Gresham (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouncing back from an Achilles tear suffered in the final game of last season, Gresham was activated from the PUP list over the weekend and managed limited practices throughout the week. He'll likely have his snap count restricted if he ends up playing, with Ricky Seals-Jones and Gabe Holmes also likely to get some work at tight end. Seals-Jones is the only one of the bunch with any real potential for fantasy purposes.

Gresham (Achilles) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Removed from the PUP list over the weekend, Gresham returned to practice Monday, but his level of participation wasn't known until the release of the first regular-season injury report. Until he's cleared for contact -- which likely is still weeks away -- he should maintain this level of activity. For the time being, Ricky Seals-Jones and Gabe Holmes will be the tight ends of note in the Cardinals offense.

Gresham (Achilles) took part in practice Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham is far ahead of the normal schedule expected of a player returning from a torn Achilles, which he suffered in the 2017 season finale. As evidence, he was activated from the PUP list Saturday, meaning the Cardinals expect him to play within the first six weeks of the campaign. While he goes through the final stages of recovery, Ricky Seals-Jones and Gabe Holmes will hold down the fort at tight end.

Gresham (Achilles) was activated from the PUP list Saturday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This doesn't mean Gresham will be available Week 1, but it does mean he'll be eligible to return before Week 7. He's likely still working his way back to full strength after suffering a torn Achilles in the final game of the season last year. Ricky Seals-Jones and Gabe Holmes figure to get most of the snaps at tight end Week 1 against Washington.

Coach Steve Wilks isn't sure if Gresham (Achilles) will be removed from the PUP list before the start of the regular season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 17 last year, Gresham will be ineligible for the first six weeks of the regular season if he's kept on the PUP list. The fact that it's even a consideration suggests he can essentially be ruled out for Week 1 against Washington. Rickey Seals-Jones and Gabe Holmes are the favorites for playing time at tight end, with RSJ the clear choice for those seeking potential fantasy impact.

The Cardinals place Gresham (Achilles) on the PUP list Monday, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The development isn't surprising in the lease considering Gresham tore his Achilles in Week 17 of last season. The debilitating nature of the injury makes an appearance early on difficult to comprehend, but the veteran remains committed to play Week 1. There's no telling if he'll achieve that goal, but tight end will be in decent hands, if not. Expect second-year pro Ricky Seals-Jones, who recorded 12 catches (on 25 targets) for 201 yards and three touchdowns from Week 11 to 15 in 2017, to fill in in the event Gresham's absence extends into September and beyond.

Coach Steve Wilks said earlier this week that he's "hopeful" Gresham (Achilles) will be available for the regular-season opener, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After rupturing his Achilles in Week 17 of last season, Gresham has spent the entire offseason in recovery mode. Because such injuries are difficult for players to bounce back from, he'll be hard-pressed to produce, even if he's cleared by Week 1. Among fellow tight ends on the roster, Ricky Seals-Jones is the best bet to take advantage of the potential opening in the offense. During a five-game stretch from Weeks 11 to 15 in 2017, he cranked out 12 catches (on 25 targets) for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

Gresham (Achilles) may not be ready for the start of the 2018 season, Kent Somers of AZCentral.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham tore his Achilles in Week 17, finishing the 2017 campaign with 33 catches for 322 yards and two touchdowns on 45 targets in 14 games. He had just three outings with more than 27 receiving yards, and he hasn't reached 500 yards in a season since 2012 when he was with the Bengals. The Cardinals hope Ricky Seals-Jones (leg) can take on a larger receiving role, but they also figure to take a close look at the top tight ends in the upcoming draft, after missing out on all the big names in free agency. Gresham will turn 30 in June, and his $5.25 million base salary for 2018 is fully guaranteed, per OverTheCap.

Gresham suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals' season ended Sunday, but this injury to Gresham will likely carry over into the 2018 season. He finished this past season with 298 yards and two touchdowns, and still has three years remaining on his current contract.

Gresham is questionable to return to Sunday's contest at Seattle due to an Achilles injury, Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since entering the NFL in 2010, Gresham has dealt with the occasional injury, but the Achilles is a new affliction for the 29-year-old tight end. The Cardinals will move on with Troy Niklas and Ricky Seals-Jones at TE for the time being.
