Kenny Yeboah - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Gets released with injury settlement Arizona released Yeboah (hamstring) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Impact Yeboah was on track to spend the whole 2026 season on IR with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Cardinals' preseason opener, but he'll now hit free agency instead. His last regular-season snaps came in 2024 with the Jets, when over nine games, he caught five of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

Lands on IR The Cardinals placed Yeboah (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Yeboah injured his hamstring during the Cardinals' 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game. The injury is severe enough for Yeboah to go on IR, which means he won't be eligible to play in 2026 unless an injury settlement is reached with Arizona. Yeboah has not seen NFL regular-season action since 2024 with the Jets and was battling for a depth spot on the Cardinals' 53-man roster prior to his season-ending injury.

Questionable to return Thursday Yeboah suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable to return to Thursday night's preseason contest against the Panthers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Yeboah sustained the injury in the third quarter, and he may not be able to return to action before the end of the contest. The tight end reeled in both of his targets for 10 yards before his departure. In his absence, Teagan Quitoriano and Rivaldo Fairweather are candidates to see added reps at tight end versus Carolina.

Signs with Arizona Yeboah (knee) signed with the Cardinals on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact The tight end appears to be healthy again after missing the 2025 campaign with a knee issue. Yeboah saw regular-season action each year with the Jets from 2021-2024, though he played more on special teams than offense during most of that time.

Released from IR Detroit released Yeboah (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday.

Sent to IR The Lions placed Yeboah (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday.

Impact Yeboah's placement on IR rules him out for the entire 2025 season, barring an injury settlement. It remains to be seen whether his current injury is related to the leg issue that held him out early during training camp, though he managed to suit up for Detroit's preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday.

AUGUST 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Past leg issue Yeboah (leg) suited up for the Lions' preseason game against the Falcons on Friday.

Impact Yeboah has been working through a leg injury that he suffered during the Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers on July 31. He was healthy enough to make himself available for Friday's game, though he didn't play a single snap. Yeboah could have a larger role in the Lions' third preseason game against the Dolphins on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Moving to NFC The Lions signed Yeboah to a one-year contract Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Yeboah played his first four NFL campaigns with the Jets, with most of his work during that span coming on special teams. He did log a career-high five catches and 47 receiving yards last season while nabbing his first NFL touchdown Week 11 against Indianapolis. The Lions have Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright leading their tight-end corps, so Yeboah's role will likely center around blocking and special teams.

One catch in season debut Yeboah (abdomen) caught his only target for 12 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.

Impact Yeboah was activated from IR prior to the win. He played only four snaps on offense in his season debut, but the third-string tight end still made an important contribution, as his 12-yard catch on third down extended a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Davante Adams' first touchdown reception as a Jet. Yeboah is unlikely to challenge Tyler Conklin for the starting job, but Jeremy Ruckert's No. 2 spot on the depth chart is attainable.
