Ferguson secured five of seven targets for 58 yards and caught a two-point conversion pass in the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

The talented tight end finished a distant third in receiving yards for the Cowboys on the night, but Ferguson turned in another productive performance he rounded out with his one scoring grab. Ferguson now has three consecutive five-catch efforts and at least 50 receiving yards in three of the last five contests heading into a Week 15 home matchup against the Vikings on Sunday night, Dec. 14.

Franks (calf) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

The tight end was not listed on Wednesday's report after suffering the injury during Sunday's loss to the Jets. It's unclear if Franks aggravated the injury or if his limited participation was just a precaution, but Atlanta does have one more practice Friday ahead of this Sunday's matchup with Seattle. Franks has played far more on special teams than offense in 2025.

Fisk (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official website reports.

Fisk is dealing with an apparent ankle injury to open the week, forcing him to sit out the team's first practice ahead of Week 14. The tight end will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Monday night's matchup against the Eagles.

Barner (knee/shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Barner followed up Wednesday's limited session with all activity one day later, clearing him to continue serving as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end. In such a role, he's put together a respectable 37-359-4 line on 46 targets in 12 games to date.

Rucci (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

The Lions claimed Rucci off waivers to provide depth to their beat-up tight end corps. He has yet to appear in a game with the team.

Mayer (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Mayer has now missed five straight practices, giving him one more opportunity to get some work in before the Raiders' Week 14 injury designations are assigned. If Mayer remains out Sunday against the Broncos, Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon will be candidates to log added snaps behind Las Vegas' top tight end Brock Bowers.

Njoku (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Njoku, who also was limited Wednesday, was limited last Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday and heading into Week 13 without an injury designation. Chances are that cadence is repeated ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

The Lions placed Wright (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.

Wright joins fellow TE Sam LaPorta (back) on IR, meaning the former will miss at least the next four games. With all of Wright, LaPorta and Shane Zylstra (knee), the latter of whom was designated for return from IR this week but ruled out for Week 14 action, sidelined, Detroit's group of available tight ends Thursday against the Cowboys includes Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci.

Kincaid (hamstring/knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

Kincaid, who also was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, now has one more chance to practice fully in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard, the tight end, who last saw game action Week 10, sported a knee brace on his left leg at practice Thursday as he continues to manage a hamstring injury, along with a knee issue that popped up on Wednesday's injury report.

Franks was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Franks was forced out of Atlanta's Week 13 loss to the Jets due to a calf injury. He wasn't hampered by the injury in Wednesday's practice, setting him up to play in Week 14 against the Seahawks.
