Bills coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Kincaid (hamstring) is ruled out for Thursday's road contest against the Texans, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

McDermott's announcement doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Kincaid was labeled week-to-week after injuring his hamstring Week 10 versus the Dolphins and hasn't practiced in any capacity since. His next chance to return to action will come Sunday, Nov. 30 on the road against Pittsburgh in Week 13, while Dawson Knox will start at tight end for Buffalo on Thursday, with Jackson Hawes operating in the No. 2 role.

Gipson didn't play a snap on offense and returned one kickoff for 22 yards and one punt for zero yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

Gipson was active for a fourth game in a row and appears to have emerged as the Eagles' preferred option on both kickoff and punt returns. However, the 24-year-old has largely been an afterthought on offense since the Eagles claimed him off waivers from the Giants in late September. He's played just six total snaps on offense, recording one catch for three yards.

Cooper went without a target while playing three of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

The undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State was active for the third game in a row but is still in search of his first career reception. He finished a distant fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in playing time Week 11, with his four percent snap share trailing DeVonta Smith (97), A.J. Brown (93) and Jahan Dotson (32).

Laube went without a touch while playing one snap on offense and gained 94 yards on four kickoff returns in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

For the first time since Week 7, Laube saw action on offense, but he went unused while Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert took on all of the opportunities out of the backfield. While Laube will likely remain active as the Raiders' No. 3 back in future weeks, he'll continue to see the overwhelming share of his playing time on special teams.

Thomas was on the field for 17 of the Raiders' 60 snaps on offense and recorded a 20-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

Thomas' 20-yard catch and run in the first quarter represented his longest gain of the season and Las Vegas' second-longest play of the night. The 29-year-old has suited up in all 10 of the Raiders' games this season, but he remains the clear No. 3 tight end on the depth chart behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Runyon wasn't targeted while playing one snap on offense in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

Runyon appeared on the stat sheet with a tackle on special teams, but the tight end once again came up empty on offense. In six appearances for Las Vegas this season, Runyon has recorded just one reception for three yards.

Spann-Ford was on the field for 24 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense and recorded a four-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Spann-Ford once again served as Dallas' No. 3 tight end, with his 36 percent snap share placing him behind Jake Ferguson (63) and Luke Schoonmaker (45). The second-year player out of Minnesota now has four receptions for 18 yards on five targets through 10 appearances.

Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 30 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Schoonmaker ran routes on just six of his 30 snaps and was one of the few Dallas pass catchers to go without a look on a night in which quarterback Dak Prescott targeted nine different players. So as long as top tight end Jake Ferguson is available, Schoonmaker looks like he'll mostly be limited to a tertiary role in the passing game while serving as a blocker more often than not when he's on the field.

Tolbert played 12 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Tolbert's role on offense has continued to dissipate; he's now played fewer than 20 percent of Dallas' snaps in three straight games. His 18 percent share Monday placed him fifth among Cowboys receivers, trailing CeeDee Lamb (73), George Pickens (67), Ryan Flournoy (43) and KaVontae Turpin (34).

Turpin recorded one catch for zero yards on two targets and returned one punt for 14 yards and four kickoffs for 111 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

For the first time in eight appearances on the season, Turpin failed to account for any yards from scrimmage. Though the two-time Pro Bowl returner will continue to make his greatest impact for Dallas on special teams, he looks like he'll still be a part-time contributor on offense as a gadget player. He was on the field for 23 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps Monday, placing him fourth among wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy.
