Higgins gathered in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.

On the other side of the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Higgins extended his streak with exactly two targets to four games, but he brought in only one of them this time around. Working in an offense with TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 line on 15 targets Sunday) doesn't leave much volume behind for his position mates, and WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and RB James Conner typically are on the receiving end of most of QB Kyler Murray's other passes. Higgins' next chance to produce arrives this coming Sunday at Minnesota.

Mabry reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The tight end was elevated to the active roster for Week 12 with Noah Fant (groin) and Brady Russell (foot) both out. Mabry was still third on the depth chart behind AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown, and he only played on three of 64 offensive snaps, recording no stats.

Uzomah reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.

Uzomah was elevated for the second week in a row to serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. In Philadelphia's 37-20 win over the Rams, he played on 16 of 73 offensive snaps and did not record a stat. The former Bengal and Jet, who signed with the Eagles in October, has yet to see a target on 19 offensive snaps through two games this season.

Brown caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

Brown served as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner because Noah Fant (groin) was inactive. This was Brown's best game of the season, but with Fant seemingly on track for Week 13 versus the Jets, Brown will have little fantasy value going forward.

Barner caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

Barner served as the Seahawks' top tight end with Noah Fant (knee) inactive. Through three games as the starter, Barner generated just nine receptions for 61 yards. Fant has a good chance to return in Week 13 versus the Jets, which would revert Barner to a No. 2 tight end role where he previously hovered around a 40 percent snap share.

Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday.

The tight end was elevated for the second game in a row, but unlike last week, he did not see an offensive snap in Dallas' win over Washington. Fant played on 25 special-teams snaps and downed a punt in the fourth quarter. He remained behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford on the tight-end depth chart with Jake Ferguson (concussion) still out.

Westover reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Westover served as the Patriots' No. 4 tight end during Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Dolphins. He logged 14 snaps (one on offense, 13 on special teams) in that contest and did not record a stat.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Ferguson remains in the concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Ferguson made an early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans due to a concussion, which resulted in inactive status Sunday at Washington. On Monday, executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan that Ferguson is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, which was corroborated by his continued listing of DNP on Monday's practice estimate. Assuming Ferguson ends up missing a second game in a row later this week, Luke Schoonmaker (3-55-1 line on four targets, 65 percent snap share Sunday) and Brevyn Spann-Ford (2-24-0 on two targets, 50 percent) will continue to man tight end for Dallas.

Dulcich was waived by the Broncos on Monday, Mike Klis of 9NEWS reports.

Dulcich had been a healthy scratch in each of the Broncos' last eight games before being waived Monday. The third-year tight end from UCLA caught five of his 12 targets for 28 yards across 111 offensive snaps in Denver's first four games this season. The Broncos' tight-end room now consists of Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull and Nate Adkins.

The Chargers placed Hurst (hip) on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hurst already had been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Ravens, but he's now going to miss at least the next four contests. Will Dissly and Stone Smartt should handle tight end duties for the Chargers while Hurst is sidelined.
