  • Mulling retirement, Darren Waller absent from OTAs
    Giants HC Brian Daboll said Darren Waller has not been attending voluntary OTAs.

    Advice: Waller will likely remain away as he continues to contemplate his future. Giants GM Joe Schoen said last month that the team is not giving Waller a deadline to make a decision, but as training camp draws closer, we’d expect things to be finalized one way or another. Waller once again dealt injuries that limited him to 12 games last season and averaged just 10.6 YPR, his lowest total since breaking out with the Raiders in 2019. While he’s still the best tight end on the Giants’ roster, nagging injuries have followed him for three straight seasons, and he will turn 32 shortly after the start of the season. Waller’s uncertain future has made him virtually free to draft in early drafts, making him a low-risk, medium-reward player at a position that lacks upside outside of the top players.

  • Waived-injured by Atlanta
    The Falcons waived Fisk with an injury designation Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Fisk appeared in six games for the Falcons last season, seeing action on 72 offensive snaps and catching his only target for nine yards. The 25-year-old will land on injured reserve if he clears waivers, and there's a chance he's later cut with an injury settlement. The nature of his injury isn't clear. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:38 pm

  • Missing time with hamstring injury
    Barner won't participate in OTAs this week due to a hamstring injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Barner missed all of rookie minicamp with the injury and still hasn't made a full recovery. Though Barner will lose out on some valuable reps prior to training camp, the Seahawks haven't indicated that the injury is anything that will affect the fourth-round rookie's availability heading into the 2024 season. Barner will look to push for playing time behind veteran tight ends Noah Fant and Pharaoh Brown after the Seahawks let Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson walk in free agency.

  • Luke Schoonmaker (hamstring) out for OTAs
    Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken reports Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker will miss OTAs with a hamstring injury.

    Advice: The hamstring is the latest in a string of injury issues for the 2023 second-rounder. He also had a foot injury prior to the 2023 season and underwent shoulder surgery earlier this offseason. Schoonmaker will need to nurse the hamstring throughout the offseason to be ready, but he will already be behind Jake Ferguson on the Cowboys’ tight end depth chart to enter the season.

  • Limited for OTAs
    Stephens (knee) will be working on the side as the Cowboys open OTAs on Wednesday, as he continues to recover from a torn ACL suffered last August, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: Last May, Stephens signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of Louisiana, but he lost any chance he had at making the team due to the season-ending injury suffered in a preseason contest. Though still not 100 percent healthy, the 24-year-old tight end is getting closer to full strength. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:41 pm

  • Not participating during OTAs
    Latu (knee) was present but not participating during San Francisco's OTAs on Tuesday, Kyle Madson of USA Today reports.

    Advice: The 2023 third-round pick missed his entire rookie campaign after sustaining a meniscus injury during the 49ers' last preseason game, but it seems as if he could be nearing a return. Latu, an Alabama product, caught 56 passes for 787 yards and 12 touchdowns during his final two collegiate seasons. Once Latu is able to return to the field, he's expected to compete with Eric Saubert, Brayden Willis, Mason Pline and Jake Tonges for San Francisco's top backup tight end spot behind George Kittle.

  • Taking part in OTAs
    Woods (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's OTAs session, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Woods looks back to full health after injuries to both hamstrings cost him the entire 2023 season. The 2022 third-round pick showed some promise as a rookie, so if he can put together a solid offseason and build up chemistry with second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, Woods could be a solid post-hype sleeper to target late in 2024 fantasy drafts, especially in dynasty formats or leagues that feature tight end premium scoring.

  • Picked up by Jets
    The Jets signed Foelsch on Wednesday.

    Advice: After going undrafted this past April, Foelsch had a brief stint in Carolina and has now found a new home in New York. The New Haven product caught 73 passes for 660 yards and 16 touchdowns throughout his four-year collegiate career. Foelsch is expected to compete for a depth role in the Jets' tight end room as the offseason progresses. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 pm

  • Missing OTAs with hamstring issue
    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Schoonmaker (shoulder) could miss the entirety of OTAs due to a hamstring injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, McCarthy confirmed that Schoonmaker's rehab from shoulder surgery has gone well, but the young tight end is now tending to a new injury. The 2023 second-round pick has had issues staying healthy in his young career, as he previously missed time last spring after being drafted due to a foot issue. Despite batting the shoulder problem as a rookie, Schoonmaker still appeared in all 17 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:56 am
