Kincaid exited Sunday's game against the Colts after sustaining a knee injury.

Prior to his departure, Kincaid had caught two of his four targets for 24 yards. While he's sidelined, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are next up for the Bills' tight end snaps.

Sanders secured both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.

Sanders operated as the top tight end with Tommy Tremble (back) out once again, and he cashed in with his first NFL touchdown on a five-yard grab in midway through the first quarter. The rookie heads into a Week 11 bye with six receptions for 95 yards and Sunday's score over his last two games and should continue to enjoy a reliable role in the air attack down the stretch run of the season.

Willis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Willis was signed to the 49ers' active roster Oct. 9 and played in Week 8 against the Cowboys, but he'll be a healthy scratch for Week 10. George Kittle, Eric Saubert and Jake Tonges will be the 49ers' three active tight ends for Sunday's game.

Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 10 game against the Giants due to a calf injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas was hurt in the first half and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. If he's unable to get back into the game, it would further thin a Panthers tight-end corps that is already without Tommy Tremble (back).

Dulcich (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

Dulcich will be a healthy scratch for a sixth straight game. He last played in Week 4 against the Jets. Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull will be Denver's active tight ends versus Kansas City.

Sanders is expected to serve as the Panthers' top tight end in Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich due to Tommy Tremble (back) being inactive for the contest, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

While Tremble has missed three of the Panthers' past four games due to the back injury and a concussion, Sanders has produced well in all three of those contests. He's logged at least 73 percent of snaps in each of those games while producing a 15-197-0 line on 18 targets. The first two of those games came with Andy Dalton under center, but the rookie fourth-round pick out of Texas showed a rapport with Bryce Young at quarterback in the Week 9 win over the Saints, finishing with four receptions for a career-high 87 yards.

Tremble (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tremble will be sidelined for the fifth time in 10 games on the season, with the back issue causing the last three absences. With Tremble sidelined in Germany, rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders should start at tight end and dominate the playing time after he logged 84 percent of the snaps in a Week 9 win over the Saints and finished with four catches for 87 yards on five targets.

The Lions signed Zylstra from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Zylstra was elevated from the practice squad for the maximum three times this season, and he'll continue to play in Detroit after being signed to the active roster. Zylstra will serve as the Lions' No. 3 tight end Sunday against the Texans behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

The Chargers signed Castles to the practice squad Saturday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Castles was let go from the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday, but he will stick around in Los Angeles.

Wilcox was elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Wilcox was last elevated to the active roster for Week 4 against the 49ers, during which he played 17 snaps on special teams. He'll serve as New England's No. 4 tight end Sunday against Chicago behind Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper and Jaheim Bell.
