Kroft will hand over the Cincinnati starting tight end spot to C.J. Uzomah on Sunday, according to the teams' official site.
Kroft had been expected to see a bigger role in the Cincinnati offense with Tyler Eifert (ankle) on the shelf, and although that's still a possibility, he won't be doing so as a starter. Kroft may have a bit more experience as a pass catcher than Uzomah, but the latter will get on the field first, seemingly due to his blocking capabilities and contributions on special teams.
