Parkinson (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Parkinson continues to deal with the shoulder injury he originally sustained in Week 3 against Denver. After missing Week 4, the tight end was able to return for last Monday night's overtime loss to the Bills, logging 64.6 percent of the offensive snaps. He secured just one pass for three yards on two targets and isn't in the fantasy football conversation, with Tyler Higbee dominating the pass-game looks.

Johnson (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

A neck injury limited Johnson's practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a DNP for Friday's session before being subsequently ruled out for Sunday's contest. In his absence, Chris Manhertz and Thomas Fidone are candidates to step into the TE2 role behind Isaiah Likely. Johnson's next chance to play is Week 7 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Warren (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after being added to the practice report Friday as a limited participant.

Warren dealt with a groin injury in August, so this could be a recurrence rather than a new issue. Kevin Bowen notes that Warren grimaced after a red-zone rep at Friday's practice, but there hasn't been any comment from team or player about what happened and whether the tight end is expected to play Sunday. The only good news for Warren's fantasy managers is that the Colts and Titans are scheduled for an early afternoon kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Sadiq (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after logging a full practice Friday.

Sadiq is progressing through the concussion protocol and likely just needs clearance from a neurologist. The Jets listed him as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET in Foxborough.

Waller (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Waller should be fine to handle his usual role after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday, coming out of a Week 5 bye.

Sadiq (concussion) is trending toward playing in Sunday's game against the Patriots, according to Around The NFL.

After limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Sadiq is upgrading to full participation Friday. If he clears the concussion protocol, he would be in line to resume his role in the Jets' tight end rotation Sunday against New England.

Arroyo (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Thursday's game against Denver.

Arroyo suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter while attempting to recover a fumble. He was escorted to the locker room, and it appears he won't be back on the field again in Week 6.

Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Parkinson was able to play through his shoulder injury in Week 5 versus the Bills, but it still appears to be bothering him as Sunday's game versus the Cardinals approaches. He'll now look to repeat what he did a week ago and upgrade to full participation at practice Friday and avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bowers (knee) practiced fully Thursday. Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Bowers followed the same practice regimen last week, going from limited Wednesday to uncapped one day later. He appears to be in a maintenance program after missing the first two games of the season due to a meniscus trim, which so far has yielded a massive 24-312-3 line on 35 targets in his three appearances in 2026.

Boerkircher (back) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Boerkircher popped up on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday with a back issue, and his availability for Week 6 now appears to be in jeopardy. He'll probably need to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
