  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Five catches against KC

    Ferguson caught five of six targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.

    The tight end nearly hauled in his eighth TD of the season late in the third quarter on a 13-yard toss from Dak Prescott, but replay showed that Ferguson's second foot got tangled up with his defenders and never landed in bounds at the back of the end zone. It was still the fourth straight game in which he's caught at least four passes, and Ferguson has 70 receptions on the season -- one short of the career high he set in 2023, and second among all tight ends this year behind Trey McBride's 80. Ferguson will look to establish that new personal best Week 14 against the Lions.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Hauls in fifth TD of season

    Kelce caught five of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    The future Hall of Famer hit pay dirt for the fifth time this season, and the 84th time in his career, on a two-yard toss from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter. Kelce has caught at least four passes in five straight games, compiling a 28-344-3 line on 38 targets over that stretch, but he may have a hard time keeping that momentum going Week 14 against the Texans.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Just one grab against Detroit

    Musgrave caught his only target for a 23-yard reception in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    The third-year tight end continues to see a limited role in the Packers' passing attack, even with Tucker Kraft (knee) lost for the season. Musgrave has hauled in a single pass in three straight games, and in four contests since Kraft went down, he's managed just a 6-52-0 line on eight targets. He'll be little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 14 against the Bears.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Listed as limited Thursday

    Henry (toe) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, which was based on what the Patriots did on the field Wednesday.

    The Patriots didn't practice on Thursday, but Henry -- who logged a 79 percent snap share and was targeted 10 times in this past Sunday's win over the Bengals -- was deemed limited based on his activity in Wednesday's session. The tight end thus has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the team assigns game statuses for Monday night's game against the Giants.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Returns to limited practice

    Kincaid (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Kincaid hadn't been able to practice since hurting his hamstring during Week 10 action, so his return to the field Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, is a step in the right direction for the tight end ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Kincaid is able to upgrade his practice participation, as well as his Week 13 game status.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Downgrades to non-participant

    Okonkwo (foot) did not practice Thursday.

    Okonkwo has played through a foot injury without missing a single game since late October, but his status will now need to be closely monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. The fourth-year pro turned in his usual limited activity level Wednesday, and he may have to resume handling similar reps at Friday's practice in order to be cleared for Week 13. Rookie tight end Gunnar Helm will benefit from increased opportunities if Okonkwo misses any time.

  • Nick Vannett TE | LAR

    Rams' Nick Vannett: Signed by Rams

    Vannett was signed to the Rams' active roster Wednesday.

    Vannett has spent the entirety of the season with the Vikings organization, operating primarily as a practice squad option while appearing in four contests with the team. The tight end will now get a shot with Los Angeles, providing the team with an additional depth option behind Colby Parkinson while Tyler Higbee (ankle) is sidelined.

  • Zach Horton TE | DET

    Lions' Zach Horton: Elevated as depth option

    Horton was elevated from Detroit's practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

    Horton has been on the Lions' practice squad all season, but he'll get his first chance to be active in Week 13. Both Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) will be sidelined Thursday against the Packers, so Horton provides needed depth to the position group.

  • Lions' Anthony Firkser: Joins active roster

    The Lions signed Firkser to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

    Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in mid-November and was elevated for their Week 12 win over the Giants. With both Brock Wright (neck) and Sam LaPorta (back) sidelined, Firkser should have a chance to be active for Thursday's game against the Packers.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: No practice to begin week

    Adkins (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Adkins has missed Denver's last three games with the knee issue. He has yet to practice in any capacity since suffering the injury, so there should be significant doubt about his status for Denver's Week 13 matchup against the Commanders.
