The Chargers signed Anderson to their practice squad Wednesday.

The 30-year-old has yet to appear in a game this season, but Anderson has 78 career games of NFL experience dating back to 2016. He made 34 of those appearances with the Chargers from 2019 through 2021.

The Panthers signed Matthews to their practice squad Wednesday, Anthony Rizzuti of Panthers Wire reports.

The 31-year-old played 19 special teams snaps in last Thursday night's Week 10 loss to the Bears after his elevation from the Carolina practice squad. He cleared waivers and heads back to the Panthers' practice team.

The Jets designated Yeboah (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

After playing in 19 games for the Jets over the previous two seasons, Yeboah is still looking to make his 2023 debut. This move opens Yeboah's 21-day practice window, and he can be activated anytime within the next three weeks. Yeboah will look to earn a role behind Tyler Conklin, C.J. Uzomah and Jeremy Ruckert.

Wilcox drew one catchless target while playing five of the Bengals' 64 offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.

Cincinnati kept four tight ends active Week 10, and Wilcox ranked a distant fourth in terms of snaps. The Bengals effectively ran a three-man timeshare at the position, with Drew Sample (23 snaps) leading the group in playing time and Irv Smith (21) and Tanner Hudson (20) lagging closely behind him. Due to his status as a core special-teams contributor, Wilcox should continue to remain active on game days, but he doesn't look to be close to moving into a notable role on offense.

Jordan (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

After missing the Texans' last three games tending to a foot injury, Jordan is now missing Houston's first practice of the new week. Unless he's able to return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely be sidelined in Week 11.

Parham didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

The severity of Parham's injury isn't clear, but it's not ideal that he's missing the Chargers' first Week 11 practice, especially with top tight end Gerald Everett (back) also sidelined for practice. Parham played 43 percent of the snaps on offense in the Chargers' 41-38 loss to the Lions this past Sunday, finishing with two catches for 18 yards on two targets.

Smythe (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Smythe now has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders. However, with a 17-168-0 receiving line on 22 targets through nine games this season, Smythe is a factor only in deeper fantasy formats.

Schultz was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Schultz logged 66 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Bengals this past Sunday, but now that the tight end now finds himself on the team's lengthy injury report ahead of a Week 11 game against the Cardinals, his status is worth monitoring. Over his last two outings, Schultz has combined for 14 catches on 17 targets for 201 yards and a touchdown.

Everett (back) didn't practice Wednesday.

The Chargers consider Everett day-to-day following his early exit from Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions. If he isn't available this Sunday at Green Bay, the Chargers likely will turn to some combination of Donald Parham (hip), Stone Smartt and Nick Vannett in a committee at tight end.

Hendershot (ankle) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports, and the tight end was a full participant in practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Hendershot spent the minimum of four weeks on injured reserve before being designated to return. The Indiana product told Gehlken that he feels fresh, although he's not sure if he'll be able to return Sunday against the Panthers, so despite his full participation in practice, he should be considered questionable for the game.
