Kenny Yeboah: Released from IR
Detroit released Yeboah (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday.
Yeboah was placed on injured reserve in early August, which would have ended his season had he not reached this settlement. He'll now be free to sign elsewhere and potentially suit up if healthy.

Lions' Kenny Yeboah: Sent to IR
The Lions placed Yeboah (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday.
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 in training camp, though he managed to suit up for Detroit's preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday.

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

Lions' Kenny Yeboah: Dealing with leg issue

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

Yeboah didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills

Jets' Kenny Yeboah: One target in Week 16
Yeboah didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.
Yeboah worked as the No. 3 tight end behind Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert, as Conklin returned from a one-game absence due to a personal matter. Yeboah has only three catches all season, though one of them went for his first NFL touchdown.

Jets' Kenny Yeboah: Scores first NFL TD
Yeboah scored an 11-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
Yeboah's first NFL touchdown put the Jets up 24-16 in the fourth quarter, but the Colts closed the game on a 12-3 run to drop New York's record to 3-8. Most of Yeboah's playing time comes on special teams, as he was on the field for only three offensive snaps against Indianapolis.

Jets' Kenny Yeboah: Good to go vs. Texans
Yeboah (abdomen) is active for Thursday's game against Houston.
Yeboah was activated from injured reserve earlier Thursday, and he's in line to make his 2024 regular-season debut. Yeboah will provide the Jets depth at tight end behind starter Tyler Conklin and backup Jeremy Ruckert.

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