Bryant was not targeted over 17 snaps in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.
Bryant is operating as the backup tight end to Dalton Schultz following injuries to Brevin Jordan (knee), Irv Smith (ankle) and Cade Stover (foot). Of the three injured players, only Stover is expected to play again in 2025, which means, at a minimum, Bryant will get consistent playing time for the next two weeks. He has zero catches on one target through two games, however.

Harrison Bryant: Headed to active roster
Rotowire
The Texans are planning on signing Bryant to their 53-man roster Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 27-year-old failed to make the Texans' initial 53-man roster in late August and spent time with the practice squad. However, with the Cade Stover sustaining a broken foot in Houston's Week 1 loss, Bryant is expected to be added to the team's active roster. He'll likely play as a depth piece in the Texans' tight end corps while Stover remains sidelined.

Harrison Bryant: Sticking with Texans
Rotowire
Houston signed Bryant to its practice squad Thursday.
Bryant was a casualty of cutdown day Tuesday, but he's sticking with Houston after the team acquired him in a trade with the Eagles on Aug. 17. Bryant has substantial NFL experience, playing in 78 regular-season games across five NFL campaigns. The Texans have just two healthy tight ends (Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover) on their 53-man roster, so Bryant is in good position to be elevated early in the campaign.

Harrison Bryant: Released by Texans
Rotowire
The Texans released Bryant on Tuesday.
Bryant played 13 games with the Raiders last season and posted nine catches (12 targets) for 86 yards. He signed with the Eagles in March and was subsequently traded to the Texans on Aug. 17 in a deal that had John Metchie going the other way. However, Bryant couldn't carve out a role, so the Texans' initial 53-man roster will feature tight ends Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Remaining out Week 12
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup versus Denver.
Bryant injured his ankle Week 9 against Cincinnati and will miss his second consecutive contest following the Raiders' Week 10 bye.

Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer will lead Las Vegas' tight-end corps against the Broncos.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Bryant started the Raiders' week of practice with a DNP but followed that up with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting that he could be trending toward playing in Sunday's divisional matchup. The first-year Raider has caught nine of his 12 targets for 86 yards through eight appearances this season. If Bryant is sidelined for the second consecutive game in Week 12, Justin Shorter is likely to serve as the Raiders' No. 3 tight end.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Opens week as DNP
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Bryant was sidelined for the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins due to an ankle injury, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. He likely needs to get back on the field in a limited capacity either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Las Vegas' Week 12 matchup against the Broncos. If Bryant is unable to do so, expect Justin Shorter to serve as the Raiders' No. 3 tight end.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Won't play Week 11
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Bryant was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, but his ankle injury was serious enough to prevent him from seeing the field Friday, and the 2020 fourth-round pick will be sidelined Sunday for the second time this season. With Bryant sidelined, Justin Shorter will serve as the Raiders' No. 2 tight end behind rookie starter Brock Bowers.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Able to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bryant suffered an ankle injury in Week 9 against the Bengals, and even with the Raiders coming off a Week 10 bye, the issue kept him off the practice field Wednesday. His ability to return Thursday indicates he's progressing through the issue, and if he can practice Friday, he'll give himself a shot at playing against Miami on Sunday. Over his last three games, Bryant has logged seven catches (on nine targets) for 65 yards.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Opens week as DNP
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
It appears Bryant is still dealing with the ankle injury sustained in the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Bengals, despite having a Week 10 bye. The 26-year-old tight end likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to take the field in Week 11, when the Raiders face the Dolphins. If he's unable to do so, expect Justin Shorter to serve as Las Vegas' No. 2 tight end Sunday.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Cleared for Week 9
Rotowire
Bryant (elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
Bryant has filled in for Michael Mayer (NFI - personal) as the in-line/blocking TE since September, with John Samuel Shenker then getting more playing time when Bryant missed Week 8. It's not a role with much fantasy appeal, but Bryant's return may cost Brock Bowers a few snaps/routes.

Bryant is nursing an elbow injury to open the week, forcing him to sit out the team's first practice session ahead of Sunday's matchup with Kansas City. The tight end will have two more chances to return to the field this week in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 8.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Dealing with elbow injury
Rotowire
Bryant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to an elbow injury.
Bryant suffered the injury during the second half of Sunday's game, and he was taken to the locker room after being checked out by trainers on the sideline. If his day is done, he'll finish with two catches on as many targets for 19 yards. John Samuel Shenker and Justin Shorter will see more backup tight end snaps behind starter Brock Bowers as long as Bryant is sidelined.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Pair of receptions in victory
Rotowire
Bryant caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
Bryant filled in for the sidelined Michael Mayer (personal) as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie Brock Bowers, but Bryant actually matched Bower's two receptions despite seeing one fewer target. Bryant could see a similar level of involvement against the Broncos in Week 5 if Mayer remains out.
