Overview

  • The Cardinals officially signed Kenny Yeboah, a move reported by multiple outlets on Thursday and Friday that adds a veteran tight end to Arizona’s offseason roster.
  • Yeboah missed all of the 2025 season after an undisclosed injury but is now reported healthy and cleared to participate in team activities.
  • He is valued chiefly for his blocking rather than receiving production, with nine career catches for 111 yards and one touchdown across 33 NFL games.
  • Yeboah will compete for a backup role behind starter Trey McBride against Elijah Higgins, Tip Reiman, Teagan Quitoriano and other tight ends on the roster.
  • The signing is a low-cost, short-term depth move that fits head coach Mike LaFleur’s run-focused offense and could affect roster spots and special teams assignments during training camp.
