The Broncos signed Lohner to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

The rookie seventh-rounder spent the entire season on the Broncos' practice squad after not making the 53-man roster following the conclusion of training camp. Lohner's lone elevation to the active roster came ahead of the Broncos' AFC divisional-round clash against the Bills, but he ended up being a healthy scratch. A future contract means Lohner will be on the Broncos' 90-man roster when the offseason officially kicks off Feb. 9, which will allow the Utah product to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

Parkinson caught three of four targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

Parkinson finished third on the team in receiving yards behind wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but the only pass that the tight end didn't catch will haunt him. Parkinson's drop came on a third down deep in Seattle territory in the fourth quarter with plenty of room to run in front of him. He likely would have scored the go-ahead touchdown had he caught the ball on the play, and while the Rams kept that drive going by converting on fourth down, they eventually turned the ball over on downs and lost by four. It was a sour note to cap an otherwise sweet season from Parkinson, who caught 43 of 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 regular-season appearances before adding eight catches for 152 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets spread across three playoff games. He has one year remaining on a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams.

Henry caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

Neither passing game did much in challenging wintry conditions, as Drake Maye threw for only 86 yards. New England's defense carried the team into Super Bowl LX, in which Henry will face the Seahawks. Henry could be a key component of New England's game plan against a Seattle defense that has been supbar at defending tight ends this season while excelling against other skill positions.

Schoonmaker caught 14 of 23 targets for 132 yards and zero touchdowns over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025.

The 2023 second-round pick has yet to miss a game in the NFL career, but Schoonmaker has done little else of note. His receiving numbers took a tumble from the 27-241-1 line he posted in 2024, and undrafted second-year player Brevyn Spann-Ford has moved past him on the depth chart due to his superior run blocking, although neither player is a threat to starting TE Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker has one more year left on his rookie contract, but he hasn't done much to secure a spot in the Cowboys' long-term plans.

Spann-Ford caught nine of 13 targets for 90 yards and his first career touchdown over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025.

The second-year tight end has emerged as a dependable depth option, drawing excellent grades for his run blocking while also handling a regular role on special teams. Spann-Ford got rewarded for his work in the trenches with a four-yard TD pass from Dak Prescott in Week 12, but his usage as a pass rush catcher behind starter Jake Ferguson remains limited. Spann-Ford has one more year left on his rookie contract before becoming a restricted free agent, so he should fill a similar spot on the depth chart in 2026.

Arroyo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Arroyo was activated injured reserve Friday after he was a full participant in practice for the second week in a row, but the Seahawks apparently weren't comfortable making the rookie second-round pick one of their three active tight ends Sunday. With Arroyo sitting out, Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup will serve as the reserve options at tight end behind AJ Barner.

Vannett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Vannett has played in each of the Rams' last seven games (including their two playoff contests). However, the veteran will be a healthy inactive for Sunday's playoff game while the Rams go with four active tight ends in Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen.

Krull (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Krull has been on injured reserve since breaking his foot back in October, and the reserve tight end will have to miss yet another pivotal game. The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice throughout the week, but the space demanded by the active roster and the reserve player's relatively low-priority role are likely what kept him from being activated for Sunday's contest.

The Steelers signed Galbreath to a reserve/future deal Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Galbreath spent early September on the Steelers' practice squad after failing to make the team's active roster. The tight end was eventually cut to make space for other additions, but will return to the team for the start of the coming season's on-field activities. The 24-year-old now has another shot to make the Steelers' 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

Kincaid (knee) reportedly played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, per Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com.

Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but subsequently remained bothered by the injury according to fellow TE Dawson Knox, which capped the 2023 first-rounder's snap counts during the 2025 campaign. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he could face an estimated recovery timeframe of six-to-nine months.
