  • Taysom Hill TE | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Lead runner in Week 16 win

    Hill rushed 12 times for 42 yards, caught four of six targets for 36 yards and threw a 38-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets. He also lost a fumble.

    Hill became the first player in the Super Bowl era to reach 1,000 career yards each in passing, rushing and receiving, as he raised his career total for receiving yards to 1,002. The versatile veteran worked as the Saints' primary runner in the absence of Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) and Devin Neal (hamstring), as Audric Estime and Evan Hull logged five carries apiece. The cherry on top of Hill's history-making performance was a touchdown pass to Chris Olave in the fourth quarter. Unless Kamara returns from a four-game absence in Week 17 against the Titans, Hill will likely continue to lead the New Orleans backfield.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Won't return Sunday

    Adkins (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus the Jaguars, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Adkins is done for the day after sustaining a knee injury in the first half of the game. Evan Engram and Adam Trautman will be left as the team's only healthy tight ends for the remainder of the matchup.

  • Mike Gesicki TE | CIN

    Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Grabs TD in Week 16 win

    Gesicki caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

    The veteran tight end caught the fourth of Joe Burrow's four scores on the day, hauling in a 17-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Gesicki has made just two trips to the end zone in 11 games this season, but they've both come in the last three weeks, a stretch in which he's posted a 10-132-2 line on 12 targets. He'll look to exploit another soft matchup in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Hurts knee vs. Jags in Week 16

    Adkins is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville due to a knee injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Adkins had to hobble to the medical tent after getting hurt in the first half. The third-year tight end recently returned from a five-game absence due to a knee issue, but it's unclear if his injury Sunday is related. Evan Engram and Adam Trautman are Denver's two healthy remaining tight ends.

  • Cam Grandy TE | CIN

    Bengals' Cam Grandy: Exits with collarbone injury

    Grandy has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a left collarbone injury.

    Grandy may have picked up the injury during the second half of Sunday's game. The reserve tight end hauled in his lone target for a one-yard reception before departing.

  • Saints' Foster Moreau: Departs Sunday with ankle injury

    Moreau is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Jets due to an ankle issue, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Moreau was injured when he was tackled after making a catch in the third quarter. The veteran tight end has been working as New Orleans' No. 2 option at the position behind Juwan Johnson. If Moreau can't return Sunday, Taysom Hill and/or Jack Stoll could see more offensive snaps.

  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Inactive Sunday

    Long (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Long will miss his fifth game of the season in Week 16 as a healthy scratch. In nine games played, the 27-year-old has 12 receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Healthy scratch again

    Conklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Conklin will be a healthy scratch for a third straight game. It seems like the tight end's time as a regular starter for the team is over, with rookie Oronde Gadsden taking over as the No. 1 and Will Dissly handling the remaining workload.

  • Saints' Zaire Mitchell-Paden: Not playing Week 16

    Mitchell-Paden (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Mitchell-Paden was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to a knee injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's game. He was a healthy scratch in each of the Saints' three games prior to Week 16, so his absence won't have too much of an impact. New Orleans will roll with five active tight ends in Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, Taysom Hill, Jack Stoll and Moliki Matavao.

  • James Mitchell TE | CAR

    Panthers' James Mitchell: Inactive for Week 16

    Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Mitchell's last chance to suit up was Week 13 against the Rams, but with three tight ends ahead of him on the depth chart opportunties have been scarce. The 26-year-old's best chance at an activation for the remainder of the season will be if Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders or Mitchell Evans need to miss a game with injury.
