  • Gerald Everett TE | CHI

    Chargers' Gerald Everett: Deemed day-to-day

    Coach Brandon Staley termed Everett (groin) day-to-day Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Everett made an early exit from Sunday's loss at San Francisco due to a groin injury, finishing with two catches on two targets for 23 yards. In his previous eight appearances this season, he was good for at least a 57 percent share of snaps and averaged 6.6 targets per game, taking advantage of injuries to Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle). The health of all three will be crucial for the Chargers as they gear up for Sunday's NFC West showdown with Kansas City.

  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Seahawks' Will Dissly: Brings in two passes

    Dissly caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Dissly handled a season-low 21 percent of the offensive snaps, which wasn't far behind Noah Fant (26). The Seahawks frequently utilize two tight-end sets, but they limited their tight-end usage because they were trailing most of the game. Regardless, fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for Dissly on a weekly basis, as he has put up a 26-258-3 line through 10 games.

  • Lawrence Cager TE | WAS

    Giants' Lawrence Cager: Lands back on practice squad

    Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    The fourth-year tight end was elevated for the second straight week during Sunday's win over Houston, playing 45 of the Giants' 69 offensive snaps ahead of Chris Myarick (16) and Tanner Hudson (11). With Daniel Bellinger still out due to an eye injury, Cager has quickly risen up the Giants' tight-end depth chart since joining the team's practice squad Oct. 18, as he caught both targets for nine yards and a touchdown against the Texans. Cager figures to continue suiting up so long as Bellinger remains sidelined, though he'll only be eligible for one more practice-squad elevation before requiring a full roster spot moving forward.

  • Geoff Swaim TE | CLE

    Titans' Geoff Swaim: Targeted once in win

    Swaim failed to record a catch on his only target in Sunday's 17-10 win over Denver.

    Swaim saw his snap rate dip to 53 percent, his lowest mark since Week 2. He failed to record a catch for the fourth straight game, and even if his role rebounds, he will remain the Titans' blocking tight end.

  • Jared Pinkney TE | CHI

    Jared Pinkney: Returns to practice squad

    Pinkney reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Pinkney received his second elevation to the active roster in as many weeks, but once again he failed to see any snaps on offense. However, the 25-year-old did record a tackle on punt coverage while working on special teams in Sunday's game with the Cardinals.

  • Cole Turner TE | MIA

    Commanders' Cole Turner: Healthy scratch again

    Turner (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Monday's game against the Eagles.

    Turner will be a healthy scratch for the second week in a row after falling out of the Commanders' crowded corps of tight ends. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Texans.

  • Miller Forristall: Returns to practice squad

    Forristall reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Forristall received another opportunity with the active roster Sunday against the Dolphins, as David Njoku remained sidelined with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old saw just one snap on offense while also chipping in on special teams, but he failed to record any stats. If Njoku remains sidelined in Week 11, Forristall would likely get another chance to play against the Bills.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Trending toward Week 11 return

    Coach John Harbaugh expressed optimism Monday with regard to Andrews' (knee/shoulder) chances of returning to action Sunday against the Panthers.

    Andrews missed the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Saints but was afforded some extra healing time with the team on bye last week. Per Harbaugh, the Ravens plan to "see how it progresses throughout the rest of the week" with their top TE, but the coach suggested that Andrews is among Baltimore's injured players who "have a real good chance" to be back in action Week 11. A return to practice, in any capacity, Wednesday on Andrews' part would support that notion.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Cardinals' Zach Ertz: Seeking second opinion

    Ertz plans to get a second opinion on the knee injury that he suffered Sunday against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

    Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the tight end's knee injury is believed to be a season-ending issue, with Weinfuss confirming that Ertz is out indefinitely. For his part, Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury noted that the team expects to have a clearer picture regarding Ertz's status later Monday or Tuesday. In Ertz's looming absence, TEs Trey McBride and Stephen Anderson are in line to see added opportunities in Arizona's passing game in the coming weeks.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Cardinals' Zach Ertz: Reportedly out for season

    Ertz is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Initially, it was reported that Ertz had avoided a season ender and would be sidelined for multiple weeks, but it appears an MRI on Monday revealed significant damage to his knee. The veteran tight end thus is in line to end the 2022 campaign with 47 receptions on 69 targets for 406 yards and four scores. In his absence, rookie second-round pick Trey McBride likely will operate as the starter, but Stephen Anderson also could see an increased offensive role moving forward.
