  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Active versus Bengals

    Kincaid (hamstring/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    After being listed as limited at practice Wednesday through Friday, Kincaid, who last saw game action in Week 10, was deemed questionable to face Cincinnati. With his return to Buffalo's lineup confirmed, Kincaid will have an opportunity to reclaim his status as his team's top pass-catching tight end, a role that has resulted in him logging a 29/448/4 receiving line on 36 targets through the eight contests he's suited up for, a level of production that keeps the 2023 first-rounder on the fantasy lineup radar, when healthy.

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Will try to play through injuries

    Kincaid (hamstring/knee), who is officially questionable to take the field against Cincinnati on Sunday, is expected to try to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Kincaid's hamstring injury kept him out of action for Buffalo's past three games. He dealt with an additional injury to his knee this week, but the third-year tight end managed a trio of limited practices. It sounds like he'll try to give it a go Sunday, though his official status probably won't be solidified until after he begins his pregame routine and and until the Bills release their list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. It's also worth noting that Sunday's game is expected to be played in wintery conditions -- including possible snow -- though it's uncertain if that will be a factor in Buffalo's decision to deploy Kincaid.

  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Broncos' Marcedes Lewis: Signs with active roster

    The Broncos signed Lewis to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Eric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Lewis was elevated from the practice squad three consecutive times before the Broncos' Week 13 bye, and he now must be signed to the active roster to continue to play for the team. The veteran tight end has been primarily used as a blocker, seeing 38 offensive snaps through three games as a replacement for tight ends Nate Adkins (knee) and Lucas Krull (foot). The Bronocs waived linebacker Garret Wallow in a corresponding move to make room for Lewis on the active roster, and the tight end will likely remain there until either Adkins or Krull can return to the field.

  • Tucker Fisk TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Ruled out for Monday

    The Chargers have ruled out Fisk (ankle) for Monday's game against the Eagles.

    Fisk was unable to practice this week with an ankle injury. It's unclear when he was injured, as he saw 26 snaps on offense in Week 13, on par with the rest of the season. Oronde Gadsden should not see much of a role change; however, Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin could see a higher snap count and larger role in the blocking game in Fisk's absence.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Won't play at Las Vegas

    Adkins (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Adkins did not participate at practice at all during the week, as he continues to tend to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys. Adam Trautman and two-time Pro Bowler Evan Engram are currently the only two healthy tight ends on Denver's 53-man roster.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Out again in Week 14

    Mayer (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Mayer hasn't been able to practice since he sustained an ankle injury Week 12 against the Browns, and while he'll be absent for a second consecutive contest Sunday, coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism that the third-year pro will be able to return Week 15 at Philadelphia on Sunday, Dec. 14, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. With Mayer sidelined again, Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon will take on the TE reps that don't go to top option Brock Bowers.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Cleared to play Week 14

    Gray (concussion/shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Gray entered the league's concussion protocol following the Chiefs' Week 12 loss to the Colts, which prevented him from playing in Kansas City's Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas. The fifth-year tight end has also been working through a shoulder injury, but he's been cleared to play against Houston after logging a full practice week. Gray will return to his TE2 role behind Travis Kelce, which means less offensive snaps will be available for Robert Tonyan and Jared Wiley.

  • Feleipe Franks TE | ATL

    Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Past calf issue

    Franks (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Franks practiced in a limited capacity Thursday due to a calf injury, but he upgraded to a full go Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, the 27-year-old is expected to contribute on special teams while playing a depth role in Atlanta's tight-end corps in Week 14.

  • Brenden Bates TE | CLE

    Browns' Brenden Bates: Missing more time

    Bates (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    The 26-year-old logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Browns' week of practice and is now in line to miss his second game in a row due to an ankle injury. While Bates is sidelined again Sunday, Cleveland's tight-end room will likely consist of Blake Whiteheart, David Njoku and Harold Fannin.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Clear for Week 14

    Njoku (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku has often been listed with knee injuries on Browns practice reports since he hurt his knee in Week 16 of last season, but he's missed only one game (Week 7) of the current campaign. He's mostly been silent in five appearances since then, tallying a 9-69-2 line on 11 targets, as opposed to rookie Harold Fannin's 19-215-2 line on 31 targets during that same span. Njoku likely will continue to play second fiddle to Fannin in Week 14.
