  • Expects to be cut by Eagles

    The Eagles plan to release Darnold, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Arnold was competing for a depth tight end role in Philadelphia but ultimately came up short. The Eagles are doing the veteran a solid by releasing him before the final cut rush commences in order to give him a head start on seeking a new opportunity. The 28-year-old journeyman has spent time with the Saints, Cardinals, Panthers and Jaguars previously in his career.

  • Joins Philly TE corps

    Arnold has agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Arnold caught just nine passes on 13 targets for 135 yards in 17 games with the Jaguars last season, but in 2021 the 28-year-old logged a career-high 35 catches in 11 contests (three with Carolina and eight with Jacksonville). With the Eagles, Arnold will back up clear-cut starter Dallas Goedert, but in the event that Goedert misses any time, Arnold would have a chance to see some pass-catching opportunities in a tight end corps that also includes Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, Tyree Jackson and…read more

  • Nine catches in 2022

    Arnold appeared in all 17 games during the 2022 regular season and caught nine of 13 targets for 135 yards.

    Analysis: Arnold operated as a reserve tight end all season and played more than 15 offensive snaps in just one game. The 27-year-old is scheduled to hit free agency during the offseason, as is Evan Engram and Chris Manhertz. Luke Farrell is the only tight end on Jacksonville's roster currently under contract for 2023.

  • Draws three targets Week 15

    Arnold played 14 of the Jaguars' 67 snaps on offense and finished with a five-yard catch across three targets in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: In one of the best performances of his young career, quarterback Trevor Lawrence peppered the Jaguars' tight ends with targets. Though starter Evan Engram (11 catches for 162 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets) did the heavy lifting, Arnold and Chris Manhertz (one catch for 21 yards) also saw some involvement in the passing offense. So long as Engram is healthy, Arnold and Manhertz are unlikely to see their respective roles expand.

  • Plays just three snaps Sunday

    Arnold played three of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in the team's 28-27 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Arnold went without a target for the first time since Week 6 and tied his lowest snap count of the season. He remains behind Evan Engram and Chris Manhertz on the depth chart at tight end and appears unlikely to see his role expand over the final six weeks of the campaign.

  • Catches lone target

    Arnold secured his only target for 24 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Arnold played 10 of 71 offensive snaps and brought in his only target during the first quarter. The 27-year-old has four receptions for 78 yards on the season as Evan Engram continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end.

  • Makes one reception in Week 5 loss

    Arnold was on the field for eight of the Jaguars' 73 offensive snaps in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans, finishing with a 20-yard reception on two targets.

    Analysis: After working as the Jaguars' top tight end for a six-game stretch in 2021, Arnold has slid down the depth chart in 2022 due to Jacksonville's offseason pickup of Evan Engram. Even though Engram owns a modest 19-168-0 receiving line on 26 targets through the Jaguars' first five games, Arnold doesn't look as though he's gaining much traction in his bid to supplant him as Jacksonville's starter. While playing fewer than 20 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps in all but one of the first five…read more

  • Plays two snaps ahead of cuts

    Arnold played just two first-half snaps and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 28-12 preseason loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Arnold topped Jacksonville's tight end depth chart down the stretch last season after being acquired from Carolina via trade, but he's definitely behind offseason acquisition Evan Engram at this point, and Chris Manhertz seems to also have surpassed Arnold for the No. 2 spot. Arnold didn't do anything to bolster his case to make the team Saturday, but it would be surprising if he got cut, even with 2021 fifth-round pick Luke Farrell also in the mix for a spot at at tight end.

  • Finishes season on sideline

    Arnold (knee) wasn't among the players added to Jacksonville's roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Colts.

    Analysis: Though Jacksonville restored Arnold from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, the tight end ultimately wasn't able to demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from an MCL sprain to gain clearance from injured reserve. He'll conclude the season with six straight absences, but he should head into the offseason as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end after turning in a 28-324-0 receiving line on 41 targets over eight games following his acquisition from Carolina in late September. The Jaguars could…read more

  • Back from COVID list

    The Jaguars activated Arnold (knee) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday and restored him to injured reserve.

