  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Status for Week 15 uncertain

    Arroyo (knee) may miss Sunday's contest against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Arroyo was forced out of the team's 37-9 win over the Falcons in Week 14 due to a knee injury, and head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that "this week's probably in jeopardy," for the tight end. If Arroyo is sidelined for Week 15, Nick Kallerup would stand to operate as the team's No. 2 tight end against Indianapolis.

  • Brevin Jordan TE | HOU

    Texans' Brevin Jordan: Signs contract extension

    Jordan (knee) and the Texans agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Jordan has been sidelined for the entirety of the regular season after suffering a significant knee injury at practice in August, but he will now stick around Houston for another year. The tight end caught 17 passes for a career-high 219 yards while scoring two touchdowns in his last healthy campaign in 2023, and he'll look to get back on track in 2026.

  • Ben Sinnott TE | WAS

    Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Catches lone target in Week 14 loss

    Sinnott caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain during Washington's 31-0 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.

    Sinnott played just 13 of 52 offensive snaps (25 percent), but the second-year tight end's role should be larger over the final four games of the regular season after Zach Ertz tore his ACL during Sunday's loss. With Ertz done for the year, Sinnott and John Bates will be the top tight-end options on the Commanders' active roster while practice-squad member Lawrence Cager provides depth at the position.

  • John Bates TE | WAS

    Commanders' John Bates: Set for larger role sans Ertz

    Bates did not record a target during the Commanders' 31-0 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Bates failed to see a target from a Commanders QB for the fifth time this season (and second time in Washington's last three games). However, with Zach Ertz out for the rest of season due to a torn ACL, Bates and Ben Sinnott are both poised for expanded roles on offense over the final four games of the regular season, starting with this Sunday's NFC East clash against the Giants.

  • Jackson Hawes TE | BUF

    Bills' Jackson Hawes: Catches clutch touchdown pass

    Hawes caught a three-yard touchdown pass during the Bills' 39-34 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Hawes served mostly as a blocker during Sunday's game, but he came up clutch late in the fourth quarter when he slipped beyond the line of scrimmage into the end zone and caught a three-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to extend the Bills' lead to 39-28 after the point-after try. Hawes played 34 snaps on offense, which was just behind Dawson Knox (35) and ahead of the returning Dalton Kincaid (22). Hawes is now up to 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 152 yards and three touchdowns through 13 regular-season games.

  • Tucker Fisk TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Placed on injured reserve

    The Chargers placed Fisk (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.

    Fisk was already ruled out for Monday night's game against the Eagles due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least four games, which means Week 18 against the Broncos on Sunday, Jan. 4 is the earliest he can return. With Fisk on IR and Tyler Conklin (coach's decision) a healthy inactive for Week 14, the Chargers will go with two tight ends on the active roster Monday in Will Dissly and rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Unavailable for MNF

    Conklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup with the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Conklin will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season after he combined to log just two offensive snaps over the team's last two games. Oronde Gadsden and Will Dissly will handle all the work at tight end against Philadelphia.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: 'DNP' on practice estimate

    Otton (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    The Buccaneers held a walk-through practice Monday, so a more accurate read on Otton's chances of playing Thursday night against the Falcons should arrive via Tuesday's practice report. Over his last three games, the tight end -- who has yet to score a TD this season -- has averaged three catches, while compiling a total of 49 yards in that span.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Estimated as limited Monday

    Pitts (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Pitts recorded a 92 percent snap share in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, a game in which the tight end caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 90 yards. Chances are, Pitts' listed limitations Monday were maintenance-related, with added context on that front set to arrive via Tuesday's injury report.

  • Ben Sims TE | MIN

    Vikings' Ben Sims: Gets first Vikings reception

    Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.

    It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.
