Andrews (quadricep) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Andrews, who was held out of Week 1 action, returned to a full practice Friday but was listed as questionable by the Ravens ahead of Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed, Andrews figures to step back into a key role in the team's Lamar Jackson-led passing offense in the absence of any in-game setbacks. Fellow TE Isaiah Likely is also on hand to log complementary snaps behind Andrews versus Cincinnati.

Kelce (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Kelce was officially listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion this week, but the star tight end will give it a go Sunday after missing the Chiefs' regular-season opener back on Sept. 7. Barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, Kelce should reclaim his role as a top target for QB Patrick Mahomes in a Kansas City passing offense that could use a spark following the team's 21-20 loss to the Lions in Week 1.

Likely is set to move into a reduced role Sunday against the Bengals with Mark Andrews (quadriceps) listed as questionable but on track to make his season debut, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

Barring any late setbacks with his injured quad leading up to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Andrews should start at tight end and see a typical workload after he closed the week as a full practice participant. While Andrews was sidelined for the Week 1 matchup with the Texans, Likely couldn't take advantage of the favorable matchup against a weak opponent, nor a big bump in playing time. Despite taking the field for 41 of the Ravens' offensive plays (71 percent share), Likely managed just a four-yard reception on his lone target.

Gray is set to serve as the Chiefs' No. 2 tight end in Sunday's game against the Jaguars with starter Travis Kelce (knee) listed as questionable but expected to make his season debut, Ed Easton Jr. of USA Today reports.

While Kelce was sidelined for the Chiefs' season-opening loss to the Lions, Gray stepped into a starting role and played a career-high 87 percent of Kansas City's offensive snaps. Despite the heightened snap count, Gray didn't come close to matching Kelce's usual production as a receiver, recording three catches for 31 yards on five targets. Though Gray often took the field for more than half of the Chiefs' offensive snaps in games when Kelce was available last season, the former often served as a blocker or tertiary option in the passing game. With Kelce back in the fold Week 2, Gray can probably be counted on for only two or three targets.

Kelce (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Despite being officially listed as questionable for the Week 2 matchup, Kelce is on track to make his season debut after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. Because he's likely still not 100 percent healed from the bone bruise in his right knee, Kelce is expected to continue wearing a compression sleeve on his knee, as he has been doing in practice. Schefter reports that sitting out the Chiefs' season-opening loss to the Lions allowed Kelce to get "his legs back," so the star tight end should be in line for his typical high-volume role in the Kansas City passing attack Sunday. Kelce's status will be made official roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Chiefs' inactive list is released.

Andrews (quadriceps) is expected to play Sunday at Cincinnati, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Andrews missed Week 1 and is officially listed as questionable for Week 2, but he was a full participant in practice Friday and should be capable of handling a normal workload. Official word on the star tight end's status will come when Baltimore releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Andrews is indeed active, he will become an automatic start for fantasy managers, while Isaiah Likely will be relegated to No. 2 duties.

Dulcich (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

This isn't exactly a surprising development, as it was reported earlier this week Dulcich would miss "several weeks" with a hamstring injury. The earliest the second-year tight end is eligible to return would be a Thursday night Week 6 battle against the Chiefs. Expect Adam Trautman to see the vast majority of the tight end snaps in the absence of the 23-year-old Dulcich.

Granson was added to the Colts' injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Granson started in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, tallying four catches and six targets compared to a total of four targets combined for backups Mo Alie-Cox and Andrew Ogletree. If Granson is unable to play, Ogletree and Alie-Cox would likely split the workload, with the former perhaps seeing a few more pass-catching opportunities against a formidable Texans defense.

Ogletree was removed from concussion protocol Saturday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

Ogletree wasn't a huge offensive factor in Week 1, but he might take on a larger workload if Kylen Granson, who popped up on the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury, is unable to play. If he sees action, Ogletree will be making his second appearance in the NFL on Sunday after missing the entire 2022 season due to a torn ACL.

Dulcich (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Dulcich's absence this weekend comes as little surprise, given that Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com previously reported that the tight end was expected to miss several weeks with the injury he picked up in the Broncos' season-opening loss to the Raiders. As long as Dulcich is sidelined, Adam Trautman should operate as the Broncos' clear top tight end and potentially see added involvement in Denver's passing offense.
