The Arizona Cardinals have placed safety Joey Blount on the Injured Reserve list, ending his season. Blount was noted for his significant contributions on special teams
The Cardinals placed a couple of players on injured reserve on Saturday. Safety Joey Blount and tight end Kenny Yeboah both landed on the list. Neither player will be eligible to be activated during the regular season, although they could play this year if they are released with an injury settlement at some point in the future. Blount was injured during practice this week. He suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 1 of the 2025 season, so it’s back-to-back bad breaks for Blount. Yeboah’s hamstring injury occurred in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. He signed with the Cardinals in June and last saw regular season action with the Jets in 2024
The Arizona Cardinals have a lot of work to do in this year’s training camp. Very few NFL clubs are installing a new offense this year, but the Cardinals are. So, a lot of time and effort will be geared toward getting the scheme installed where everyone is on the same page. This is one thing that training camp is for. Plus, new veterans and rookies that haven’t been to the desert yet and need to become acclimated to the area, its climate, and the task at hand. RELATED: EXPECTATIONS FOR TIP REIMAN Now that training camp is on us, let’s look at the tight end room. This year’s group can’t just be Trey McBride and nothing else. There should be a lot of improvement with this group even though some members became injured, which is not their fault. But other players must step up and be productive and not just a jersey nameplate. There are seven tight ends in camp. New this year are Teagan Quitoriano from the Atlanta Falcons , former San Francisco 49er Kenny Yeboah , and undrafted rookie Jameson Geers. Cardinals’ TE depth chart Starting tight end: Trey McBride TE2: Tip Reiman TE3: Elijah Higgins TE4: Kenny Yeboah, Teagan Quitoriano, Rivaldo Fairweather , Jameson Geers McBride (6’-4”, 246 pounds) is a beast. The entire league knows what his skill set is. This new offense is predicated on the short passing game and running the ball. That falls right into McBride’s wheelhouse. He has gone from 104 targets to 111 and 169 last season. Marvin Harrison, Sr. has the record for the most targets in a single season with 205. If Vegas is putting a line on McBride breaking that plateau, take the over. 126 catches last year; take that a notch up to over 150 on his way to a First Team All-Pro nod. Truly, this Rams/49ers offense elevates the tight end position. Who is the highest-paid tight end? Hint: Plays for the Niners. Now comes the tricky part. This new offense needs a minimum of three good tight ends. That is mandatory. Tip Reiman (6’-5”, 271 pounds) hasn’t been used to catching the ball in college, but he is actually a very good receiver. In past offenses, he wasn’t thrown the ball, but in this new offense he can expect to gain 500-600 yards. And since he is just shy of being an offensive tackle as far as body size, he is an exceptional blocker. So, who comes next? Who takes the fourth and final roster spot for tight ends? There are five candidates, and training camp will reveal which two. This group can shine if the correct quarterback is found early enough. McBride is pretty durable, so that shouldn’t become an issue. If his backup and TE3 become injured, this offense will spit and sputter. Reiman had a horrible injury last year. Elijah Higgins (6’-3”, 245 pounds) is really a good play on his own. He could very well be paired with McBride with Reiman the third guy. But Higgins will need more than the 37 targets he received last year. Throw him the ball. He has good hands, but the knock on him is pretty huge. He doesn’t get separation from his linebacker or safety. The worst-case scenario this year is what happened last season: it was McBride, and basically nothing else with this group. This offense will live and die with the tight end room. This group will become the shining star of this new offense. Cardinals’ fans will soon know every tight end on the roster. A steady flow of short passes will become the tight end’s resume. This new offense doesn’t throw deep much, but the short passing game along with a steady run game will move the sticks into the Red Zone. Yards for stats won’t be generated in large chunks but in steady increments, which fits in the tight end wheelhouse tremendously. Higgins can be another huge receiving target in this offense. He is not huge like Reiman, but he has a large catch radius and can be a mismatch with a safety. His route running is sparse, and yes, he lacks top-end speed, but he knows how to get to the high point of the throw and has decent YAC numbers. Nobody is asking Higgins to be Mc [... truncated ...]
