Carries no injury designation ahead of Saturday's matchup vs the Lions, had been tending to a rib injury, but hasn't missed any time and is good to go for this weekend's game

He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice from a concussion sustained this past Sunday, he is still in concussion protocol and will need to be cleared before being considered active for W16 at New Orleans, that determination may come at the end of the practice week on Friday

Ruled out of the Week 15 game against the Saints with a concussion sustained in the 2nd quarter.

Zach Ertz spent 7 games last season with Arizona recovering from a torn ACL, but was then placed on IR with a quad strain that ended his season. In those 7 games, he saw 43 targets, proving he can still be productive with Washington despite his injury history. Ertz is on top of the depth chart but will likely split time with a very young tight end room, including rookie Ben Sinnott, third-year pro John Bates, and second-year pro Cole Turner.

New addition to Lions is still recovering from torn left knee ACL he suffered in mid-September 2022 - missed portion of Cardinals' season with left quad strain but is fully healthy from that

Placed on IR with a quad strain - likely on his left ACL recovery side - will miss 4 games with a chance to return Week 12 - Trey McBride is in line for more work at tight end in the meantime
