Seahawks | AJ Barner moving up pecking order Tue Aug 11, 11:24 AM

Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner said the team will use two tight ends very often in 2026. This will help facilitate the motions and shifts, a staple of the San Francisco 49ers offense from which offensive coordinator Brian Fleury came from. This facet has moved Barner up the pecking order in the offense, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Footballguys view: As ESPN noted, Barner is an ascending tight end who should come into his own in Year 3. He's finally healthy after multiple offseason surgeries. And Fleury's offense should accelerate his progress. Barner can do a little bit of everything. But he made a point of emphasizing another tight end when asked about up-and-comers on the roster: Elijah Arroyo. Those two will be working off of each other a lot in 2026 as a strength of the offense. Barner is being drafted as TE24; Arroyo is TE61.

Texans | Brevin Jordan dealing with injury Tue Aug 11, 12:20 AM

Houston Texans TE Brevin Jordan (knee) is considered day-to-day because of a knee injury, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.

Footballguys view: As Fansided's Clayton Anderson noted, after missing the last two NFL seasons due to multiple knee injuries, Jordan's opportunities to show his value to the organization were slowly dissipating. That said, there is no reason to believe it's a severe injury at this point. It does put his availability for Thursday's preseason game versus the Chargers into question. According to CBSSports.com, until Jordan is back, rookie second-rounder Marlin Klein could see an uptick in reps.

Eagles | Dae'Quan Wright let go Mon Aug 10, 05:35 PM

Philadelphia Eagles TE Dae'Quan Wright was waived Monday, Aug. 10.

Dolphins | Greg Dulcich takes part in practice Mon Aug 10, 03:26 PM

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (hand) fully participated in practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Dulcich has been working in a red no-contact jersey. He's dealing with a right hand or finger injury that was reportedly heavily taped, so his return to full-contact work is encouraging. Once healthy, Dulcich is expected to operate as the top receiving tight end in a new-look Dolphins offense that lacks an established pecking order among its pass catchers.

Panthers | Chamon Metayer let go Mon Aug 10, 01:04 PM

Carolina Panthers TE Chamon Metayer was waived Monday, Aug. 10.

Patriots | Hunter Henry extended Mon Aug 10, 09:46 AM

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry signed a two-year, $16 million extension Monday, Aug. 10. The deal is worth up to $20 million and includes $14.5 million guaranteed and a $4.2 million signing bonus.

Footballguys view: Henry has been one of quarterback Drake Maye's go-to targets in critical situations. Henry has logged 40-plus receptions in each of his five seasons with the Patriots, which is the second-longest streak by a Patriots tight end all time behind Ben Coates' six. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he totaled a career-high 768 receiving yards and enters this year third on the franchise's all-time list for receptions among tight ends (259). Henry, who finished 2025 as TE9, is being drafted as TE19.

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson impressing in camp Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM

Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson has shown a 'clear connection' with QB Dak Prescott on intermediate and seam throws during training camp, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: This might be more newsworthy if it was about a player who wasn't already fantasy relevant last season. In fact, Ferguson was the #1 tight end in fantasy leagues for a bit thanks to a spike in target volume when CeeDee Lamb was hurt. By the end of the season, Ferguson was a non-factor, so this is good news if you have been drafting him in spite of the second half swoon.

Colts | Multiple tight ends worked out Thu Aug 6, 06:26 PM

Dolphins | Greg Dulcich day-to-day Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of an undisclosed injury.

Footballguys view: The team has revealed that Dulcich's injury is to his right hand/finger and that he may miss a week or two before he returns. The tight end has a chance to lead the team in targets and receptions because the wide receiver group is inexperienced. The sooner he can take reps with new starting quarterback Malik Willis, the better.

NFL | Zach Ertz wants to play in 2026 Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM

Free agent TE Zach Ertz officially has been cleared for all football activities and wants to play this season, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Footballguys view: Ertz tore his ACL last year in Week 14 playing for the Commanders. The 35-year old tight end may not be the player he used to be, but he did post 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns last year. Now that he's been medically cleared, Ertz should have interest from a few teams in need of veteran depth at the position.

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq suffered setback Tue Aug 4, 11:40 AM

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) suffered a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery and will miss time. Head coach Aaron Glenn is confident Sadiq will be ready for the regular season.

Footballguys view: Sadiq, who was the 16th overall pick in April, had the procedure in May. 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods, and Chase Curtis remain available at tight end for the Jets. While Sadiq has considerable value in dynasty leagues, his redraft ADP -- TE21 -- reflects skepticism about the short-term outlook.

Giants | Isaiah Likely to be a featured option Mon Aug 3, 10:32 AM

New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely is expected to be a utility weapon rather than a traditional tight end, and the team seems intent on featuring him in all three levels. The Giants move him throughout the formation, and he has displayed clear early chemistry with QB Jaxson Dart.

Footballguys view: Consider Likely the replacement for Wan'Dale Robinson, who gave Jaxson Dart a high percentage target in the short range passing game last year. Robinson is with the Titans now, where he will play that same role for Cam Ward. Likely, like Robinson, followed his previous head coach to a new team, so we shouldn't worry about how he is viewed. Head coach John Harbaugh has already said that Likely's stats will go up in his new home.
