friday, there's a good chance he'd avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
