Smythe (ankle) was present for Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Smythe didn't practice Wednesday, but the tight end's return to the field Thursday is a good sign regarding his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders. The Dolphins' upcoming injury report will clarify whether Smythe practiced fully or in a limited fashion.

Manhertz played 30 of the Broncos' 75 snaps on offense and turned his lone target into a six-yard reception in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.

The six-yard grab was just the second catch of the season for Manhertz. The 31-year-old has been active for all nine of the Broncos' games this season and has played at least 20 percent of the snaps on offense each time, but he's been deployed almost exclusively as a blocker when he's on the field.

Parkinson (biceps) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Parkinson missed practice time last week with the same injury but was able to play against the Commanders, catching a three-yard pass on one target across 33 offensive snaps. Parkinson plays in a three-way committee approach at tight end for the Seahawks alongside Noah Fant and Will Dissly.

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.