    Analysis: Arnold was placed on the list Dec. 27, five days after being designated for return from IR. Now that he's cleared the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol, Arnold can turn his attention to proving that he's fully recovered from the sprained MCL he sustained Week 12. If Arnold fares well in practices Wednesday through Friday, he could be activated ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Colts, potentially stepping back in as the Jaguars' top tight end.

  • Lands on COVID list

    Jacksonville placed Arnold (knee) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Arnold was designated to return from injured reserve last week but must now also contend with the COVID-19 protocols. He'll need to clear said protocols before returning to the practice field, with James O'Shaughnessy and Jacob Hollister currently the team's top available tight end options.

  • Cleared for practice

    The Jaguars designated Arnold (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Jacksonville will now have a 21-day window to evaluate Arnold for a return to the active roster, with the tight end eligible to practice during that time. A sprained MCL has caused Arnold to miss the last three games, but he could be able to play as soon as Sunday's contest against the Jets if he checks out well in practices Wednesday through Friday. Once deemed fully healthy, Arnold will likely overtake James O'Shaughnessy as the No. 1 option on the depth chart.

  • Headed to IR

    Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer said Monday that Arnold (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Arnold sustained a sprained MCL in Sunday's loss to the Falcons and is facing an estimated recovery timetable of 4-to-6 weeks. He'll be forced to miss at least three games due to the injury, and the 26-year-old could be sidelined for the remainder of the season if he fails to meet the short end of the recovery timeline. James O'Shaughnessy is in line to serve as the Jaguars' top tight end while Arnold is sidelined, while Chris Manhertz should also see additional work.

  • Could be done for the year

    Arnold (knee) is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to an MCL sprain suffered during Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Jaguars haven't yet confirmed the severity and details of Arnold's injury, but it looks like the tight end is set for a stint on IR. If his recovery timetable ends up being on the latter end of his window, he could end up missing the rest of the 2021 season. In any case, James O'Shaughnessy will step into the No. 1 role while Arnold is out, with Chris Manhertz also primed to see increased opportunities.

  • Injures knee Sunday

    Arnold was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a knee injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Arnold caught his only target for nine yards. In his absence, James O'Shaughnessy and Chris Manhertz are available to handle the Jaguars' Week 12 tight end duties.

  • Disappears entirely

    Arnold drew zero targets against San Francisco on Sunday.

    Analysis: Arnold had been one of the most targeted tight ends in the league in the five games prior to Sunday, a span in which he saw 38 looks. Therefore, Sunday's disappearing act was especially puzzling. If the Jaguars activate James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) from injured reserve, Arnold could see a reduced role for the balance of the season; O'Shaughnessy drew nine targets on just 56 snaps to start the season before suffering his ankle injury Week 2.

  • Remains involved in loss

    Arnold secured five of seven targets for 67 yards in the Jaguars' 23-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: The journeyman tight end continued to prove an excellent fit in the Jaguars' passing attack, notching team highs in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. Arnold now has between four and eight receptions and at least 60 yards in each of his last three games, keeping him viable in all formats for a Week 11 home matchup against the 49ers.

  • Effective on seven targets

    Arnold caught four passes for 60 yards on seven targets against Buffalo on Sunday.

    Analysis: Arnold was arguably Jacksonville's most effective player on offense, leading the Jaguars in all receiving categories and offering some semblance of a pass-catching threat on a day where the passing attack garnered just 151 yards on 28 attempts. The season-ending injury to DJ Chark left Arnold as one of Jacksonville's only pass catchers with any height or reach, and so far it's resulted in consistent usage for the journeyman tight end most weeks.

  • Busy in blowout loss

    Arnold caught eight receptions for 68 yards on 10 targets against Seattle on Sunday.

