Strange (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Strange has missed the Jaguars' last three games due to a foot issue, and he's now limited to begin the team's new week of practice. He'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Freiermuth (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official sitereports.

Freiermuth was deemed a limited participant Tuesday, but the tight end's return to a full activity a day later sets the stage for him to be available for Saturday's game against the Bengals. He's turned in three-catch efforts in each of his last three outings, and apart from a nine-reception outburst Week 12, he hasn't exceeded three catches in any of his nine appearances this season.

Kincaid (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Kincaid also drew a limited tag on the Bills' estimated practice report for Tuesday, when the team held a walkthrough. His reps were capped throughout last week as well, but Kincaid entered the weekend without a designation and played 32 snaps without recording a catch in the Bills' 31-10 win over Dallas. While he's unlikely to sit out Saturday against the Chargers, Kincaid may be playing at less than full health.

Thomas (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Thomas sat out of Sunday's win versus the Falcons due to an ankle injury, but he was able to manage a limited practice to begin the new week. He'll still likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Tremble was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

His ability to practice in any capacity early in the week suggests Tremble isn't in real danger of missing Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Tremble has taken on a larger role in terms of snaps and routes with fellow tight end Hayden Hurst (concussion) having missed each of the past five games, but the Notre Dame product still hasn't seen more than three targets in any game this season.

Russell played one of the Seahawks' 61 snaps on offense in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.

The undrafted rookie tight end out of Colorado has seen action in 12 games this season, but he's yet to draw a target while seeing nearly all of his snaps on special teams. He'll likely need the Seahawks to be without at least two of Noah Fant, Colby Parkinson and Will Dissly in a given week before he can take on even a modest role on offense.

Horsted played all 23 of his snaps on special teams in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers.

Though the Raiders raced out to a 42-0 halftime lead, Horsted didn't end up seeing any action on offense even while several other backup players picked up snaps amid the blowout win. Horsted has logged just eight snaps on offense through the first 15 weeks of the season, recording one catch for four yards on one target.

Henry (knee) wasn't on the field for Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Henry sustained a knee injury in this past Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chiefs, leaving the game after compiling 66 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. The tight end has scored in both of his last two games, so the Patriots would be without a key offensive player if he's unable to play Sunday against the Broncos. Henry could still bolster his chances of playing this weekend by returning to practice Thursday or Friday.

Bell played 10 of 65 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.

Bell has suited up in each of the Chiefs' first 14 games of the season, but since hauling in a short touchdown reception in Week 1 when Travis Kelce was sidelined with a knee injury, the 32-year-old tight end has barely made a ripple in the box score. All together, Bell has put together a 3-19-1 receiving line on six targets this season while typically seeing only a handful of snaps behind Kelce and Noah Gray in any given week.

Saubert played all 25 of his snaps on special teams in the Texans' 19-16 overtime win over the Titans.

With Dalton Schultz (hamstring) returning to action after a two-game absence, Saubert dropped to third on the depth chart at tight end and saw his role on offense completely disappear. Even when he had been factoring into the mix on offense in recent weeks, Saubert recorded just one catch for five yards over 77 total snaps while serving mostly as a blocker during his time on the field.
