The Chargers placed Svoboda (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.

Svoboda will need to miss at least four games on the injured list before he can return to the Chargers' practice squad. The undrafted free agent out of Wyoming has yet to participate in an NFL game.

Johnson (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Johnson caught two of three passes for 35 yards during the Giants' 27-27 tie against the Commanders in Week 5, but he may have tweaked his neck at some point during the game. He would avoid an injury tag for Sunday's contest against the Saints if he can log a full practice in one of the next two days of practice.

Tremble (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Tremble played a reduced role at tight end in Week 4 versus Detroit before the Panthers' bye in Week 5, and it seems plausible that whatever rib injury he's dealing with now could also have been the reason for that. In any case, he'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Martin-Robinson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Martin-Robinson logged his first practice since sustaining a hamstring injury in last Thursday's session. The tight end's limited participation suggests he is still working through the injury. It is unclear whether the 26-year-old will be back to playing shape in time for the Titans' contest against the Colts on Sunday.

The Raiders designated Runyon (lower body) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday.

Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, it's a lower body injury that Runyon has been dealing with since late August that has kept him out for the first five games of the year. Las Vegas now has 21 days to officially activate Runyon before he'd have to spend the rest of the season on IR, and given that he was in pads for practice Wednesday, he seems like a good bet to return to action soon.

Bowman was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Bowman was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad ahead of Week 1. While the 26-year-old is now on the active roster, he's currently listed as the No. 4 tight end on the depth chart, meaning he isn't expected to see much action.

The Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) on Wednesday.

Stowers has yet to play this season while tending to multiple injuries. While he still has some hurdles to clear, it appears he has a shot to suit up in Week 6 versus Carolina or Week 7 against Dallas.

The Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for Calcaterra (back) on Wednesday.

Calcaterra has yet to play this season. He will have 21 days to be added to the 53-man roster. If not, Calcaterra will miss the remainder of the 2026 campaign.

Sadiq (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, head coach Aaron Glenn said prior to practice that Sadiq remains in the five-step concussion protocol, but the rookie tight end apparently made enough progress to get in some on-field work during the Jets' first Week 6 session. Sadiq will still need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday in addition to receiving the green light to play from an independent neurologist in order to clear the protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Patriots. Mason Taylor would be in line to serve as the Jets' top pass-catching option at tight end if Sadiq can't gain clearance.

Waller was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a toe injury.

Waller has been a regular part of the Panthers' passing game this season, sitting on a 13-148-2 line on 19 targets through four contests. Coming out of the team's Week 5 bye, though, both Waller and fellow TE Tommy Tremble (ribs, LP) are tending to injuries, leaving some question marks in the position group. Practices Thursday and Friday likely will determine if either of them enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.