    Analysis: Arnold was by far the most effective target for Jacksonville on Sunday, but that's not saying much in a game where quarterback Trevor Lawrence averaged just 4.4 yards per pass on 54 attempts. Arnold should continue to see his target volume benefit from the combination of Jacksonville's dearth of viable pass catchers and the fact the Jaguars are forced to play from behind from relatively early in nearly every game. Arnold could be surprisingly useful going forward in PPR formats, though a Week 9…read more

  • Quiet day in London

    Arnold caught two of five targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Arnold played 62 percent of the offensive snaps and was Jacksonville's lone tight end to receive more than one target. The five targets ranked fourth on the team while QB Trevor Lawrence attempted 41 passes, so he's clearly not a priority in the passing game. Arnold is clearly operating as the Jaguars' No. 1 tight end and could have some streaming value with the team likely to play from behind most weeks, though he certainly shouldn't be considered a regular fantasy option.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Arnold caught six of eight targets for 64 yards against Tennessee on Sunday.

    Analysis: Arnold lost a fumble early in the game, but the 37-19 final score implies it didn't play much of a role in the loss. More importantly than the fumble, Arnold led the Jaguars in all receiving categories -- tying Jamal Agnew for six receptions and eight targets but producing 23 more yards than Agnew did (41). Particularly in light of the Week 4 injury to DJ Chark (ankle), the Jaguars should continue sending the ball in Arnold's direction. Jacksonville sees Miami in Week 6.

  • Two receptions in team debut

    Arnold brought in both his targets for 29 yards in the Jaguars' 24-21 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Arnold took the field just three days after being traded to the Jaguars from the Panthers, and the veteran tight ended finished second in receiving yards to Laviska Shenault on his new squad. Arnold has multiple catches in all four games he's played this season between Carolina and Jacksonville, and he'll now have some extra time to get a grasp on his new playbook ahead of a Week 5 matchup against the Titans a week from Sunday.

  • Officially dealt to Jaguars

    Arnold was traded from the Panthers along with a third-round pick to the Jaguars on Monday in exchange for CB CJ Henderson and a fifth-round pick.

    Analysis: Arnold had a modest role in the Panthers' offense early in the year after signing a two-year deal with the team during the offseason. He brought in seven of 11 targets for 84 yards across the first three weeks of the season, but he'll now have a chance to carve out a larger role in the Jaguars' offense, especially while James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) is on injured reserve.

  • Likely being traded to Jacksonville

    The Panthers are expected to trade Arnold to Jacksonville in a deal that includes Jaguars CB C.J. Henderson, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Arnold didn't have much competition for TE targets in Carolina, but he also wasn't needed for a large role, seeing 11 targets on 38.5 percent snap share through three weeks. He could get more playing time in Jacksonville, as the Jaguars are arguably even weaker than the Panthers at tight end, plus they're more likely to be forced into catch-up mode -- which is when a blocking-challenged TE like Arnold is more likely to see snaps and targets. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Jaguars…read more

  • Catches two passes

    Arnold caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Thursday night's 24-9 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Arnold's only unsuccessful targets came on tight-window throws while taking hits down the seam. Although he's had at least two catches in each game this season, Arnold hasn't enjoyed his signature performance as a Panther yet. In fact, he still played fewer snaps Thursday than fellow tight end Ian Thomas, and rookie Tommy Tremble actually performed the best of the group, finishing with 37 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Carolina's depth at the position has hurt Arnold's upside, but he'll…read more

  • Strong showing Sunday

    Arnold caught three of four targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: The tight end didn't see much target volume against his former club, but Arnold made his chances count, hauling in passes of 19, 19 and 17 yards in the first half to help the Panthers build a 17-0 lead. After a quiet showing in Carolina's opener, the Sam Darnold-D. Arnold connection appears to be gaining some momentum heading into Thursday's clash with a Texans defense that just coughed up 11 catches for 107 yards to Cleveland's tight ends.

  • Just two catches

    Arnold caught two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Arnold approached Week 1 with steady praise from his initial practices as a Panther, but the offseason addition didn't make much of an impact in his regular-season debut for Carolina. In fact, backup Ian Thomas finished with more yards than Arnold, picking up 17 on his lone reception Sunday. Following an underwhelming opening performance, it'll be interesting to see whether Arnold gets more involved Week 2 versus the Saints, one of his former teams.

