Myarick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Myarick will head back to the practice squad after he logged three snaps on offense during Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers. If Brock Bowers (knee) is available to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Saints, it's unlikely that Myarick would be elevated for that contest.

Engram hauled in his lone target for 17 yards during the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Engram's five-yard catch early in the second quarter was nullified by an illegal formation penalty. The veteran tight end didn't show up in the box score until his 17-yard grab midway through the fourth quarter, which helped lead to a three-yard rushing touchdown by rookie Jonah Coleman three plays later. Engram was listed as a co-starter at tight end alongside Adam Trautman, with the former playing 32 of 62 offensive snaps (51.6 percent). Engram's offensive production figures to fluctuate on a week-to-week basis, especially with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton commanding most of the targets from Bo Nix. The Broncos will welcome in the Rams for Week 3 on Sept. 27.

Otton caught five of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Four of the five passes Otton caught went for 10 yards or less, but he still led all Bucs pass catchers with five receptions while finishing third in receiving yards to Tez Johnson (49) and Chris Godwin (46). Otton played 58 of 65 offensive snaps (89.2 percent) and has served as a security blanket in the passing game for Baker Mayfield. That said, Otton may be used more as a pass blocker Week 3 against the Vikings and their blitz-happy defense under defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

Muse (shoulder) was a limited participant in Monday's estimated practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Muse likely sustained his shoulder injury in the Falcons' loss to the Panthers on Sunday. The tight end was listed as limited, meaning there is a chance he could work through the injury and upgrade to full participation by Wednesday to dodge an injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Packers.

Freiermuth caught four passes (on five targets) for 32 yards while logging a two-yard carry during the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Freiermuth and Darnell Washington were both named starters for Sunday's game, with the former leading all Steelers tight ends with 46 of 67 offensive snaps (68.7 percent). Unlike Week 1 against the Falcons, Freiermuth did not draw a red-zone target from Aaron Rodgers in Week 2, with the veteran quarterback averaging just 4.8 yards per pass attempt against New England. Freiermuth will take a 9-78-1 line (on 10 targets) into a Week 3 AFC North divisional showdown against the Bengals.

Ertz is signing with Philadelphia's practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dallas Goedert is expected to miss multiple weeks due to an MCL sprain he suffered in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans. With both Grant Calcaterra (back) and rookie second-rounder Eli Stowers (hamstring) also on injured reserve, the Eagles have opted to bring back a familiar face in Ertz, a second-round selection of the franchise in the 2013 NFL Draft. Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins are the only healthy tight ends on the Eagles' 53-man roster, so Ertz could be elevated from the practice squad for Philadelphia's Week 3 road tilt against Chicago on Monday, Sept. 28.

Gadsden is the only healthy tight end on the Chargers' active roster following the team's 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Both David Njoku (fibula) and Charlie Kolar (forearm) are expected to go on injured reserve due to injuries they suffered during Sunday's loss. Given those injuries, as well as Ladd McConkey being limited by a lingering rib injury, Gadsden should operate in an elevated role in the passing game over the coming weeks. Gadsden showed flashes of promise during the 2025 regular season, including a three-game stretch from Weeks 6 to 8, when he caught 19 passes (on 22 targets) for 309 yards and two touchdowns. The Chargers hit the road for Week 3 against the Bills, whose defense has yielded a 14-116-1 line (on 19 targets) to tight ends through two games.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Kolar will go on injured reserve due to a forearm injury he sustained during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Kolar was spotted with his left arm in a sling following Sunday's loss, and the injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on IR. As a result, Kolar will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making him ineligible to play until Week 8 against the Rams. David Njoku (knee) is also set to go on IR, leaving Oronde Gadsden as the lone healthy tight end on the Chargers' 53-man roster for the time being.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Njoku will be placed on injured reserve due to a fibula injury, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Charlie Kolar (forearm) is also expected to land on IR after both he and Njoku sustained injuries during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, with the latter being carted off the field during the second quarter. Njoku is without an official timeline to return, though he won't be eligible to come off IR any earlier than the Chargers' Week 8 matchup with the Rams on Nov. 1. For the time being, second-year pro Oronde Gadsden, who posted a 49-664-3 line on 69 targets across 15 games in 2025, is the only healthy tight end on the Chargers' 53-man roster.

Bates (undisclosed) has received medical clearance to sign and play with a team this season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bates reached an injury settlement with the Browns in late August after reverting to injured reserve. The third-year pro has been given the green light to return to on-field action and should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to the tight-end position, either on the active roster or practice squad. Bates entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and has appeared in 16 regular-season games across the last two years, serving mostly as a blocker on offense and contributor on special teams.
