Albert Okwuegbunam TE | LV
Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Moved to IR
The Eagles placed Okwuegbunam (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Okwuegbunam hasn't played since Week 13, though before this week his absences were due to coach's decision. He sprung up on Philadelphia's injury report Friday due to a hamstring injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the regular season and into the playoffs. Okwuegbunam won't be eligible to return to action unless the Eagles advance to the NFC Championship Game.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: On Commissioner Exempt List
Ogletree has been placed on the NFL's Commissioner Exempt List, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Josh Whyle TE | GB
Titans' Josh Whyle: Shifts to IR
The Titans placed Whyle (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Whyle was originally listed as questionable for the Titans' Week 17 affair after sustaining a knee injury during Friday's practice, but it seems as if the issue is more serious than the team originally thought. The 24-year-old will miss the remainder of Tennessee's season, making way for Trevon Wesco and Kevin Rader to possibly see more work as reserve tight end options.

Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Out Week 17
Okwuegbunam (hamstring) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
Okwuegbunam originally received a questionable designation due to a hamstring issue, but Philadelphia will ultimately err on the side of caution. The depth tight end's next opportunity to suit up will come in the regular-season finale versus the Giants.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Arrested Friday
Ogletree was arrested Friday in Hendricks County, Indiana on allegations of domestic violence, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
Per the report, Ogletree was charged with a pair of level six felonies (domestic violence committed in the presence of a child less than 16 years old and domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury) stemming from an incident Tuesday. In a statement released Friday, the Colts noted that they are aware of the allegations involving the tight end and "are in the process of gathering more information."

John Samuel Shenker TE | LV
John Samuel Shenker: Lands with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Shenker to their practice squad Friday.
Shenker was just cut from Arizona's practice squad earlier in the week. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL game and will be organizational depth for the Raiders.

Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Broncos' Greg Dulcich: Won't play Week 17
Dulcich (hamstring/foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Dulcich remains on injured reserve. The second-year tight end hasn't played since Week 6 and has been limited to just two games this season, getting hurt in both of them. It's been a nightmarish start to Dulcich's career, as he has just three catches for 25 yards in 2023. Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull will continue to soak up Denver's tight end snaps.

Josh Whyle TE | GB
Titans' Josh Whyle: Nursing knee injury
Whyle (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The 24-year-old was a late addition to the Titans' injury report, as he popped up as a limited participant in Friday's practice with a knee issue. If Whyle is unable to suit up in Week 17, expect Trevon Wesco to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 tight end.

Albert Okwuegbunam TE | LV
Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Gets questionable tag
Okwuegbunam (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
The 25-year-old tight end was a late addition to the Eagles' injury report, as he popped up as a limited participant in Friday's practice due to a hamstring issue. Even if Okwuegbunam is ready to play Sunday, there's still a chance he's inactive, as he's been a healthy scratch each of the last three weeks.

Nick Vannett TE | LAR
Chargers' Nick Vannett: Could play Week 17
Vannett (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
The veteran tight end was able to play through his back issue in Week 16, and after two limited sessions to begin the Chargers' week of practice, he has a shot to suit up Sunday. If Vannett is unable to play in Week 17, expect Donald Parham to see increased opportunities as a reserve option in Los Angeles' TE room.