  • Catches three passes

    Arnold caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in Friday night's 34-9 preseason win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Arnold's receptions all came from starting quarterback Sam Darnold during the first half, putting a bow on a promising first preseason with the Panthers. The veteran addition is now expected to serve as Carolina's starting tight end and is coming off a career-best campaign last term, making him one to watch going into the Week 1 matchup against the Jets.

  • Suits up Saturday

    Arnold made his Panthers debut but was not targeted on any of his eight snaps in Saturday's 20-3 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Arnold sat out Carolina's exhibition opener but got a small taste of the action this weekend. With consistently positive reviews of his performance during training camp, Arnold's stock is on the rise heading into the upcoming campaign, and he'll perhaps get to show his stuff more in Friday's preseason finale versus the Steelers, when coach Matt Rhule hopes to play his starters for about a half.

  • Gets day off

    Arnold did not suit up for the Panthers' first preseason tilt against the Colts on Sunday, ESPN's David Newton reports.

    Analysis: Arnold has made some strong impressions during training camp, so much so that he has put himself in a position to start for the Panthers this season. Starters usually get the first week of preseason off, which hints at the team's plans for the fifth-year pro. We should get a first-hand look at the chemistry developing between Sam Darnold and Arnold as the preseason progresses.

    Arnold has been one of the standout performers in Panthers training camp, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Arnold reportedly has 'caught everything thrown to him' as he rejoins Carolina's offensive coordinator Joe Brady after previously spending time with him in New Orleans. The 6-foot-6, 240-pounder signed with the Panthers this offseason after a career-best campaign with the Cardinals last year, and although his blocking can stand to improve, his familiarity and pass-catching prowess could add an extra dimension to Brady's scheme. Overall, that makes Arnold a worthwhile option to monitor in the…read more

    Arnold has shown a good connection with quarterback Sam Darnold during training camp, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Arnold was signed this spring to improve a tight end position that generated minimal production for coordinator Joe Brady last season. The 26-year-old is fresh off career highs with the Cardinals, and despite switching to his third team in five years, Arnold has reportedly built an early rapport with his new quarterback in Carolina. Although the Panthers' top three weapons of Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore and Robby Anderson should dominate the touches, Arnold has a good chance to emerge as the…read more

    Arnold said Tuesday that he's eager for the opportunity to take on a bigger role with the Panthers in 2021, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Arnold signed a two-year deal with Carolina this offseason after posting a career-best 31 catches on 45 targets for 438 yards and four touchdowns for the Cardinals in 2020. Although Arnold will have to adjust to his third team in five years, the 26-year-old's solid campaign in the desert has him positioned to slot in as the Carolina's top tight end, a position where the team received little production from starter Ian Thomas last season.

  • Moving on to Carolina

    The Panthers and Arnold agreed to a two-year contract Friday, Peter Schrager of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Since the Cardinals plucked him off waivers in December 2019, Arnold developed a nice connection with Kyler Murray, reeling in 37 of 55 passes for 540 yards and six touchdowns in 19 games. Such production equates to an impressive 9.8 yards per target, with 16.2 percent of his catches going for scores. Arnold will slot in at the top of the Panthers' tight end depth chart.

    Arnold recorded 31 receptions (on 45 targets) for 438 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games during the 2020 season.

    Analysis: Arnold paced position mates Maxx Williams, Darrell Daniels and Seth DeValve in all statistical categories, including offensive snaps (470 of 1,131, or 41.6 percent). On top of that, Arnold ranked third on the team in receiving yards and TD catches, and fifth in receptions and targets. His 14.1 YPC ranked first among qualified tight ends, a shade ahead of Rob Gronkowski's 13.8.

    Arnold (back) was a full participant during the Cardinals' practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Arnold was limited with a back issue last Friday, and he was handed a questionable designation heading into Arizona's Week 16 matchup against the 49ers. He fielded his third-highest offensive snap total of the season in that contest, however, collecting three catches and 25 yards while coughing up one fumble to the opposition. Now back to full-go in practice, the 25-year-old looks to be in the clear for an upcoming regular-season finale against the Rams.

