Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Kincaid was expected to take on a larger role in Buffalo's passing game after the team traded away top receiver Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but the tight end was quiet to begin his second NFL season. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox also got two targets, catching one for 23 yards. Buffalo had 33 running plays compared to just 23 throws for Josh Allen, so a lack of volume could be a concern for Kincaid moving forward if he continues to split opportunities with Knox and the Bills keep calling a run-heavy offense. The 2023 first-round draft pick will look to bounce back Thursday in Miami.

McBride caught five of nine targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills.

McBride led the Cardinals in targets but delivered a middling performance in the competitive Week 1 loss. Arizona's entire passing game struggled, with no player posting more than 44 receiving yards. The 24-year-old tight end had more than 30 yards in each of his last eight games last season, so McBride's unlikely to remain this quiet in Week 2 against the Rams.

Moreau won't return to Sunday's game versus the Panthers due to a head injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Moreau made a visit to the sideline tent in the fourth quarter before the Saints made a ruling on his status. He'll thus finish Week 1 with four catches (on four targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown. His target count surprisingly was ahead of fellow TEs Juwan Johnson (three) and Taysom Hill (two), but assuming he entered the concussion protocol, Moreau will need to complete its five steps in order to be cleared for his next game action.

Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Culp, a seventh-round pick in the 2024 Draft, is listed as the fourth and last tight end on Tampa Bay's depth chart. The Washington product caught 16 passes for 208 yards during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Krull (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks.

The reserve tight end is a clear No. 3 option behind Adam Trautman and Greg Dulcich, rendering his status as a healthy scratch in Week 1 unsurprising.

Swinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Swinson was just signed off the Packers' practice squad less than a week ago, so it's not surprising that he won't be playing in Week 1 for Carolina. Rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders figures to lead the Panthers in snaps at tight end Sunday with Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) also out.

Reiman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Reiman was tagged as questionable for Sunday's game after logging three consecutive limited practice sessions this week, but he is good to go for the regular-season opener. The rookie third-round pick will serve in a depth capacity at tight end behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins.

Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Houston.

With Mallory inactive and Jelani Woods out for the season with a toe injury, Indy's tight-end group has been narrowed to Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree. Mallory could still enter the mix at some point this season.

Jenkins reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jenkins was elevated from the practice squad for Friday's game against the Packers to provide depth at tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. Jenkins ended up playing 10 snaps (three on offense, seven on special teams), but did not accrue a catch. He can be brought up by the Eagles from the practice squad two more times this season before he would have to be signed to the active roster.

The Chargers signed Tomlinson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The move corresponds with DJ Chark (hip) being placed on injured reserve. Tomlinson caught on with the Chargers' practice squad after failing to make the Colts' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. The 11-year veteran will serve as the fourth tight end on the Chargers' depth chart behind Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst and Stone Smartt.
