Headed to Arizona
Kiner was signed off the Vikings' practice squad to the Cardinals' active roster Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Kiner joined the Vikings' practice squad in late September and was elevated for Minnesota's Week 10 loss to Baltimore, though he was a healthy scratch for that contest. The Cardinals waived Jermar Jefferson from the active roster and cut Sincere McCormick and Montrell Johnson from the practice squad, so the addition of Kiner helps bolster an Arizona backfield that consists of Bam Knight, Michael Carter, Emari Demercado (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee - IR).

Lands back on practice squad
The Vikings reverted Kiner to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Kiner was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he ended up being inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore. His elevation was insurance in case Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) was unable to play, but Jones ended up starting and logging a larger offensive snap count than usual. With that in mind, it doesn't seem likely Kiner will get elevated again for Week 11 against Chicago unless another injury hits the Vikings' backfield before then.

Inactive against Baltimore
Kiner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Kiner was elevated to the active roster Saturday for the scenario in which starting running back Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) was unable to suit up. With Jones active for Sunday's contest, Kiner ends up a healthy scratch against the Ravens.

Called up to active roster
The Vikings elevated Kiner from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Kiner will join the Vikings' active roster for the first time this season after he signed with the team's practice squad in mid-September. His elevation gives the Vikings emergency depth in the backfield in case Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) is not cleared to play against the Ravens on Sunday.

Signs with Minnesota
Kiner was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Kiner reached an injury settlement with the 49ers in late August after suffering an ankle injury, but he now appears to be back to full health. The running back will provide the team with an additional depth option while Aaron Jones (hamstring) is on injured reserve.

Waived with injury settlement
Kiner (ankle) was waived from injured reserve by the 49ers with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Kiner suffered a high-ankle sprain during the 49ers' second preseason game and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. Due to his injury settlement, he'll be free to sign with a new team once he's healthy. The undrafted rookie posted 1,153 yards and four touchdowns on 204 carries (5.7 YPC) through 12 games at Cincinnati.

Reverts to IR with San Francisco
Kiner (ankle) reverted to injured reserve with the 49ers on Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Kiner sustained a high-ankle sprain in the 49ers' preseason matchup with the Raiders on Saturday. He will now be sidelined for the entirety of the 2025 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with San Francisco and becomes a free agent.

Let go by San Francisco
The 49ers waived/injured Kiner (ankle) on Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Kiner suffered a high-ankle sprain during the 49ers' preseason game against the Raiders. Assuming he clears waivers, Kiner will revert to the 49ers' injured reserve, which will force him to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Suffers high-ankle sprain
Kiner suffered a left high-ankle sprain in Saturday's preseason game versus Las Vegas, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Kiner rushed two times for 23 yards and caught his lone target for a gain of four yards prior to exiting. Kiner was drawing praise from Niners beat writers for his work during training camp this summer, but he's now dealing with what is typically a multi-week injury.

Carted off field
Kiner was carted off the field during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders due to a left leg injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Kiner suffered the injury at the tail end of a 19-yard carry early in the second quarter. He was carted off the field after being checked on by trainers, and an update on the severity of his injury should be announced once he undergoes further tests. Jeff Wilson and Ke'Shawn Vaughn should handle the bulk of the 49ers' backfield snaps the rest of the way due to Kiner and Patrick Taylor (shoulder) both leaving Saturday with injuries.
