Shenker reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Shenker was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, playing one snap on offense and 15 snaps with the special-teams unit, logging one tackle on punt coverage. The tight end has recorded one reception for seven yards while appearing in six games with Las Vegas in 2024.

Firkser reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Firkser elevated to the active roster ahead of Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans, failing to record any offensive stats while playing eight snaps on offense. Additionally, the tight end secured a tackle on kick coverage while playing 15 snaps on special teams. Firkser will now need to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game this season.

Whyle did not see a target in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Colts.

Whyle matched a season high with five targets in Week 15, but he didn't find his way to the stat sheet in Sunday's loss. He's played more than 11 offensive snaps just once in Tennessee's last four games.

Stover (appendix) was a full participant in Monday's practice.

Stover has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy, but he's poised to return for Wednesday's Christmas Day game versus Baltimore. Stover has a 14-132-1 receiving line on 20 targets behind Dalton Schultz this season.

Musgrave (ankle) is listed as active Monday against the Saints, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Musgrave will be available for the first time since Week 4 after completing his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October. Tucker Kraft has taken over as Green Bay's No. 1 TE, but Musgrave should be in the mix for snaps and targets at the position along with Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick. In four games before the injury, Musgrave hauled in five of seven targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns.

The Chiefs designated Hendershot (calf) to return to practice from injured reserve Monday.

Hendershot was placed on IR in late November after going down with a calf injury versus the Panthers in Week 12. The third-year tight end has now missed the required four games while on IR, which means he could return as early as Wednesday against the Steelers. His practice involvement Tuesday should give the best indication on what his true return timetable will look like.

Kansas City signed Tonyan to their practice squad Monday.

After bouncing between Minnesota's practice squad and active roster this season, Tonyan was eventually cut from the practice squad in late November. Now, he'll be a part of the Chiefs' practice squad with the option of being bumped up to the team's roster should they need him. The veteran tight end has yet to record a catch this season.

Seattle estimated Fant (knee) as a limited practice participant Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

The Seahawks didn't actually practice Monday, so Fant's status was an estimation of his level of participation had a practice been held. The veteran tight end dealt with a knee injury last week as well, so he's likely still working through the same issue. Fant was able to suit up Sunday versus Minnesota and logged 75 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps, and unless he's had a setback it's likely that he'll be able to take the field this Thursday against Chicago.

The Packers activated Musgrave (ankle) off injured reserve Monday.

Musgrave had been on IR since Oct. 11 due to an ankle injury. He was designated to return Dec. 11 but didn't play last Sunday against Seattle. However, Musgrave logged a trio of limited practices this week and now appears set to return to action Monday. Tucker Kraft likely will continue working as Green Bay's top tight end, though once Musgrave has ramped up enough, he could eat into Kraft's opportunities.

Gray secured his only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Gray saw his lowest target total since Week 9 during Saturday's game, which featured the long-awaited regular-season debut of Hollywood Brown in a Chiefs uniform. Gray remained around his usual snap share, playing 50 percent of offensive snaps behind starter Travis Kelce. Gray should remain on the fantasy radar in leagues that start multiple tight ends heading into Wednesday's road matchup against Pittsburgh.
