Adkins (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Adkins hurt his knee during a game against Dallas on Oct. 26. Though the Broncos have elected against placing Adkins on IR to this point, the tight end hasn't practiced since getting hurt and has missed four consecutive contests. Adam Trautman has worked as Denver's No. 2 tight end while Adkins has been out and will presumably continue to do so until Adkins returns.

Gray (concussion) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Gray missed last week's loss to the Cowboys, but he's progressing well and appears on track to clear the league's concussion protocol before Sunday's game versus the Texans. Gray typically plays more than half the offensive snaps in a game. He has produced 16 receptions for 132 yards through 11 games.

Barner was limited at practice Wednesday due to knee and shoulder injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Barner paces Seattle's group of tight ends most weeks, clearing an 80 percent snap share eight times in 12 games this season. The results have been more tepid in the box score, as evidenced by a 37-359-4 line on 46 targets on the campaign in an offense that is run-heavy and also has a clear top receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Barner will have two more chances to prove his health this week before Friday's practice report potentially includes a designation for Sunday's contest in Atlanta.

Bates (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Bates missed last week's loss to the 49ers, and he's in danger of missing this Sunday's game versus the Titans unless he can return to the practice field by Friday. Even if Bates is able to play, he likely won't factor into the offensive gameplan because David Njoku (knee) is trending towards playing while Harold Fannin has the top spot locked up.

Mayer (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Mayer didn't practice last week before being ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Another DNP on Wednesday clouds the TE's Week 14 status, but Mayer's outlook for this weekend's game against the Broncos could improve if he returns to practice Thursday or Friday.

Zylstra (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

Zylstra has been on injured reserve since getting hurt in Week 2 against the Bears, and he finally returned to practice Monday. The 29-year-old tight end isn't quite ready to return to action, however, and he'll aim to get back in the mix in Week 15 versus the Rams. Last season, Zylstra averaged just 9.0 offensive snaps per game.

Andrews agreed to a three-year extension with the Ravens on Wednesday.

Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Andrews' deal is reportedly worth $39.3 million and includes $26 million guaranteed. The veteran tight end was slated to become a free agent after the 2025 season, but he's now under contract with the Ravens through 2028. In 12 games this year, the 30-year-old has caught 37 of his 52 targets for 332 yards and a team-high five receiving TDs. .

Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Njoku, who continues to manage a knee issue, was also limited this past Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday and approaching Week 13 action without an injury designation. A similar pattern could be on tap for the tight end ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

Wright now will miss a second consecutive contest due to a tracheal injury that may result in an extended absence, as coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Sunday. With Sam LaPorta (back) potentially out for the season, the Lions will lean on Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci at TE in Week 14. Wright's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

The Cardinals signed Brown from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The 31-year-old has appeared in the Cardinals' last three games, contributing both offensively and on special teams (25 snaps on offense and 30 on special teams). Now with the active roster, Brown will likely continue playing a depth role in Arizona's tight-end room for the remainder of the season.
