KIttle (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

After missing a Week 17 win against the Bears due to a mid-to-low-ankle sprain, Kittle was back in action this past Saturday against the Seahawks, logging 95 percent of the snaps on his way to five catches (on seven targets) for 29 yards. He continues to deal with the injury in the wake of that loss, but he at least will have two more opportunities to log a full practice this week before the 49ers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's wild-card game at Philadelphia.

Calcaterra (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Calcaterra made an early exit from Sunday's 24-17 loss to Washington on account of knee and ankle injuries. He's now listed with just an ankle injury, and it's enough to keep him out of practice, whereas starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was a limited participant Wednesday. Goedert didn't practice or play last week, but he now appears on track to return for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Goedert (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Goedert didn't take part in Week 18 prep due to a knee injury and was sidelined for this past Sunday's loss to the Commanders. Now that he's back on the practice field, he at least has made some progress in his recovery, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice this week before the Eagles potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.

The Broncos signed Lewis to the practice squad Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Lewis was waived after the Broncos' Week 18 victory over the Chargers that secured the AFC's top seed. The tight end is now back on the practice squad with a fresh set of active roster elevations that can be used for the team's three potential playoff games. Lewis played in five games during the regular season, where he logged 81 offensive snaps as a supplemental blocker.

Smartt caught seven of nine targets for 52 yards while dressing for 15 games in the 2025 season.

Smartt played mostly on special teams and drew at least one target in only three of his 15 appearances for the Jets. He spent the previous three seasons with the Chargers and has just one touchdown catch in 53 regular-season NFL games. The 27-year-old Smartt's set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Ruckert caught 23 of 29 targets for 179 yards and one touchdown while playing in all 17 games in 2025.

Ruckert set career highs in catches, receiving yards and targets in his fourth NFL season, and the 2022 third-round draft pick scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 against the Bills. After signing a two-year, $10 million contract extension with his hometown team in December, the Lindenhurst, New York native is poised to retain the second spot on the Jets' tight end depth chart behind 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor (neck) in 2026.

The Chargers designated Fisk (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Fisk has been on IR with an ankle injury since Dec 8. The tight end's return would add depth to a Chargers corps that consists of Oronde Gadsden, Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin. Fisk played in 10 games this year, during which he recorded two receptions for 19 yards on two targets. The 26-year-old will have three chances this week to show sufficient practice participation and prove he is ready to suit up for Sunday's playoff game against the Patriots.

The Seahawks announced Wednesday that Arroyo (knee) has been designated to return to practice from IR, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Arroyo will have a 21-day window wherein he can practice without counting against the active roster. If deemed healthy, the rookie second-round pick can be activated to the 53-man roster and return to action at any point in that span. Seattle has secured a bye in the first week of the NFC playoffs, meaning Arroyo's next chance to play will come in the divisional round.

The Commanders signed Cager to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Similar to January of last year, Cager has signed a deal that will allow him to stick with the Commanders during the offseason. The tight end logged just one offensive snap for the team this year in their Week 16 loss to the Eagles.

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that the injury Hill (shoulder) sustained Week 18 is "just an AC," Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Hill was forced out of New Orleans' loss to the Falcons in Week 18 due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's just managing an AC joint sprain, and not the type of issue that would significantly impede his offseason recovery. More importantly, it remains unclear whether the 36-year-old veteran intends to continue his playing career for another season. Hill is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com in December that the decision on whether or not to retire will be made "down the road."
