The Lions placed Yeboah (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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 during training camp, though he managed to suit up for Detroit's preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Yeboah suffered a leg injury during Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yeboah will presumably undergo further imaging Friday, as little was known about the injury Thursday night. Nevertheless, he believes he avoided a serious issue.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 caught five of nine targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 2024 season.

EDGE Analysis

Yeboah appeared in nine games while filling a depth role. He scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts. After appearing in 33 games for the Jets over the past four seasons, Yeboah will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

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

EDGE Analysis

Yeboah has gone without a catch on three targets since scoring his first career touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts. He'll continue to fill a depth role in the season finale against Miami.

Yeboah didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Yeboah scored an 11-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Yeboah (abdomen) caught his only target for 12 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Yeboah (abdomen) is active for Thursday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Yeboah was activated from injured reserve 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.
