  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Limited again Friday

    Washington (concussion) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.comreports.

    Washington remains in the concussion protocol but has now logged back-to-back limited practices to begin Week 15. If he's able to practice in full Saturday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist, Washington would be in line to suit up for Monday's matchup against Miami. In the event that Washington can't play Week 15, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth would stand to benefit slightly from increased target consolidation at the tight end position.

  • Eric Saubert TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Eric Saubert: Questionable for Sunday

    Saubert (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Saubert was placed on injured reserve after suffering a calf injury in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans. The tight end has been working his way back and was able to log enough practice sessions in some capacity to be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. If Saubert can suit up, he will likely slot in as the No. 2 tight end behind 2024 fourth-round pick AJ Barner.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Officially questionable for SNF

    Ferguson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota after logging a limited practice Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Ferguson sandwiched two limited practices around a Thursday absence, with Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones revealing Friday that the team expects its top tight end to be available Sunday night. If not, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will be the top TEs for an offense that's consolidated around RB Javonte Williams, WR CeeDee Lamb and WR George Pickens over the past month. Anyone considering Ferguson as a Week 15 lineup option should keep an eye on the situation, as he'd be a high-risk play if there's any hint of real danger for missing SNF.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Good to go

    Morris (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Morris was a full participant in Friday's practice and has moved past his ankle injury enough to be cleared of any injury designation going into Sunday's contest. The No. 2 tight end has logged two receptions for 25 yards on five targets through 10 games played this season and will likely continue in his primary role as a blocking tight end for the Jaguars' offense.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Expected to play

    Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Friday that he expects Ferguson (calf) to play Sunday night against the Vikings, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Ferguson was a limited practice participant Wednesday and then sat out Thursday, but Jones said the tight end looked good during Friday's practice. It still seems more likely than not for Ferguson to enter the game with a 'questionable' designation, which could be tricky for managers ahead of a primetime kickoff (8:20 p.m. ET Sunday).

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Added to injury report

    Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston after missing Friday's practice with an illness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    He hasn't seen enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration, but Higgins has taken over more playing time recently due to Arizona's numerous WR injuries. Josiah Deguara and Pharaoh Brown could be tasked with larger roles if Higgins is declared inactive before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

  • Brenden Bates TE | CLE

    Browns' Brenden Bates: Ready to go Sunday

    Bates (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Bates was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant Friday. He is now ready to play Sunday against the Bears for the first time since Week 12 versus the Raiders. The 26-year-old has had minimal impact on offense when healthy this season, hauling in two receptions on two targets for 23 yards in five games played (three with the Texans and two with the Browns).

  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Ruled out to face Colts

    Arroyo (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Arroyo will miss at least one game due to the knee injury he suffered Week 14 against Atlanta. With the rookie second-round pick sidelined, Nick Kallerup will stand to operate as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Clear for Week 15

    Andrews (glute) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

    Andrews showed up on the Ravens' Week 15 injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to a glute injury, but after getting back to all activity one day later, he's in the clear ahead of the weekend. Since he scored his last touchdown Week 11 at Cleveland, he's managed just a 6-65-0 line on 14 targets and recorded two carries for two yards over the last three contests, but facing a Bengals defense that has been the most yielding to opposing TEs in all statistical categories this season may aid in a bounce-back effort Sunday.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Cleared to play

    Johnson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

    Johnson upgraded to full practice Friday after limited sessions the previous two days. He should be ready for his usual near-every-down role, against a Washington defense that's allowing a league-high 8.7 yards per pass attempt.
