Bellinger (neck) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Bellinger was a limited participant in Thursday's practice after popping up on the Giants' injury report, though when he sustained the neck injury is unclear. Participating in full in Saturday's practice indicates that Bellinger should be good to go for Monday's contest against the Seahawks. He has two catches for nine yards and has logged 141 snaps -- 99 on offense -- in three contests this season.

The Bengals elevated Hudson to their active roster Saturday.

This marks the second week in a row that Hudson has been promoted from the team's practice squad. He filled in Week 3 against the Rams with Irv Smith (hamstring) ruled out and finished as the top pass-catching tight end with two catches on four targets for 30 yards. He played 36 offensive snaps in Week 3, more than fellow tight ends Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox, and could see that same usage against the Titans on Sunday, with Smith being ruled out for the second straight week.

The Cowboys elevated McKeon to the active roster Saturday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

McKeon was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Aug. 31 after being cut by the team two days earlier ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. He could be active for Sunday's contest against the Patriots if tight end Peyton Hendershot (ankle) is ruled out.

The Browns elevated Mitchell-Paden from their practice squad Saturday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell-Paden could be active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, with David Njoku listed as questionable after burning his face and arm in a household accident. If Njoku is out, Mitchell-Paden would figure to slot into a depth tight end role behind Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins.

Njoku burned both his face and arm in a household accident and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

It's unclear to what level of severity the burns are that Njoku suffered, and the team didn't release any further information regarding the injury. If the veteran tight end were to miss time, expect Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins to split the workload.

Kroft (back) will be available for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Kroft practiced in limited fashion four consecutive days to kick off the week before logging a full workload Friday. Barring any setbacks, he is set to return from a one-game absence and back up Durham Smythe at tight end.

Dissly (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

After having his reps capped for both of the Seahawks' Week 4 practices, Dissly may need to upgrade to full activity Saturday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Monday's game against the Giants. While Dissly was sidelined for the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Panthers, top tight end Noah Fant benefited from an expanded snap share (65 percent) and finished with four receptions for 41 yards on five targets.

Bellinger (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

It is unclear if Bellinger picked up the injury during the Giants' Week 3 loss to the 49ers or some other way, but he popped up on the injury report Thursday. Although he is behind Darren Waller on the depth chart, the second-year tight end has handled offensive snaps north of 60 percent through three weeks. Lawrence Cager would likely be in line to assume the No. 2 role if Bellinger is unable to go.

Gray (illness) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Jets.

After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday with an illness, Gray was a full participant at practice Friday and will suit up for Week 4. His snap count has remained relatively steady even with the return of Travis Kelce, but he's only seen five targets over the past two games.

Everett (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Everett was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned to full participation Friday, suggesting that he has recovered from the illness. The tight end is a candidate to take on more targets with wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) out for the season, but Everett has ceded red-zone opportunities to Donald Parham, who has three touchdowns on seven targets. Meanwhile, Everett has yet to find the end zone on 12 targets this season.
