Comes off IR
Hendershot (calf) was activated from injured reserve Monday and does not have an injury designation for Wednesday's Week 17 matchup versus Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Hendershot had been on IR since late November due to a calf injury. He was designated to return Monday and estimated as a full practice participant both Monday and Tuesday. With no injury designation for Wednesday's game, Hendershot appears set to return to action against the Steelers. He'll presumably work as the Chiefs' third tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray while also contributing on special teams.

Designated to return from IR
The Chiefs designated Hendershot (calf) to return to practice from injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Hendershot was placed on IR in late November after going down with a calf injury versus the Panthers in Week 12. The third-year tight end has now missed the required four games while on IR, which means he could return as early as Wednesday against the Steelers. His practice involvement Tuesday should give the best indication on what his true return timetable will look like.

Going to IR
Kansas City placed Hendershot (calf) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: Hendershot suffered a calf injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, and now he'll be forced to miss at least the Chiefs' next four outings as he recovers. Travis Kelce and Noah Gray are currently the only healthy tight ends on Kansas City's 53-man roster, but the team did add rookie undrafted free agent Baylor Cupp to its practice squad Tuesday.

Back on Chiefs' active roster
The Chiefs signed Hendershot from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Hendershot began the regular season on the Chiefs' active roster but was waived Sept. 16. He oped to stay in Kansas City on the practice squad, but he's back on the 53-man roster after rookie tight end Jared Wiley suffered a torn ACL during Friday's practice. Hendershot will serve as the Chiefs' No. 3 tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray.

Rejoins KC on practice squad
Hendershot signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday after clearing waivers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hendershot was waived from the Chiefs' active roster on Monday after playing seven snaps on special teams in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals. He'll stick around in Kansas City and provide the Chiefs a safety net at tight end should Travis Kelce, Noah Gray or Jared Wiley miss time.

Traded to KC
The Cowboys are trading Hendershot to the Chiefs for a conditional seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It was previously reported that Dallas was waiving the tight end, but the Chiefs apparently were interested and made a small offer to ensure he wouldn't land with a team that had higher waiver priority. Hendershot now slots in at the bottom of Kansas City's depth chart, potentially competing with rookie Jared Wiley for the No. 3 TE role.

Suits up for preseason finale
Hendershot caught his only target for a 10-yard gain in Saturday's 26-19 preseason loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The third-year tight end has been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of training camp, but Hendershot was able to play in the Cowboys' preseason finale and haul in his lone pass late in the first quarter. With Jake Ferguson and 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker locked in atop the tight end depth chart, Hendershot is in a fierce battle with John Stephens, Brevyn Spann-Ford and others for one of the team's final roster spots.

Analysis: Hendershot was forced to sit out the team's "mock game" at practice as the Cowboys gear up for their first preseason contest Sunday on the road versus the Rams.

Hendershot (ankle) was seen participating in 7-on-7 drills at practice Friday, Nick Harris and Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Hendershot missed nine regular-season games in 2023 due to a lingering ankle injury, and he opted to undergo surgery in February. The third-year tight end out of Indiana appears to have fully recovered from the procedure, and he looks to be competing with John Stephens for the No. 3 tight end role behind Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker.

Tough sophomore campaign
Hendershot (foot) caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in eight regular-season games in 2023.
Analysis: The second-year tight end had trouble staying healthy, and Hendershot's usage as a receiver declined even when he was in the lineup as Jake Ferguson had a breakout season. With Luke Schoonmaker likely to take on a bigger role in 2024 as well, there don't figure to be many snaps or targets left over for Hendershot next season.

Returns to 53-man roster
Hendershot (ankle) rejoined the active roster Wednesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hendershot was designated to return from IR on Nov. 15, so his 21-day window to practice with the team was up. If he wasn't placed back on the 53-man roster Wednesday, he would have been forced back on injured reserve and missed the remainder of the season. However, the Indiana product has been logging full practices the last three weeks and should be good to go Sunday against the Eagles.

Analysis: There seemed to be some promise that Hendershot might be available for Week 13 after he was a full participant at practice Wednesday, but in the end, he'll miss his ninth straight game Thursday. It appears the Cowboys will wait until Week 14 to activate him instead.

Analysis: Hendershot has been on injured reserve since October but is now closer to making his return.

Could return Week 12
Hendershot (ankle) said he hopes to return from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Commanders, but the Cowboys may wait one more week before activating him, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Hendershot was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, with the move opening up a 21-day window for him to practice with the team before he would need to be activated. He was able to log full practices last week before being held out ahead of Sunday's win over the Panthers. With Dallas facing a quick turnaround for Week 12, the team may opt to be patient and wait for Week 13 to bring Hendershot back into the fold as a depth option at tight end.

