Kiner took his only carry for two yards during Sunday's 37-14 loss in Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
One week removed from earning a career-high six rushes that he turned into 32 yards, the undrafted rookie logged just two offensive snaps in Week 17, with the aforementioned carry occurring in the middle of the second quarter. Kiner ranked third in the RB pecking order for the Cardinals behind Emari Demercado's 30 snaps and seven touches and Michael Carter's 23 and nine, respectively. Such a breakdown likely will continue in Arizona's regular-season finale Sunday at the Rams.

Kiner carried six times for 32 yards while logging nine of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Kiner finished second on the team to only Michael Carter in both carries and yardage, but all of his touches were contained to one second-quarter drive that culminated in a Chad Ryland 25-yard field goal. Though Kiner was efficient with his opportunities, he still looks like he could be the third man on the running-back depth chart behind both Carter and Emari Demercado, both of whom saw more usage than Kiner in the second half of the contest.

Kiner was signed off the Vikings' practice squad to the Cardinals' active roster Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE 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).

The Vikings reverted Kiner to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE 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.

Kiner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE 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.

The Vikings elevated Kiner from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE 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.

Kiner was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE 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.

Kiner (ankle) was waived from injured reserve by the 49ers with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE 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.

The 49ers waived/injured Kiner (ankle) on Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE 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.