    Arnold (back) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Arnold was listed as questionable ahead of last week's loss to the 49ers while managing the back injury, but he proceeded to suit up and played 36 offensive snaps, his highest total since Week 2. With a limited practice to begin Week 17, Arnold should be ready to go for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams so long as he avoids a setback. Arnold could be in line for another increased workload if neither Maxx Williams (ankle) nor Darrell Daniels (hamstring) can play.

  • Makes three more catches Saturday

    Arnold recorded three catches (on five targets) for 25 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: It was anything but a clean game for Arnold, who coughed up the ball at the end of an 11-yard grab in the third quarter. He also was evaluated for a head injury during the contest but was able to return to the field. With Maxx Williams (ankle) sidelined, Arnold paced Cardinals tight ends by logging 36 of 82 offensive snaps, with Darrell Daniels handling 30 and Seth DeValve earning 19.

    Analysis: Arnold made a last-minute appearance on the Cardinals' injury report this week, being listed as limited Thursday and questionable for this game. Still, he'll gut out his back issue and may even earn a bit more work with Maxx Williams (ankle) sidelined. Arizona's available tight ends Week 16 are Arnold, Darrell Daniels and Seth DeValve.

  • Iffy for Saturday with back injury

    Arnold is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 49ers with a back injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Arnold didn't appear on the Cardinals' first two injury reports of Week 16 before being listed as a limited participant at Thursday's session due to the back issue. With Arnold's status for Saturday's game now muddled, the Cardinals are lacking in healthy bodies at tight end. The other two options at the position currently on the 53-man roster -- Darrell Daniels and Maxx Williams -- are also listed as questionable with hamstring and ankle injuries, respectively.

  • Three more catches in Week 15

    Arnold caught three of five passes for 54 yards during Sunday's 33-26 victory over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Arnold has been on a bit of a roll over the last five games, averaging 18.1 YPC and 9.6 YPT and scoring four touchdowns on his 17 targets. Two of his three catches Sunday went for 20 or more yards, which brings him to four total over the last three contests. Arnold will look to build further on his connection with Kyler Murray in the final two outings of the season.

  • Makes another end-zone visit

    Arnold gathered in two of four targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 26-7 road victory versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Arnold showed promise as a red-zone threat in three appearances to close out last season, scoring two TDs on 10 targets. However, he was kept out of the end zone through his first nine appearances and on his first 21 targets of the current campaign before tallying his first score Week 11. Including that four-yard grab, Arnold has posted a 6-109-4 line on 11 targets over the last three and a half games. Considering the rapport he's developed with Kyler Murray of late and his standing as the…read more

  • Snags two TDs in loss

    Arnold caught two of three targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Talk about making the most of your opportunities. Arnold didn't see much volume, but a 59-yard TD grab early in the first quarter and a two-yard touchdown late in the fourth bookended the scoring for both teams on the afternoon. Despite the big performance, Arnold hasn't seen more than four targets in a game all season, making him a risky option in Week 14 against a Giants defense that just stifled Russell Wilson and the Seattle passing game in an upset win.

  • Practices in full Thursday

    Arnold (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Arnold increased his activity from Wednesday's limited session, clearing him to play through a knee injury Sunday versus the Rams. Having said that, he's the nominal No. 2 tight end behind Maxx Williams in Arizona, so Arnold's production is hit or miss on a weekly basis.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Arnold (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: In the five games in which Maxx Williams has been available this season -- Week 1, plus Weeks 9 through 12 -- Arnold has had a wide range of offensive snap shares (26 to 55 percent). The result has been nine catches for 92 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets for Arnold. While the production is nothing to write home about, it's far more than what Williams has produced (a 5-43-1 line on seven targets). Assuming he's out there Sunday against the Rams, Arnold is the best bet among Cardinals tight…read more

  • Scoops up one reception

    Arnold gathered in one of three passes for 17 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat at New England.

