  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Logs full practice Thursday

    Henry (knee) practiced fully Thursday.

    Henry was listed as limited Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday sets the stage for the Patriots' No. 1 tight end to be available for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans. During the regular season, Henry made his mark by recording a 60-768-7 line on 87 targets in 17 games, and he should remain one of QB Drake Maye's top pass catchers this weekend against a tough Houston defense that held the Steelers to six points in this past Monday's wild-card win.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Set to play Saturday

    Kincaid (knee/calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.

    Kincaid was listed as limited on Bills practice reports Tuesday through Thursday, but he'll be available this weekend, nonetheless. With WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) all on IR, Kincaid figures to be busy versus Denver in the absence of any in-game setbacks. During Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Kincaid logged five targets (tied for second on the team) en route to catching three passes for 28 yards and a TD.

  • Tucker Fisk TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Plays depth role for Bolts

    Fisk caught two of four targets for 19 yards across 10 regular-season games in 2025.

    After catching just two passes across 10 regular-season appearances, Fisk tallied 12 receiving yards on three receptions during the Chargers' wild-card loss to the Patriots. The 26-year-old from Stanford was primarily used as a blocker in his third NFL season, logging a career-high 231 offensive snaps. Having signed a one-year deal with the Chargers last offseason, Fisk is set to become a free agent and will likely play another reserve role in 2026.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Minimal offensive work in 2025

    Conklin caught seven of 10 targets for 101 yards and rushed once for two yards across 13 regular-season games in 2025.

    The 30-year-old from Central Michigan was a healthy scratch in five of the Chargers' final six games this season, including the wild-card loss to the Patriots, as he slid down the depth chart following the emergence of rookie Oronde Gadsden. Conklin posted his lowest receiving yardage total since 2019 but still averaged 14.4 yards per reception, the second-highest mark of his career. Set to become a free agent this offseason, Conklin could find work with a team in need of tight-end depth ahead of the 2026 campaign.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Full listing Wednesday

    Ferguson (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Ferguson missed the past two games due to a hamstring injury, but a full listing Wednesday indicates that the issue is behind him. He thus will be in the mix for snaps and targets among Rams tight ends alongside Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen for Sunday's divisional-round contest at Chicago.

  • 49ers' Brayden Willis: Signs to active roster

    The 49ers elevated Willis from the practice squad to the active roster.

    Willis was active in seven regular-season games for San Francisco in 2025, playing 98 snaps on special teams and 13 on offense. The 26-year-old will likely be a depth option for the 49ers' playoff matchup against the Seahawks, behind Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges as they take over for George Kittle (Achilles)

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Officially placed on IR

    The 49ers placed Kittle (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    This is merely a procedural move after Kittle was diagnosed with a torn right Achilles following this past Sunday's wild-card victory in Philadelphia. Coach Kyle Shanahan announced Tuesday that Kittle was slated for surgery Wednesday, after which point his rehab will start in earnest. Considering the timing of the injury and the expected lengthy recovery timeline, Kittle appears destined to miss a decent portion of the 2026 season. As for the 49ers' current playoff run, Jake Tonges will be the biggest beneficiary as a pass catcher among the remaining tight ends, but Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis also are on hand for snaps and targets.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Limited with knee injury

    Henry (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Henry was not spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports, but it appears he managed to get in limited reps despite having to manage a knee injury. Henry has scored three times in his last four appearances, including a 3-64-1 receiving line managed during New England's wild-card round win over the Chargers. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Logs another limited listing

    Kincaid (knee/calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Kincaid was also listed as limited in Tuesday's walk-through practice, which gives the tight end one more opportunity to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. Assuming Kincaid is available for the contest, he figures to remain a focal point in a Buffalo pass-catching corps that's been thinned-out by injuries to WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee).

  • Hayden Rucci TE | MIA

    Hayden Rucci: Signed to practice squad

    The 49ers signed Rucci to the practice squad Wednesday.

    Rucci had a tryout with the team Tuesday, and the tight end has officially joined the practice squad in anticipation of the 49ers' divisional round matchup with the Seahawks. With starting tight end George Kittle (Achilles) suffering a season-ending injury in last Sunday's playoff win over the Eagles, Rucci will add depth to the position group. The 24-year-old is a strong candidate for elevation to the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Seahawks.
