McBride caught seven of nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.

McBride led the Cardinals in catches, receiving yards and targets as Arizona pulled off the upset on the back of six field goals. The star tight end led the NFL with 42 catches through five weeks and has at least seven receptions in every game this season. McBride's up to 49 catches for 361 yards and three touchdowns on 65 targets as the top option in the passing game for the Cardinals heading into a Week 7 home game against the Broncos.

Kincaid (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Kincaid was evaluated by trainers in the blue medical tent late in the third quarter before heading to the locker room, where he will undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes should both see a bump in offensive snaps for as long as Kincaid is sidelined.

Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive against the Eagles on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Sanders, a fourth-round selection of the Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been a healthy scratch in every single regular-season game so far in 2026. His next chance to play is Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 25, but it's hard to see Sanders suiting up for that contest unless a Panthers tight end is unavailable.

Freiermuth (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Freiermuth was tacked on to the Steelers' injury report Saturday after he dealt with calf tightness during the team's walkthrough, but reports earlier Sunday indicated the veteran tight end was trending toward active status. Freiermuth's availability is now official, and after recording three touchdown receptions over the last two games, he could be in for another busy afternoon Sunday due to Pittsburgh being without all of Michael Pittman (IR, foot), Roman Wilson (IR, finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) in terms of pass-catching options.

Sadiq (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Sadiq took a questionable tag into the weekend, but after putting in a full practice Friday, he seemingly passed the final step of concussion protocol by gaining clearance from an independent neurologist Saturday. The rookie tight end isn't expected to face any major restrictions with his snap count during the Week 6 contest.

Granson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Granson remains a healthy scratch, destined to play only when the Titans require additional depth at tight end. The team will once again roll with Gunnar Helm, Daniel Bellinger and David Martin-Robinson as the three active tight ends.

Warren (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Warren was labelled as a game-time decision for Sunday's AFC South tilt after the second-year tight end popped up on Friday's injury report due to a lingering groin injury from training camp. Warren has seen at least seven targets in three of his last four games, and those opportunities will be absorbed by tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory, as well as wide receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen.

The Steelers are "optimistic" that Freiermuth (calf) -- who is listed as questionable -- will play Sunday at Tampa Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Pittsburgh added Freiermuth to the injury report Saturday, even though he was a full participant in practice throughout the week. Despite Freiermuth's late addition to the report, the Steelers are seemingly of the belief that he'll be available Sunday, which will be confirmed approximately 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Freiermuth isn't 100 percent, Darnell Washington and Robert Tonyan will be on hand for increased roles at tight end.

Sadiq (concussion) is in line to be available for Sunday's game at New England, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sadiq entered the concussion protocol during last Sunday's win against the Browns, and after opening Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited sessions, he capped it Friday with a full practice and a questionable designation. Such a progression suggested he only required clearance from an independent neurologist to be available this Sunday, something that'll be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Warren (groin) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Warren was added to the Colts' Week 6 practice report Friday as limited by a groin injury, which left him questionable for Sunday's matchup. Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reported afterward that Warren grimaced at one point after a red-zone rep at Friday's session, which seemingly is the cause for concern. Ultimately, a pregame workout will determine Warren's availability, or lack thereof, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
