Analysis: We'll circle back on Gresham's status later Friday to see how the Bengals officially list him for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but his return to the field is clearly a good sign with regards to his Week 14 status after he sat out Thursday' practice.

Gresham (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: Gresham was limited Wednesday, so this is a bit concerning. We'll revisit the tight end's status after Friday's practice, but just in case, Gresham owners should probably start looking into a plan B before it's too late.

Overall, he is 10th among NFL tight ends with 49.4 receiving yards per game and his five TDs ties him for eighth place. So far there is nothing to suggest that his availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys is in any danger, but we'll let you know if that changes.

Analysis: Gresham now has two touchdowns in his last three games, with a 108-yard performance before that. He's been targeted at least four times in every game this season and remains a decent fantasy prospect moving forward.

Analysis: Gresham, a free agent in around 85 percent of NFL.com leagues, is well worth a look as a one-week starter against the Broncos.

Gresham an intriguing prospect

In his "Under the Headset" analysis, Brian Billick notes "every year, I find myself more and more intrigued with Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham." READ: BILLICK OBSERVATIONS

Analysis: Gresham has been a sneaky fantasy play, currently ranked 9th among all TEs with 42.60 points. He should be leaned on this week against a Steelers' secondary which ranks third against the pass.

Analysis: Gresham got the scoring off to a good start, scoring on a 55-yard slant in the first quarter, but was mostly quiet afterward.

Gresham had five catches for 64 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Redskins.

Analysis: Gresham was targeted seven times, second most on the team behind wideout A.J. Green. It was the tight end's first touchdown of the season and he could be a solid contributor moving forward, as quarterback Andy Dalton is really starting to establish himself as a quality signal caller.

Analysis: Given the uncertainly in the Bengals' receiving corps beyond A.J. Green, Gresham figures to be one of QB Andy Dalton's favorite targets out of the gate.

Gresham (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: Gresham is fully expected to start Week 1, as he is listed as probable, but he has a difficult matchup against the Ravens.

Analysis: Gresham had been expected to play in the Bengals' regular season opener against Baltimore and his full practice participation Thursday solidifies that notion.

Jermaine Gresham: Expected Back For Week 1

Gresham (knee) will miss the remainder of the preseason but is expected to play in the regular season opener against Baltimore, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: Gresham's absence has been felt both in the passing game and in the running game, as he's the team's best run blocking tight end.

Gresham (knee) is inactive for Thursday's preseason game against the Packers, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: Gresham is dealing with a sprained knee, which is naturally of some concern, but so far there has been nothing to indicate that a major injury is in play here.

Gresham (sprained knee) did not practice Monday, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: At this point, it seems unlikely that Gresham's sprained knee will allow him to suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Packers.

The injury that Gresham suffered Thursday is being called a sprained knee, Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis: Until we know more details regarding the severity of the sprain, we'll classify Gresham as day-to-day, but this close to Week 1, it's fair to wonder if the tight end will be ready (or at full strength if he is) for the Bengals' season opener.

Jermaine Gresham: Knee Injury Appears Minor

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said Gresham was "fine" after injuring his knee during Thursday's preseason game, Bengals.com reports.

Analysis: Gresham's injury appears to have been minor, as he was able to walk off the field, and he even said after the game that he could play in next week's exhibition game. The injury doesn't seem to be overly concerning, but there's always a chance the team holds him out of the next preseason game as a precaution.

Jermaine Gresham: Right Knee Injury

Gresham suffered a right knee injury during Thursday's preseason game against the Falcons and will not return, Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis: Gresham was able to walk around on the sidelines, so the injury doesn't appear especially serious. However, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if he missed some practice as a result.

Analysis: Gresham came down with all five of the passes thrown his way, and led the team in both catches and yardage.

Analysis: Given how much the Texans had given up against tight ends in previous games, this has to be a disappointment for Gresham and his fantasy owners.

Gresham had five catches for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns.

Analysis: Gresham made a particularly athletic play on the touchdown, outleaping a Browns defender for the ball. He was targeted nine times overall and will surely be busy again against the Steelers in Week 13.

Gresham finished with three receptions for 48 yards in Sunday's loss against the Ravens.

Analysis: Gresham's day could have been a lot better, as what appeared to be a fourth quarter touchdown was reversed after review. The play was reminiscent of Calvin Johnson's "laying the ball on the ground in the endzone" last season. Gresham's production has been mediocre since missing three games due to injury, and he's best left on your fantasy bench until he shows he can get back to his early season success.

Analysis: Gresham grabbed four of the five passes thrown his way after missing several games with his hamstring injury.

Gresham (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Analysis: Gresham was a limited participant in practice Friday although with Donald Lee unable to play, he will likely get all the work on Sunday. The Steelers present a tough matchup for rookie Andy Dalton, which should certainly have an effect on Gresham's fantasy upside.

Gresham (hamstring) returned to practice in a limited fashion Friday, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: Fellow tight end Donald Lee is out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, so we'd be surprised if Gresham, who was officially listed as questionable Friday, didn't give it a go this weekend.

Gresham (hamstring), who was limited at practice Wednesday, did not suit up for Thursday's workout, the Bengals' official site reports.

Analysis: Fellow tight end Donald Lee did not practice Thursday as well, so what (if anything) the duo is able to do Friday will be key to the team's depth at the position this weekend.

Analysis: The Bengals have a huge home game against the Steelers in Week 10 and would really prefer to have one of their better weapons in the passing offense available.

Gresham (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Analysis: It's the second missed game in a row for Gresham, whose status beyond this week remains cloudy. Donald Lee will serve as Cincinnati's top tight end Sunday, and showed last week he had a bit left in the tank by catching three passes for 44 yards against Seattle. Still, Lee isn't really a fantasy consideration outside of the absolute deepest of leagues.

Gresham is doubtful for Sunday's game according to the official injury report.

Analysis: Gresham hasn't practiced all week is almost certainly out. Former Packer Donald Lee will start in Gresham's place.
