Texans' Brevin Jordan: Won't play versus Cincinnati
Jordan (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bengals.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Seahawks' Colby Parkinson: Questionable to face Washington
Parkinson (biceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
After failing to practice Wednesday, Parkinson returned to a limited practice Thursday. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, head coach Pete Carroll suggested that Parkinson is likely to play this weekend, though confirmation on the tight end's status won't arrive until Seattle releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. While playing nearly half the offensive snaps for Seattle this season, Parkinson has recorded a 12-138-0 receiving line on 18 targets.

Geoff Swaim TE | CLE
Cardinals' Geoff Swaim: Questionable for Sunday vs. Falcons
Swaim (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Swaim was able to return to practice in a limited capacity Friday after missing Thursday's session, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 10. If he can't play, Blake Whiteheart could see some blocking reps at tight end Sunday.

David Njoku TE | LAC
Browns' David Njoku: Will play against Baltimore
Njoku (knee) has no injury designation and is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Njoku made progress all week, going from DNP Wednesday to limited Thursday and full Friday. He should be all systems go for Sunday, but Njoku draws a tough matchup against a Ravens defense surrendering the second-fewest fantasy points and third-fewest yards to tight ends.

T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN
Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Questionable for Week 10
Hockenson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Hockenson played through the injury after suffering it in Sunday's 31-28 win over Atlanta, finishing with seven catches for 69 yards while playing 85 percent of the available offensive snaps. He seems to have come out of the game with significant soreness but has a shot to avoid any absences after managing limited practice participation throughout the week. Fantasy managers will be glad to hear the Vikings and Saints have an early kickoff (1 ET) given that WRs Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and K.J. Osborn (concussion) also are listed as questionable.

Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: No injury designation
Pitts missed Friday's practice for personal reasons but doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Pitts is temporarily away from the team for the birth of his son. It won't impact his availability for Sunday, and if he scores his second TD of the season it's a safe bet the celebration will include some reference to the newborn baby.

Cole Kmet TE | CHI
Bears' Cole Kmet: Five grabs in Week 10 win
Kmet brought in five of seven targets for 45 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Bears' 16-13 win over the Panthers on Thursday night.
Four days after posting a two-touchdown tally in Week 9, Kmet didn't turn in quite as productive a performance but still tied DJ Moore for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in both receiving yards and targets. Kmet now has at least five catches in three consecutive contests and seemingly has a good chance of getting Justin Fields (thumb) back as his quarterback for a Week 11 divisional road showdown against the Lions on Nov. 19.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Seahawks' Colby Parkinson: Practices Thursday
Parkinson (biceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The tight end will try to get another practice in Friday so he can play Sunday against the Commanders. Parkinson has been sharing snaps with Noah Fant and Will Dissly in the past four games. The fourth-year pro has 12 catches for 138 yards this season.

David Njoku TE | LAC
Browns' David Njoku: Officially limited Thursday
Njoku (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
It puts Njoku on track to play Sunday against the Ravens. Njoku has been on a bit of a heater of late, scoring a touchdown in back-to-back games after going scoreless over the first six contests.

Andrew Ogletree TE | IND
Colts' Drew Ogletree: Won't travel to Frankfurt
Ogletree (foot) won't play in Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Ogletree will have to sit out at least one game as he recovers from the foot injury he sustained in Week 9 at Carolina. Mo Alie-Cox will likely see an uptick in snaps in Ogletree's absence.
