  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Iffy for Thursday

    Allen (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Allen was a limited participant in practice Wednesday after being listed as a non-participant the first two days of the week, though Los Angeles didn't practice Monday and held a walk-through session Tuesday. His playing time has trended down since logging 81 percent of Los Angeles' offensive snaps Week 10, and he hasn't caught a pass in four straight games. If Allen misses Thursday's matchup, Hunter Long could be in line for more work on offense.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Limited in return to practice

    Musgrave (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    With his return to on-field work, Musgrave's 21-day window in which to be evaluated and potentially activated from injured reserve has opened up. It's unclear if he has any chance to suit up Sunday at Seattle, but the Packers could make a ruling on his upcoming availability Friday (via their final Week 15 injury report) or Saturday (the deadline for him to be activated from IR this week). If he's cleared to play Sunday, Musgrave still would be the second option at tight end behind Tucker Kraft.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Not returning Thursday

    Higbee (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    For a second week in a row, Higbee was listed as a full participant on all three Rams injury reports, but the team isn't quite ready to clear him for his first game action since Jan. 14, when he suffered ACL and MCL tears in his right knee in a playoff loss at Detroit. Los Angeles has one week remaining to activate Higbee from the reserve/PUP list, or else he'll miss the entire 2024 campaign. In the meantime, Colby Parkinson, Hunter Long and Davis Allen (shoulder) will continue to serve as the Rams' tight ends.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Still dealing with foot issue

    Johnson practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a foot injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    With Taysom Hill out for the season due to a torn ACL, Johnson and Foster Moreau handled the reps at tight end in this past Sunday's win over the Giants, with both players playing 49 of 68 offensive snaps. Both got in the act as pass catchers, with Johnson hauling in four of five targets for 50 yards and one touchdown and Moreau reeling in both targets for 40 yards. Johnson also tended to a foot injury last week, so there's a decent chance he's cleared for this coming Sunday's contest against the Commanders by week's end even if he remains limited in the Saints' final two practices of the week.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Tending to knee issue

    McBride practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a knee injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Since the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, McBride has received double-digit targets in each of the team's three games, accruing a 31-299-0 line on 41 targets during that stretch. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to monitor as Arizona prepares for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

  • Josiah Deguara TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Dealing with shoulder issue

    Deguara (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    The 2020 third-round pick from Cincinnati played 13 total snaps (three offensive and 10 on special teams) without recording any stats in Jacksonville's Week 14 win over the Titans, seemingly sustaining a shoulder injury in the process. If Deguara is sidelined for the Jags' Week 15 matchup against the Jets, it likely wouldn't affect their offensive gameplan, as he's caught just two passes in 11 games this season.

  • Quintin Morris TE | BUF

    Bills' Quintin Morris: Full go for Wednesday

    Morris (shoulder/groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

    Despite practicing in full Friday, Morris was sidelined for the Bills' Week 14 loss to the Rams due to shoulder and groin injuries. However, Wednesday's estimated full practice suggests that he's already recovered from the issues. Expect the Bowling Green product to serve as Buffalo's No. 3 tight end in a Week 15 matchup against the Lions, playing behind Dalton Kincaid (knee) and Dawson Knox.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Listed as full participant

    Kincaid (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

    The decision to list Kincaid as a full participant -- even in a low-intensity practice -- suggests he's expected to return from a three-game absence for Sunday's game in Detroit. He'll likely be back in his regular role as the starting tight end and top pass catcher at the position, but it might come with fewer targets than he saw earlier this season. The Bills' wideout group has come on strong recently and will get Keon Coleman back from a wrist injury that has kept him out for the past four games.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Back at practice Wednesday

    Musgrave (ankle) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Musgrave had ankle surgery and was placed on injured reserve Oct. 11 as a result, but his return to the practice field Wednesday opens up a 21-day window for Green Bay to get him back in the active roster. Even before suffering the injury, Musgrave surpassed a 50 percent snap share just one time over the first four games of the season and compiled a 5-22-0 receiving line on seven targets during that span. Whenever he's able to play again, Musgrave will be second fiddle to Tucker Kraft among Packers tight ends.

  • Evan Engram TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Evan Engram: Not practicing Wednesday

    Head coach Doug Pederson said Engram won't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

    While Engram will be a spectator for the Jaguars' first practice session of the week, Pederson expects the tight end to play Sunday against the Jets. Engram -- who caught four of his six targets for 33 yards in a Week 14 win over the Titans -- has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but unless he's a full participant by Friday, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.
