Hill (ankle) practiced without limitations Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Hill's poised to return Sunday against the Commanders in Madrid following a three-game absence. He's expected to reclaim his role as Miami's top tight end in the ongoing absence of Darren Waller (pectoral). The Dolphins also have Greg Dulcich and Hayden Rucci at the position.

Gordon (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Gordon was limited to one touch in Miami's Week 10 win over the Bills while playing through this ankle injury, so it remains to be seen how change-of-pace duties behind lead back De'Von Achane will be distributed between Gordon and Jaylen Wright, though it's encouraging that Gordon practiced without limitations Friday and avoided an injury designation. The Dolphins will face a slumping Commanders team Sunday morning in Madrid.

Sinnott (ankle) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Sinnott's trending in the wrong direction, as he was added to Washington's injury report as a limited participant in practice Thursday and was unable to practice in any capacity Friday. John Bates and Colson Yankoff are available to provide depth behind Zach Ertz in Madrid against the Dolphins if Sinnott's declared out.

Stover (foot) logged a limited practice Thursday.

Stover, who was designated to return from a broken foot this week, logged a second consecutive limited practice ahead of Sunday's game against Tennessee. What makes his situation interesting is that the two tight ends currently on the active roster, Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) and Dalton Schultz (illness/shoulder), were non-participants for the first two practices of the week.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Houston's tight end room is in flux entering Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Bryant logged a second consecutive DNP, as did starting tight end Dalton Schultz (illness/shoulder). A third tight end, Cade Stover, has been designated to return from a broken foot and was a limited participant for the second straight day.

Metchie brought in all three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

Metchie led the Jets in receiving yards and also recorded his first touchdown as a member of the team, logging a 22-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter on a play where he got wide open down the left side of the field. His yardage total was his highest since a Christmas Day loss to the Ravens last season while still with the Texans, and the fourth-year pro could have an expanded role down the stretch due to Garrett Wilson's current IR stint due to a knee injury.

Mitchell secured one of six targets for 10 yards in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

Mitchell surprisingly led the Jets in targets in his team debut, although he and Justin Fields clearly had trouble connecting. Nevertheless, with Garrett Wilson (IR, knee) now sidelined for at least three more games, Mitchell should have plenty of opportunities to build a rapport with whoever is under center between Fields and Tyrod Taylor for New York over the next several contests.

Taylor brought in all four targets for 30 yards in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

Taylor put a one-reception effort against the Browns on Sunday behind him with Thursday's performance, his third mult-catch tally in the last four games. The rookie's talent is unquestioned, but his game-to-game production is still subject to the whims of QB Justin Fields' passing performances. As such, Taylor will remain an unpredictable fantasy option in a tough Week 12 road matchup against the Ravens.

Henry secured four of six targets for 45 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

Henry had been held to a season-low-tying one reception Sunday against the Buccaneers, but he bounced back by tying his second-highest catch total of the campaign. The veteran tight end also posted his second-highest yardage tally in the last six contests, while Thursday's targets tied for the most he'd seen since Week 3. Henry will take a 34-422-4 line on 53 targets into a Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Hollins secured four of five targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

Hollins was a relatively distant runner-up to team leader Stefon Diggs in receiving yards, and he finished tied for third in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout once again had more opportunity Thursday thanks to the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), and he now has a 10-170-0 line on 15 targets over the latter's pair of absences. Hollins will remain a complementary option in the air attack even if Boutte returns for a Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 23, but his targets would stand to take a hit.
