Conklin did not register a target during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

The veteran tight end's offensive snap count dropped significantly in Week 6, due in large part to the return of Will Dissly. Conklin saw just three snaps on offense, well behind rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden (48), Tucker Fisk (27) and Dissly (26). Sunday marked the third time this season that Conklin did not record a catch and the second time he didn't register a target. The 2018 fifth-rounder's fantasy production figures to remain low unless Dissly or Gradsden were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension.

Dissly finished Sunday's 29-27 win over the Dolphins with two catches on as many targets for 18 yards.

Dissly was cleared to return Sunday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He ended up playing 26 snaps on offense, which was behind 2025 fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden (48) and Tucker Fisk (27), but ahead of veteran Tyler Conklin (three). Given the disparity in snap count between Dissly and Gadsden, it appears that the rookie has taken over as the Chargers' No. 1 option at tight end. Up next for the Chargers is a Week 7 home clash against a Colts team whose defense yielded eight catches for 72 yards and a touchdown to tight end Trey McBride in a Week 6 win over the Cardinals.

Harris caught four passes on five targets for 27 yards during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Harris was thrust into a larger offensive role Sunday due to Quentin Johnston being ruled out with a hamstring injury. Harris proceeded to play a season-high 53 snaps on offense and finished tied with Keenan Allen for third on the Chargers in both catches and receiving yards. Harris' would revert to a rotational role for Week 7 against the Colts if Johnston were cleared to return.

The Broncos placed Peart (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Peart started at left guard Sunday against the Jets after the Broncos placed starter Ben Powers (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday. Denver will now be down to its third-stringer at the position. The team signed Calvin Throckmorton off the practice squad, and he'll be an option along with Alex Palczewski.

The NFL lifted Hoecht's six-game suspension Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Hoecht was suspended six games by the NFL in March for violating the league's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances. With the Bills sitting at 4-2 heading into the Week 7 bye, Hoecht will be eligible to make his 2025 regular-season debut in Week 8 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. He signed a three-year contract with the Bills in March after spending the past four seasons with the Rams. He finished the 2024 regular season with 56 tackles (24 solo) including 3.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 17 games.

Hudson (concussion) was a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Hudson is in the league's concussion protocol and will have an extremely difficult time gaining clearance on a short week ahead of Thursday night's game against the Steelers. With Hudson looking unlikely to play and Mike Gesicki (chest) ruled out, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy will be in line to handle tight-end duties for Cincinnati.

Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jones has posted back-to-back DNP estimates to begin the week, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday night against the Steelers. If Jones can't play, Jermaine Burton would make sense as the next man up to handle return duties for the Bengals.

Ogunjobi's six-game suspension was lifted by the NFL on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Ogunjobi was handed a six-game suspension by the NFL in March after he violated the league's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances. The Bills are on a bye for Week 7, so the 2017 third-rounder should be available for Week 8 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. Ogunjobi signed a one-year contract with the Bills in March after spending the past three seasons with the Steelers. He finished the 2024 regular season with 41 tackles (16 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 15 games.

Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Jones (calf) is week-to-week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Jones was injured in pregame warmups ahead of Monday night's game against the Falcons and was in a walking boot after the loss. With Jones sidelined, Deone Walker and Jordan Phillips picked up the slack alongside Ed Oliver at defensive tackle.

Moody reverted to the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moody was called up from the Bears' practice squad for Monday's game against the Commanders due to the absence of Cairo Santos (thigh). Moody went 4-for-5 on his field-goal attempts Monday, which included a 38-yard kick as time expired to lift the Bears to a 25-24 victory. The 2023 third-rounder could be elevated for Chicago's Week 7 contest against New Orleans on Sunday if Santos is not cleared to play.
