Engram caught five of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans.

Engram actually led the Jaguars in targets but posted another modest stat line. He leads the team with 64 catches and is just two targets shy of Christian Kirk's team lead with 82, but Engram has a pedestrian 524 receiving yards and has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 13 home game against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

Johnson caught four of seven targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

Johnson logged the Saints' second-most targets behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (nine), even though the latter was forced out during the third quarter with a concussion and did not return for the remainder of the game. Wideout Rashid Shaheed also sustained a thigh injury that forced him to exit during the second quarter. With Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, it appears that the 6-foot-3 tight end was the next-best option in New Orleans' pass-catching depth chart. Johnson also recorded season highs in both targets and receiving yards, though he still finished with fewer receiving yards than Olave (114), versatile tight end Taysom Hill (55) and running back Alvin Kamara (50). Should Olave and Shaheed miss time as a result of their injuries, then Johnson's production could benefit moving forward.

Tremble (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Titans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tremble started at tight end with Hayden Hurst (concussion) out for the game, and the former had one catch for seven yards before leaving Sunday's contest.

Higbee is listed as active Sunday at Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Initially, the Rams included Higbee on their list of Week 12 inactives, but there was a mistake in submitting them, and instead defensive end Earnest Brown will be a healthy scratch. Higbee thus will handle his customary role as the team's top tight end, which so far has yielded a cumulative 27-303-0 line on 46 targets in 10 games while logging at least 86 percent of the offensive snaps on a weekly basis.

FitzPatrick (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Saints, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

FitzPatrick will be sidelined for Week 12 after appearing in each of the last three games the Falcons have played. The second-year pro has really only contributed on special teams this season, seeing just seven snaps on offense without a target. His next opportunity to take the field will be Week 13 against the Jets.

Graham (coach's decision) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Falcons, John Hendrix of Saints News reports.

This will mark Graham's fourth straight game on the sidelines and third as a healthy scratch. The veteran tight end's next opportunity to see the field will come in one week versus the Lions.

Everett (chest) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Everett, who is officially listed as questionable, appears in line to play Sunday night. The same is true for wideout Jalen Guyton (groin), though Schefter notes both players will need to avoid any pregame setbacks before being cleared. In any case, official word on Everett's availability will come when the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Ravens placed Andrews (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Andrews cracked his left fibula and injured a ligament in his left ankle during last Thursday's win over the Bengals and underwent surgery earlier this week. Though that made his move to IR inevitable, coach John Harbaugh indicated that there is "an outside chance" the star tight end could return before the end of the season, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. With Andrews out for the foreseeable future, Isaiah Likely will get an opportunity to take on a significant role in Baltimore's offense.

The Falcons elevated Hesse to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Hesse was restored to the Falcons' practice squad Monday after being placed on the injured list Oct. 3 with an undisclosed injury. His one appearance came in the season opener, when he played 14 snaps and recorded one solo tackle against the Panthers.

The Eagles elevated Togiai to the active roster Saturday.

Togiai was cut from the Raiders' practice squad Oct. 24 after landing on the practice squad injured list with an undisclosed issue. He joined the Eagles' taxi squad Nov. 14 and could make his 2023 debut Sunday against the Bills, as fellow tight ends Dallas Goedert (forearm) and Grant Calcaterra (ankle) have been ruled out for the game.
