Myarick will not return to Saturday's preseason game against the Jets after suffering a hand injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Myarick has gone back-and-forth between the team's practice squad and active roster the past two seasons. The 27-year-old appeared in 16 games for New York last year, catching seven of his eight targets for 65 yards and one touchdown. Expect the tight end to continue serving a depth role on the Giants' offense ahead of the coming season. The severity of Myarick's injury is unknown at the moment.

Helm was waived by the Lions on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Helm signed with the Lions on Aug. 2 after being waived by the Falcons in May. He played in two of three preseason games for Detroit but failed to record a catch. He'll likely have to settle for a practice squad spot as he looks for an opportunity elsewhere.

Andrews (undisclosed) isn't on the field for warmups ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against Tampa Bay, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Andrews wasn't expected to play this preseason even if healthy, and he missed a practice or two this week due to an undisclosed injury. He'll focus on getting healthy ahead of a Week 1 home game against the Texans.

Deguara (calf) saw action in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.

Deguara did not make a mark in the box score, but he appeared in a second straight game after missing the exhibition opener with a calf issue. Deguara, listed as a fullback on Green Bay's official depth chart, is not a lock to open the regular season on the roster. However, he worked as a tight end in the past, and that experience could pay off with only three tight ends healthy for the Packers.

The Rams removed Long (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Saturday after he passed a physical, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Long was placed on the active/PUP list to begin training camp, and Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that there was a chance he could open the regular season on the list as well. The 25-year-old tight end will now be available to play Week 1. However, the nature of this initial injury was never revealed, leaving it unclear if Long will play Sunday, Sept. 10 versus Seattle.

Latu will require surgery to repair a meniscus injury sustained in Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Latu figures to take at least four weeks to recover following successful meniscus surgery, likely meaning he will not be available until early October. The 49ers will now have the option to immediately place him on IR, which would sideline him for the entirety of the 2023 campaign, or the team can retain him on the initial 53-man roster and then place him on IR, which would allow him to return this coming season. The rookie third-round pick figured to compete for a primary reserve role behind George Kittle heading into the regular season, though this injury could significantly impact Latu's outlook even if he manages to return at some point in 2023.

Kincaid wasn't targeted in Saturday's 24-21 preseason win over the Bears.

Kincaid appeared to play about half the snaps on QB Josh Allen's lone drive, which featured seven pass attempts and a short rushing score from RB Damien Harris. The Bills still have Dawson Knox as their top tight end, so in practice Kincaid is competing for snaps with No. 3 receiver Khalil Shakir as much or more so than with anyone else. Kincaid will make his regular-season NFL debut on Monday Night Football in Week 1 against the Jets.

Musgrave caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason win over Seattle.

Both catches came from Jordan Love and went for first downs to help the Packers score a TD on their third series of the game against Seattle's second-string defense. Most of the Green Bay starters were removed thereafter, and it appears Musgrave will be the team's top pass catcher at the position heading into a Week 1 contest at Chicago. While unlikely to take on an every-down role right out of the gate, Musgrave has the size and speed to eventually handle large workloads that include both in-line blocking and downfield route running.

Kmet finished without a catch on one target in Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo.

Kmet played three drives and had his one catch wiped out by a penalty on a teammate. He's locked in as Chicago's top tight end ahead of a Week 1 matchup with Green Bay, joining WRs DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney as one of the top receiving options for third-year QB Justin Fields.

Coach Mike Vrabel said Saturday that he expects Okonkwo (leg) will return to practice this week, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Okonkwo was held out of Friday's preseason win over the Patriots after suffering a minor leg injury during joint practices leading up to the game. He should be fine for Week 1 at New Orleans and could even be the second option in Tennessee's passing game (behind WR DeAndre Hopkins) if WR Treylon Burks (knee) is still bothered by an LCL injury.
