Kincaid (chest) is no longer in a red non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

With Kincaid having been listed as a limited participant Thursday while dealing with a chest injury, shedding the non-contact jersey Friday is a positive sign for his practice progression and should put the tight end in the clear for Monday night's date with a tough Vikings defense.

Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Ferguson (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's game at Washington, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Since the Rams designated Ferguson for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he's managed a pair of limited practices as he works his way back from an ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3 at Denver. He seems destined to be listed as questionable for Week 9 action, and then the team must activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon for him to have a chance to suit up Sunday.

Cuevas didn't garner a target in Thursday night's 33-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Cuevas split time with nine snaps on both offense and special teams. This game marked the fourth time of the season that the rookie had targets. Prior to Thursday night, the 23-year-old saw multiple targets in four straight games. He will likely see a similar role as the season continues.

Fannin (groin) will play Sunday against the Saints, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Todd Monken said Fannin is "a little sore" but will be out there against New Orleans. On paper, it's a great spot for Fannin, but playing at less than 100 percent knocks him down a peg as a backend TE1 for fantasy.

Henry (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

After opening the week with back-to-back missed practices, Henry's designation leaves the door open for him to play heading into Sunday. If he can't play, New England would need to lean more heavily on rookie Eli Raridon at tight end against Green Bay.

Boerkircher hauled in two of three targets for 61 yards in Thursday night's 33-10 win over Baltimore.

Boerkircher was tied with Parker Washington for the second-most receiving yards on the team with 61. This game marks the fourth time this season that the rookie has surpassed 30 snaps on offense. Boerkircher has made a name for himself as Jacksonville's No. 2 option at tight end behind Brenton Strange.

Fannin (groin) is practicing Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

After being listed as a limited participant Thursday, Fannin appears to be back on the field ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. His Friday activity is a positive sign for his availability, but it doesn't confirm whether he'll carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Strange caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Thursday night's 33-10 win over the Ravens.

The Jaguars keep blowing teams out and aren't being pushed on offense, which is keeping Trevor Lawrence's pass volume low. Strange is still making the most of his few opportunities, totaling four grabs for 77 yards on four targets over the last two weeks, games in which the Jaguars have combined to outscore their opponents 75-17. Strange is a TE1 for fantasy and gets a date with the Titans in nine days.

Henry (foot) is present for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Henry's presence for Friday's session is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. The Patriots' upcoming injury report will reveal both the tight end's official participation level, as well as his Week 9 game status.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer hopes that Ferguson (ankle) will be "back on the field" Friday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Ferguson did not get any work in Wednesday or Thursday due to the ankle injury he sustained in Week 8, but it appears there is a chance he could practice in some capacity Friday. The Cowboys will reveal his official status for Week 9 at some point following the conclusion of Friday's session.