Takes next step for return
Hendershot (ankle) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports, and the tight end was a full participant in practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.
Analysis: Hendershot spent the minimum of four weeks on injured reserve before being designated to return. The Indiana product told Gehlken that he feels fresh, although he's not sure if he'll be able to return Sunday against the Panthers, so despite his full participation in practice, he should be considered questionable for the game.

Lands on IR
The Cowboys placed Hendershot (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Hendershot hasn't progressed from his ankle issue as hoped, despite not playing either of the past two weeks, and the tight end now will be forced to miss at least the next four games after landing on IR. As a result, the soonest he can rejoin the lineup is Sunday, Nov. 19 against the Panthers. In Hendershot's absence, Luke Schoonmaker and Sean McKeon will provide depth at tight end behind starter Jake Ferguson.

Iffy for Week 4 game
Hendershot is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots with an ankle injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hendershot was added to the injury report Friday, which is rarely a good sign for a player's prospects of playing Sunday. The second-year tight end has averaged 32 offensive snaps per game through three weeks but has caught just one pass for three yards on two targets. Rookie Luke Schoonmaker would likely see elevated playing time behind starting tight end Jake Ferguson if Hendershot sits.

Quiet showing Saturday
Hendershot caught one of two targets for seven yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: The second-year tight end caught his first pass of the preseason late in the first quarter, contributing to Dallas' first TD drive of the night. Hendershot seems ensconced in the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker, especially with promising undrafted rookie John Stephens having suffered a season-ending ACL tear Saturday. In a similar role in 2022, Hendershot caught 11 of 16 targets for 103 yards and two TDs, while adding a third score on a two-yard carry --…read more

Three TDs in first NFL season
Hendershot (hamstring) caught 11 of 16 targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season games in 2022. He also added a two-yard rushing TD on his only carry.
Analysis: An undrafted rookie out of Indiana, Hendershot impressed in training camp and won the No. 3 spot on the tight end depth chart to begin the season, a role that wound up leading to some fantasy value thanks to his nose for the end zone, even if he didn't see more than one target in any game after the Cowboys' Week 9 bye. Dalton Schultz is a free agent this offseason, and if he heads elsewhere, Hendershot could see a much more significant role in the Dallas offense in 2023, though he'd likely…read more

Analysis: Hendershot wasn't added to the team's injury report until Saturday. He suffered an injury in Monday's win over the Buccaneers, which at the time was described as a hip or groin issue and will force him out for the divisional round.

Analysis: Hendershot was forced out with a hip injury sustained at some point during the first quarter.

Exits versus Tampa Bay
Hendershot is questionable to return to Monday's playoff game against the Buccaneers with a thigh injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Hendershot was deemed questionable to return midway through the first quarter, so it's likely this injury occurred early during Monday's contest. The 23-year-old tight end has logged four targets over the Cowboys' past nine games, and his absence should leave Sean McKeon to take on a bigger role behind Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson for the time being.

Gets into end zone again
Hendershot caught his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: The rookie made a great catch in the second quarter despite tight coverage from Jacksonville linebacker Devin Lloyd to haul in his second receiving TD of the season, and third score overall. Hendershot has seen only three targets over the last six games with top tight end Dalton Schultz healthy, but his occasional flashes of big-play ability bode well for his NFL future.

Nabs rushing TD
Hendershot turned his only carry into a two-yard touchdown during Thursday's win over the Giants.
Analysis: The Cowboys' tight end room had a lot to be thankful for after the game. In addition to Hendershot's score on a jet sweep in the fourth quarter, Dalton Schultz caught two touchdown passes and Jake Ferguson made highlight reels by hurdling a New York defender on a 30-yard reception. Hendershot's spot on the depth chart affords him few touches, but the rookie is on his way to becoming an effective H-back in the NFL.

Two grabs against Chicago
Hendershot caught both his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's win over the Bears.
Analysis: Dalton Schultz appeared healthy and posted his best numbers since Week 1, but Hendershot still had a role in the offense. The rookie tight end heads into Dallas' Week 9 bye having caught exactly two passes in three straight games, including his first career TD, but his role isn't likely to expand beyond that as long as Schultz is in the lineup.

Hauls in first career TD
Hendershot caught both his targets for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Lions.
Analysis: The rookie tight end was wide open in the back of the end zone on a two-yard strike from Dak Prescott late in the fourth quarter, giving Hendershot his first TD in the NFL. With Dalton Schultz healthy and fellow rookie Jake Ferguson also flashing this season when he's gotten the opportunity, however, Hendershot is little more than a dart throw from a fantasy perspective, even if the Dallas passing game takes a step forward with Prescott back under center.
