Zaire Mitchell-Paden TE | NO
Zaire Mitchell-Paden: Back on practice squad
Mitchell-Paden has been re-signed to Baltimore's practice squad, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
The FAU product will make his return to the practice squad with tight end Qadir Ismail (undisclosed) being placed on the injured list. Mitchell-Paden has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Will Dissly TE | LAC
Chargers' Will Dissly: Logs full practice Friday
Dissly (shoulder) practiced fully Friday.
After being listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, Dissly worked in full a day later, which sets the stage for him to suit up Monday night against the Cardinals. With fellow TE Hayden Hurst (groin) logging another DNP listing Friday, Dissly -- who has recorded a 13-111-0 line on 15 targets in five contests -- could be in line to see a modest uptick in Week 7 opportunities if Hurst ends up unavailable versus Arizona.

Albert Okwuegbunam TE | LV
Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Logs another full practice Friday
Okwuegbunam (abdomen) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Okwuegbunam has now logged three consecutive full practice sessions after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. The 26-year-old tight end still must be activated to the Eagles' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If Okwuegbunam is able to make his 2024 debut in Week 7, he could see increased offensive work with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) sidelined.

Hayden Hurst TE | LAC
Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Remains absent from practice Friday
Hurst (groin) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Hurst is set to log a second straight DNP after exiting in the first half of the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Broncos due to a groin injury. He'll have one more chance to practice in some capacity Saturday, but Hurst is fighting an uphill battle to gain clearance for Monday's game against the Cardinals. If Hurst is unavailable, Eric Tomlinson and Stone Smartt could see additional playing time alongside Will Dissly (shoulder).

Tucker Kraft TE | GB
Packers' Tucker Kraft: Gains clearance to play Week 7
Kraft (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Kraft was limited in all three of Green Bay's practices during the week, but he'll give it a go Sunday. He played through the groin injury Week 6 against the Cardinals but was limited to 13 yards on four targets after racking up 141 yards and three touchdowns over the previous two games.
-
Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Out this week
Goedert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Goedert hasn't practiced since making an early exit from Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He left after just three snaps, with fellow tight end Grant Calcaterra then handling a 92 percent snap share and 88 percent route share while catching each of his four targets for 67 yards. The potential to repeat that workload makes Calcaterra a reasonable lineup option for deep leagues and DFS.

Tyler Conklin TE | DET
Jets' Tyler Conklin: Questionable despite full practice
Conklin (hip) practiced fully Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin upgraded to full participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions, but that wasn't enough to clear his status for Week 7. He played 73 percent of offensive snaps this past Monday against the Bills while playing through the hip injury, so Conklin seems more likely than not to give it a go Sunday night.

Evan Engram TE | DEN
Jaguars' Evan Engram: Cleared to play Week 7
Engram (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Engram had a productive return from a four-week absence due to a hamstring injury in Jacksonville's 35-16 loss to the Bears this past Sunday, logging 10 catches for 102 yards. He was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday by the same injury but has been cleared for action Sunday after a full session Friday, sparing Engram's fantasy managers the headache of getting up early to check on his status before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff at Wembley Stadium in England.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Ready for Week 7
Kincaid (collarbone) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
The Bills placed a cap on Kincaid's reps at Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, but the second-year pro was able to handle a full allotment to wrap up Week 7 prep and thus has been cleared to suit up this weekend. He has yet to have a breakout performance through six games on the campaign, with this past Monday's output versus the Jets marking season highs in catches (six), receiving yards (51) and targets (seven).

T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN
Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Listed as questionable
Hockenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Hockenson returned to practice two weeks ago on Oct. 4, and the Vikings now will need to activate him from the reserve/PUP list by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET if he's going to play this Sunday. Fantasy managers thus should have a decision on his availability at least 21 hours before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, although Hockenson won't be the same lineup lock he was in past years for what would be his first game back from ACL and MCL tears. He said Thursday that he still wasn't sure if he'd play this weekend, according to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
