Brock Wright News
Thursday, December 4, 6:25 PM
The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday before their game against the Dallas Cowboys that they placed tight end Brock Wright (neck) on Injured Reserve. In corresponding moves, the team signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad and also elevated wide receiver Malik Cunningham from the practice squad. Wright will join Sam LaPorta (back) on IR and won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Chicago Bears on Jan. 4. With both Wright and LaPorta sidelined, Ross Dwelley figures to see the most TE snaps for the Lions, with Anthony Firkser also being involved. Both tight ends are more of blockers than pass-catchers, though, and should be avoided in most fantasy football leagues. In last week's loss to the Packers, Dwelley and Firkser combined for two catches on four targets for just seven yards.

Eli Stowers News
Wednesday, September 9, 8:42 PM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Eli Stowers (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, according to the team's official injury report. The second-round rookie initially suffered the injury during training camp, and now it's lingering into the start of the regular season. At this point, there is a chance that Stowers will be sidelined for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, delaying his NFL debut. On the other hand, if he upgrades to a full participant in either of the next two days, he should be cleared to play. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to the Eagles' next two injury reports for additional updates. Regardless of whether he plays, Stowers will remain off the redraft radar in his role as the No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert.
