  • Lucas Krull TE | DEN

    Broncos' Lucas Krull: Cleared from injury

    Krull (toe) returned to practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Krull exited the Broncos' Sunday exhibition game against the Colts early with the injury. His quick return will help keep him firmly in the competition for the team's No. 3 tight end spot behind Adam Trautman and Greg Dulcich.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Uninjured in car accident

    The Ravens announced that Andrews was involved in a car accident Wednesday and did not sustain any apparent injuries.

    Andrews joined team meetings Wednesday morning following the accident. The standout tight end was initially scheduled for a non-practice day Wednesday, and he's expected to return the field "in the coming days." Andrews looks to have emerged from a potentially dangerous situation without serious aftereffects, and while the Ravens may opt for caution rather than rushing him back to practice, the team doesn't seem to have any true concern about his health or upcoming availability. Baltimore will take on the Falcons at home in a preseason matchup Saturday.

  • Lawrence Cager TE | WAS

    Giants' Lawrence Cager: Now nursing groin injury

    Cager (groin) did not practice Tuesday due to a groin injury, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Cager was sidelined due to a hamstring injury to begin training camp, and upon returning to practice Sunday he quickly suffered a groin issue. The 26-year-old is competing for a depth role at tight end, but he's had difficult staying on the field so far. Cager's injury could keep him out of Saturday's preseason contest on the road against Houston.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Dealing with minor injury

    Henry will miss practice Tuesday with an unspecified injury that isn't expected to be serious, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    The issue reportedly came up in Sunday's practice, with Henry then sitting out Monday and now set to miss at least one more session. He was rested for the preseason opener and now seems unlikely to play in Thursday's exhibition against the Eagles, but it doesn't sound like the Patriots are too worried about the tight end's availability for Week 1.

  • Payne Durham TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Two grabs in preseason opener

    Durham secured both targets for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night.

    The second-year tight end drew the start with Cade Otton sitting out with the rest of the Buccaneers' frontline skill-position players. Durham finished third in receiving yards on the night for Tampa Bay, with the highlight of his performance a 16-yard grab. Durham appears to have a firm grip on the No. 2 tight end job, but it was nevertheless encouraging to see him turn in a solid performance in his first in-game opportunity within new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's scheme.

  • Rams' Miller Forristall: Scores TD in limited action

    Forristall caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 13-12 preseason victory against the Cowboys.

    While still a long shot to make the roster with Tyler Higbee (knee), Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Hunter Long all likely to make the team, Forristall made the most of his opportunity by securing a game-winning six-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett. Forristall led the Rams' tight ends with 24 snaps, with Allen (23) and Long (16) also seeing a small amount of action. Nikola Kalinic saw just eight snaps on the day and may serve as the primary competition for Forristall to make the final 53-man roster while Higbee recovers from a torn MCL and ACL.

  • Lawrence Cager TE | WAS

    Giants' Lawrence Cager: Suffers lower body injury

    Cager suffered a lower-body injury Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Cager was injured during practice, although the severity of the injury is currently unknown. Once healthy, the 26-year-old will continue to compete for a backup tight end spot.

  • Mike Gesicki TE | CIN

    Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Plays in preseason loss

    Gesicki (undisclosed) played eight offensive snaps during Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    Gesicki missed some practice reps last week due to tightness, but he was cleared to suit up for a handful of plays during Cincinnati's preseason opener. He didn't record any stats during the exhibition matchup, but that means little in such a small sample. Gesicki is competing to solidify himself as the clear top pass-catching option in Cincinnati's tight end room, and his next chance to showcase his talents in preseason action will come Saturday on the road against Chicago.

  • Greg Dulcich TE | MIA

    Broncos' Greg Dulcich: Minimal involvement against Colts

    Dulcich caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.

    Dulcich played just 10 offensive snaps in the contest, limiting his potential for much production. With that said, the third-year tight end remains the favorite to be the Broncos' top pass-catching option at the position in 2024, despite being listed at No. 2 on the depth chart behind Adam Trautman. According to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said it's been "fantastic" to have Dulcich healthy in training camp, adding that "it's hard for people to cover him" and that the 24-year-old is "very explosive." With the coaching staff excited for Dulcich's potential this season, he'll look to take a step forward as a true threat in the Broncos' passing attack.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Starts exhibition opener

    Musgrave started and played seven snaps in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.

    Musgrave did not draw a target in Saturday's contest, but he also had very few opportunities to do so. Musgrave and fellow second-year player Tucker Kraft figure to handle the bulk of the tight end duties for Green Bay, but Kraft is still getting up to speed after sustaining an offseason pectoral injury, so Musgrave has the upper hand at the moment.
