Goedert (knee) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Goedert hasn't been on the field for either of the Eagles' first two practices of Week 14 prep, with his absences having been fully expected after Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday that the tight end was considered week-to-week due to the knee injury he sustained in this past Sunday's win over the Ravens. With Goedert on track to miss this weekend's game against the Panthers and potentially additional time beyond that, Grant Calcaterra is expected to step in as the Eagles' top tight end.

Sanders (neck) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Sanders made an early exit from a Week 12 loss to the Chiefs due to a neck injury, which required a cart for him to get to the locker room and a hospital visit for further evaluation. He didn't practice at all last week before the Panthers ruled him out for this past Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Sanders got back on the field Wednesday but was donning a red non-contact jersey, leaving him limited. One day later, he had ditched that jersey, per Joe Person of The Athletic, but Sanders' activity level remained the same. Sanders thus will have one more session to prove his health ahead of Sunday's visit to the Eagles.

The Texans and Jordan agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jordan, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2, looked on pace for a career-high snap share had he not gone down to injury. He played roughly 50 percent of offensive snaps behind top tight end Dalton Schultz in Week 1, his only full appearance of the 2024 season, mostly contributing as a key blocker. Houston's decision to re-sign Jordan, a 2021 fifth-round pick, provides the team some reliable depth for the 2025 campaign.

Sample recorded two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers.

Sample's 39 snaps paced all Cincinnati tight ends, ranking ahead of Mike Gesicki (27), Tanner Hudson (12) and Cam Grandy (nine). Though he's now played more than half of Cincinnati's offensive snaps in each of the last four games, Sample brings most of his value as a blocker and isn't as involved in the passing game as Gesicki and Hudson. Sample has still managed to produce a 7-31-1 receiving line on eight targets over that four-game stretch, exceeding his combined output from the first eight weeks of the season (four catches for 28 yards and no touchdowns on five targets).

Ferguson (concussion) participated in Wednesday's walk-through session, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Cowboys host the Bengals on Monday night in Week 14, so the team won't issue its first injury report until Thursday. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for Ferguson's likelihood of returning to game action that he was able to take part Wednesday in what Moore deemed a "mock game." Ferguson has missed both of the Cowboys' past two contests after suffering a concussion Week 11 against Houston, and though he was on the field Wednesday, it's not yet certain whether he's cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

Higbee (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Going back to last week, Higbee now has put together two straight uncapped sessions as he seeks his first game action since suffering ACL and MCL tears in his right knee back on Jan. 14. His return isn't expected to happen Sunday versus the Bills, as head coach Sean McVay relayed Monday that Higbee was "less likely than likely" to be available for that contest, per Cameron DaSilva of USA Today. As long as Higbee remains on the reserve/PUP list, the trio of Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long will serve as the Rams' tight ends.

Oliver (ankle/wrist) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Oliver wasn't able to practice in any capacity the past two weeks while missing both of the Vikings' games due to a sprained ankle and a wrist injury, but the tight end's ability to handle every rep Wednesday in his return to the field indicates he's more or less back to 100 percent. Prior to the recent absence, he recorded multiple catches in four straight contests on his way to a cumulative 14-174-2 line on 16 targets during that stretch. That said, with T.J. Hockenson slowly but surely increasing his snap share since completing his recovery from a torn ACL and making his season debut Week 9, Oliver may see his role decrease in this Sunday's game against the Falcons.

FitzPatrick (back) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

FitzPatrick was estimated as a full practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, suggesting he's recovered from his back injury in time to face Detroit on Thursday night. The Georgia product is expected to see minimal offensive work and serve as the Packers' No. 3 tight end in Week 14, playing behind Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims.

Oliver (ankle/wrist) was on the field for practice Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Oliver will take part in his first practice since injuring his ankle Nov. 17. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expected Oliver to be available for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but the Vikings will wait and see how Oliver fares during the week of practice before deciding on his status. In Oliver's absence the past two games, T.J. Hockenson has seen an enhanced role, playing 68 and 64 percent of the offensive snaps in those two contests while logging a 10-142-0 receiving line on 15 targets. Oliver's return would likely be a negative development for Hockenson.

Moreau (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

With Taysom Hill (knee) out for the season due to a torn ACL, Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) are in line to handle most of the reps at tight end for New Orleans moving forward. However, both players have kicked off Week 14 prep with a cap on their practice reps. Sessions on Thursday and Friday likely will determine whether one or both of the two enters the weekend with designations ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.
