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

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

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 were in the mix to sign Arnold back in March before he ultimately agreed to terms with Carolina.

Arnold caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Thursday night's 24-9 win over the Texans.
EDGE 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 nonetheless strive to remain involved as a pass catcher in Week 4 versus the Cowboys.

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

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

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

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.
EDGE 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.

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