Kmet (thigh) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Kmet was absent Wednesday and limited Thursday before ultimately logging a full practice Friday. He caught five touchdown passes the past three weeks after a 27-game streak without one, and while the TD parade can't last forever, he does face another subpar defense this Sunday, playing in a dome against the Falcons.

Andrews (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Coach John Harbaugh relayed to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com earlier Friday that Andrews "took quite a few reps" in the final practice of Week 11, for which the tight end went down as a full participant. Still, the Ravens will take a cautious approach with Andrews' status, with Harbaugh adding, "I think we'll wait until Sunday to say for sure." With a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Andrews' availability (or lack thereof) will become known before the early slate of games, making it easier to pivot to Baltimore backup Isaiah Likely or another TE.

Coach John Harbaugh noted that Andrews (shoulder/knee) took a lot of reps during Friday's practice, but a determination on the tight end's Week 11 status won't arrive until Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

With that, we'd expect Andrews to be officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Fortunately for those hoping to use the tight end in fantasy lineups this week, the Ravens kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Woods (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Woods usually is part of a three-man rotation at tight end with Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, so the rookie's absence could free up a few additional opportunities for his teammates. Woods will look to heal up in time to face the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 12.

Thomas (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Houston, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas missed Weeks 5-7 with a calf injury and has caught only two of seven targets for 12 yards in three games since returning. He played 72 and 73 percent of offensive snaps in Washington's past two games, but Taylor Heinicke mostly has focused his attention on WR Terry McLaurin and the team's running backs.

Njoku (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram relayed via coach Kevin Stefanski that Njoku -- who last suited up Week 7 -- is progressing and will continue to be monitored over the next couple of days. Per Trotter, Njoku is optimistic about his chances of returning to action this weekend, and fortunately for those considering the tight end in Week 11 fantasy lineups, the Browns kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Rogers (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Rogers will miss his first game of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of knee and ankle issues. The 24-year-old has played a complementary role on Washington's offense through the team's first 10 contests, but John Bates and Cole Turner are slated for additional tight-end snaps Sunday in Houston behind starter Logan Thomas.

Coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Bellinger (eye) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Bellinger will miss a fourth straight contest due to a fractured left eye socket, while also having had the Giants' bye to recover. The rookie tight end was able to resume catching passes Wednesday, a sign that he continues to progress in the right direction, but New York will have to rely on Lawrence Cager, Tanner Hudson and Chris Myarick to hold down the fort at tight end for at least one more week. Bellinger's next chance to play will come Thanksgiving Day versus the Cowboys.

Tonyan was targeted four times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Titans.

Tonyan played more than twice as many snaps as any other Packers tight end, but as has typically been the case this season, he made only a minor mark in the box score. Things may not change in the weeks ahead, as the Packers' next two opponents -- the Eagles and Bears -- both rank top 10 in the league against tight ends heading into their Week 11 matchups.

Hooper brought in all four targets for 36 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

The veteran tight end's tenure in Tennessee had mostly been a disappointment until Week 7, when Hooper started on an upward trajectory that culminated with his first pair of scoring grabs as a Titan. Hooper's first touchdown reception came on a nifty three-yard jump pass from Derrick Henry, and the second was a 16-yard grab on the first play of the fourth quarter that closed out the scoring on the night. Hooper now has a 15-172-2 line over his last five games, numbers he'll next have a chance to build on in a Week 12 home contest versus the Bengals a week from Sunday.
