Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson is a healthy scratch. Parkinson carried a questionable tag following Friday's practice after logging three straight limited sessions. However, the 26-year-old was able to turn the corner. Parkinson was unable to play in Week 2 but operated as the team's No. 2 tight end in the season opener. In this contest, Parkinson caught both of his targets for -6 yards. This afternoon, managers should expect Parkinson to return to a reserve role as Tyler Higbee should see the majority of the snaps as the lead tight end.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington made the most of his only target, scoring on a 19-yard pass from quarterback Mason Rudolph in a 31-25 preseason victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The third-year pro operated as the team's starting tight end on Saturday with Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith both inactive. His touchdown capped off the Steelers' opening drive and sparked what would become a strong offensive showcase for the rest of the contest. Although it's unclear exactly how Washington will be deployed this season, the 23-year-old has reportedly had an excellent camp and has been praised by starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He'll look to build on this performance next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
