Hendershot (ankle) was a full participant in Dallas' practice Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Hendershot has been on injured reserve since October but is now closer to making his return. The 24-year-old, who was designated to return from IR on Nov. 15, has a chance to be activated in time to play Thursday versus the Seahawks. Over three games this season, Hendershot has caught one of his two targets for just three yards.

Durham brought in his only target for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

The rookie tight end was a healthy scratch for the first four games of his career before recording one catch for eight yards on three targets over his first five games with active status. However, after posting a 2-13-0 line on a pair of targets Week 11 against the 49ers, Durham was able to get back on the stat sheet again Sunday while logging 12 snaps for the second straight contest. Despite the very modest surge in production, Durham remains a distant No. 2 pass-catching option at tight end for the Bucs behind Cade Otton.

The Eagles reverted Togiai to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Togiai received his first elevation of the season ahead of Sunday's Week 12 win over Buffalo and logged seven offensive snaps along with 12 special-teams snaps without recording any stats. His presence was needed with fellow tight ends Dallas Goedert (forearm) and Grant Calcaterra (ankle) unable to play, though Togiai still finished third among the team's TEs in snaps behind Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam. Goedert is trying to return to action this Sunday against San Francisco, which would lessen the likelihood of Togiai being elevated again.

Dissly (hip) did not participate in the Seahawks' first practice session of the week Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Dissly logged 16 offensive snaps and 13 special-teams snaps against the 49ers on Thanksgiving, and he may have hurt his hip in that contest. Seattle plays Dallas on Thursday Night Football this week, so Dissly will probably need to get back on the practice field in the next two days in order to have a chance of suiting up for that clash. Both Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson, who have been sharing tight-end snaps with Dissly this season, would stand to see a bit of an increased workload Thursday if Dissly can't suit up.

Kampmoyer reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.

Kampmoyer played eight snaps on special teams and one offense Sunday night against the Ravens but was unable to register any stats. This was just the first the 25-year-old has played this season, and he is still eligible to be elevated two more times.

Hesse reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

Hesse appeared in a game for the first time since recovering from an undisclosed injury when he suited up versus the Saints in Week 12. The 28-year-old played 23 offensive snaps, the second most of any tight end on the team, but he didn't record any stats.

Thomas caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

Thomas' reception was just his third this season and his first since Week 5. After an extended absence due to a calf injury, the veteran has returned for the past two games but holds most of his value as a blocker.

Stoll was targeted twice in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills, catching one pass for 14 yards.

Stoll continues to play a larger role in the absence of Dallas Goedert (forearm), but it's far from a fantasy-relevant one. In seven games without Goedert over the last two seasons, Stoll has averaged 1.3 catches per game, which is a small number but still more than four times as high as his 0.3 catches per game when Goedert is on the field. Goedert has a chance to return Week 13 against the 49ers, which would push Stoll even further from fantasy players' thoughts.

Smythe secured one of three targets for 10 yards during Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.

Smythe has logged three consecutive games with three targets in each, but he's totaled just 55 receiving yards in that span. The starting tight end remains effectively off the fantasy radar except in deeper formats. The Dolphins will take on the Commanders on the road Week 13.

Alie-Cox had one reception for 30 yards on his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Alie-Cox broke wide open off a run fake on fourth down for a key first down late in the game. It was a rare showing in the passing game for Alie-Cox, who has just three receptions in his last six games. It's not likely to start a trend, as he's almost exclusively become a blocking tight end.