The Arizona Cardinals are adding Kenny Yeboah to their tight end group. Yeboah, who previously played for the Jets and Lions, brings blocking skills that align with the Cardinals' run-heavy offensive scheme under head coach Mike LaFleur
The Cardinals will have a new tight end on the roster when they report to training camp this summer. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that they are signing Kenny Yeboah to their 90-man roster. The veteran tried out for the Chiefs at their minicamp this week, but he will head to Arizona rather than stick around Kansas City. Yeboah spent four seasons with the Jets before joining the Lions last year. He went on injured reserve in August and did not play in any games during the regular season. Yeboah had nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in 33 appearances for the Jets
Sleeper status change for Kenny Yeboah (7597). Before: status=Inactive, injury_status=Questionable. After: status=Inactive, injury_status=
What I saw at Chiefs minicamp | The Athletic Here are a few other notes from Tuesday’s practice open to reporters: • Quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued to participate in seven-on-seven drills but not with full-team run-throughs. That’s similar to the over the last two weeks during organized team activities. Mahomes is roughly six months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL he suffered in his left knee. He has stated multiple times this offseason that his personal goal is to return to play Week 1 against the Broncos . • Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane had no helmet and did not participate in practice Tuesday, which oftentimes signals an injury. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is set to talk to reporters again Thursday. • Undrafted free agent right tackle Kahlil Benson was a practice standout, with Chiefs coaches appearing to be high on him. Benson started for national champion Indiana last season and signed with the Chiefs after impressing as a tryout player during rookie minicamp in April. Veteran Jaylon Moore and second-year player Esa Pole return as the top candidates for the starting right tackle job. Chiefs trying out two tight ends | NFL Trade Rumors According to Matt Derrick, the Chiefs are hosting TEs Kenny Yeboah and Mason Pline for tryouts during their minicamp this week. Yeboah, 27, went undrafted out of Ole Miss back in 2021 before catching on with the Jets . He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad before later being promoted to the active roster. Once-Questioned 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Proving Doubters Wrong at OTAs | SI Xavier Worthy , WR, Kansas City Chiefs The Kansas City Chiefs are without No. 1 wide receiver Rashee Rice at OTAs due to yet another off-field legal situation. That’s created some opportunity for other wideouts on the roster. For a Chiefs team trying to recapture postseason contention in 2026, third-year receiver Xavier Worthy has been among the offseason standouts. Worthy has made various eye-opening plays at practice, per local beat reporter Nick Jacobs. Worthy has been more gadget-weapon than every-down receiver for the Chiefs through two seasons, and his sophomore campaign was a disappointment. Perhaps a breakout is coming. 2 Kansas City Chiefs longshots see opposite fates as roster move befalls one and another gains buzz at mandatory minicamp | A to Z Sports According to the NFL’s daily personnel notice for Tuesday, the Chiefs waived UDFA DB Marlen Sewell to make room on the 90-man offseason roster for the reunion with L’Jarius Sneed. The move keeps Kansas City at 19 defensive backs (12 cornerbacks and 7 safeties). A team captain for Vandy, Sewell appeared in 45 career games in college. He recorded 101 total tackles, three passes defended, a half-sack, and one forced fumble, primarily making his mark on special teams. The Chiefs won’t hesitate to cut UDFA developmental talent if there’s a move out there that makes their roster better. Sewell won’t be the first or last player to get called in and informed of his release. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce stars in a new commercial for Six Flags | Kansas City Star Could Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and superstar singer Taylor Swift spend part of their honeymoon at a Six Flags amusement park? That’s highly unlikely of course, but Kelce is a brand ambassador for Six Flags in a deal that was announced in March. “I’m super pumped about this. I can’t wait to get to a Six Flags near you, or get to (Ohio’s) Cedar Point here soon,” Kelce said on the New Heights podcast after he got the new gig. Kelce and his brother, Jason, said they hoped to record a podcast episode at a Six Flags. As part of his deal, Kelce will help market Six Flags parks and provide digital content across social media platforms. Six Flags said it will use Kelce’s NIL (name, image and likeness) in marketing campaigns. To that end, Kelce appears in a new spot for Six Flags in which he receives a gold pass to every amuse [... truncated ...]