    Analysis: Arnold continues to be a distant second to Maxx Williams among Cardinals tight ends in usage. In this contest, Arnold played 36 percent of the offensive snaps to Williams' 72 percent (practice squad callup Evan Baylis handled 30). Having said that, Arnold is more reliable as a receiver, recording multiple catches in five of his 10 appearances this season. Meanwhile, Williams has five receptions in his five outings.

  • Records first TD of season

    Arnold notched a four-yard touchdown on two targets during Thursday's 28-21 defeat at Seattle.

    Analysis: The Cardinals claimed Arnold off waivers late last season, and he proceeded to score two TDs on 10 targets over the final three games. He seemed to develop a rapport with Kyler Murray in a short time span, but Arnold needed nine appearances this year before he made his first visit to the end zone. Arnold has taken a back seat to Maxx Williams since the veteran returned from IR in Week 9, resulting in a 6-54-1 line on seven targets over the last three outings. With not much volume to speak of,…read more

  • Snags four passes Week 10

    Arnold notched four catches (on four targets) for 34 yards during Sunday's 32-30 victory versus the Bills.

    Analysis: Arnold was a close second in snaps on offense (35 of 73) to Maxx Williams (39) among Cardinals tight ends, with Darrell Daniels (14) bringing up the rear. Both Williams and Daniels were listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report with ankle injuries, so Arnold is the healthiest of the group as the team begins preparations for Thursday's game in Seattle. Consequently, Arnold could serve as the No. 1 option at the position for Kyler Murray this week, depending on how Williams and…read more

  • One catch in Week 9 loss

    Arnold hauled in his lone target for a 16-yard reception during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Arnold was coming off a season best 57-yard outing in his last game Week 7 against the Seahawks, but he offered little production in the three games prior. The 25-year-old averaged 24.3 receiving yards per game over the first quarter of the regular season, but he proceeded to go untargeted on a combined 53 snaps Weeks 5 and 6. With Darrell Daniels securing a 21-yard TD pass from Kyler Murray on Sunday, Arnold currently finds himself playing second fiddle at the tight end position.

  • Posts 57 yards receiving

    Arnold notched two catches (on three targets) for 57 yards during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Fellow tight end Darrell Daniels started and led his position mates with a 51-percent share of the snaps on offense, but he also failed to haul in his only target. Meanwhile, Arnold received a 25-percent share and finally surpassed 50 yards receiving for the first time in seven appearances this season, thanks mainly to a 41-yard reception that represented the Cardinals' longest play from scrimmage on the night. Considering the uneven nature of his contributions to date, he's difficult to trust…read more

  • Has fallen to No. 2 TE

    Arnold earned 26 of 62 snaps on offense (42 percent) and logged four special-teams plays during Monday's 38-10 win against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Arnold has been operating as the Cardinals' No. 2 tight end behind Darrell Daniels of late, which has resulted in no targets in back-to-back games. Granted, Arnold missed out on one Monday when an incomplete pass from Kyler Murray was nullified by a defensive pass interference penalty. With a 9-97-0 line on 12 targets through six contests, it's safe to say Arnold isn't a key part of Arizona's passing game.

  • Less usage Week 5

    Arnold played 27 of 75 snaps on offense during Sunday's 30-10 road win against the Jets.

    Analysis: Prior to Sunday, Arnold earned at least 50 percent of the offensive plays in each of the Cardinals' first four games of the season. That said, he was second fiddle to TE Darrell Daniels (50) in the category Week 5 and wasn't even targeted. It bears watching whether Arnold will be able to parlay his preseason hype into in-season output, but his lack of TDs this year after scoring twice in the final three contests of 2019 indicates he isn't a major piece of Arizona's offense.

  • Makes four catches Sunday

    Arnold hauled in all four targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 31-21 loss in Carolina.

    Analysis: With a 25-yard catch in the third quarter, Arnold accounted for the Cardinals' second-longest play of the game. It also helped him put up his most-productive stat line of the young season, but the positive vibes around Arnold entering Week 1 have yet to yield fruit in Arizona's offense. In any case, he'll look to continue to improve as he and his teammates prepare to visit the Jets on Sunday.

    Arnold hauled in one of his two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: The Wisconsin-Platteville standout did not enjoy prolific outings in Weeks 1 or 2 either, but he managed multiple receptions and at least 21 receiving yards in each of those contests. Week 3 marked a down week not only in terms of Arnold's statistical production but also in regards to his usage, as he logged a season-low 31 offensive snaps (his previous season low being 45). Arnold's upcoming matchup against Carolina is not a particularly appealing one, as the Panthers have allowed 108…read more

  • Reels in two passes

    Arnold caught two of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-15 win over Washington.

    Analysis: With Maxx Williams (ankle) sitting out, Arnold was the unequivocal No. 1 TE heading into Week 2. He logged 73 percent of the team's offensive snaps and he finished tied for third in targets. It's worth keeping an eye on his target share moving forward, especially since Williams was placed on IR and will miss three more weeks.

  • Poised for larger role

    Arnold could see more playing time with fellow tight end Maxx Williams (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Arnold played 55 percent of snaps to Williams' 52 percent in a Week 1 win over San Francisco, drawing only two targets despite running a route on 30 of Kyler Murray's 51 dropbacks (59 percent). While DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake, Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald all figure to be bigger priorities in the Arizona offense, Arnold could prove useful in deep fantasy leagues.

  • Makes two catches Week 1

    Arnold reeled in both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 24-20 victory in San Francisco.

    Analysis: Considered something of a deep sleeper entering 2020 after scoring two TDs in three games to close last season, Arnold was targeted between the 20s in this contest. On a positive note, he got the start and earned two more offensive snaps (45 versus 43) than veteran tight end Maxx Williams, who didn't corral either of his two targets. Expect Arnold to be the most relevant Cardinals TE in terms of fantasy moving forward, but as his Week 1 stat line revealed, he'll be a hit-or-miss option.

  • Top receiving TE in Arizona

    Arnold has been the Cardinals' top receiving tight end during training camp, Kyle Odegard of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: During his time in New Orleans, the undrafted wide receiver spent his rookie season in 2017 on injured reserve before switching to tight end during the 2018 offseason. That said, he recorded just 14 catches in 12 games with the Saints before they waived him last December. The Cardinals scooped Arnold up, and he struck up an instant rapport with Kyler Murray, corralling six of 10 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns in three contests.

  • Flashes in brief stint with team

    Arnold posted six receptions (on 10 targets) for 102 yards and two touchdowns in three games with the Cardinals in 2019.

    Analysis: A late-season pickup off waivers, Arnold made his presence felt, which cannot be said for the other TEs employed by the Cards this season. Both Charles Clay (calf) and Maxx Williams barely surpassed 200 receiving yards while playing entire campaigns (sans Week 17 for the former). Looking at the efficiency metrics in Arnold's brief career to date -- 8.4 YPT and three TDs on 33 targets in 15 games between Arizona and New Orleans -- Arnold has flashed receiving talent in two locales that promote…read more

  • Makes one catch Sunday

    Arnold gathered in one of three passes for 20 yards during Sunday's 27-13 victory at Seattle.

    Analysis: Both Arnold and Darrell Daniels, the Cardinals' reserve tight ends, experienced an uptick in usage due to Charles Clay's early departure due to a knee issue. While he was third in offensive snaps (18 of 69) behind Maxx Williams (45) and Daniels (23), Arnold's three targets matched that of the duo combined. Kyler Murray expressed a positive sentiment toward Arnold after hooking up for a six-yard TD in Week 15, but the rookie QB suffered a mild hamstring injury this past Sunday, placing a cloud…read more

  • Plucked by Cards

    The Cardinals claimed Arnold off waivers Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Cut loose by the Saints this week, Arnold immediately finds a new home. On the season, Maxx Williams and Charles Clay have almost evenly split the TE snaps for the Cardinals (41.5 percent versus 41.0 percent of the snaps on offense, respectively). As a result, Arnold may not be much more than a depth option, if he's a part of the game-day roster at all, moving forward.
