Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Makes two catches Sunday
Elijah Higgins gathered in both of his targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 34-28 loss in Buffalo.Higgins took a clear back seat to starting tight end Trey McBride in terms of targets (9-2) and offensive snaps (52-25), while rookie third-round pick Tip Reiman (zero targets on 20 snaps) also got in the mix. Higgins seems secure in his role as the No. 2 TE, especially as a receiver, as Reiman likely will be almost exclusively a blocking specialist to begin his career. Higgins has a streak of five multi-catch games going, dating back to last season, and he should remain a small part of the Arizona Cardinals offense.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Makes some headway after Week 10
Elijah Higgins gathered in 14 of 19 targets for 163 yards and one touchdown in 11 regular-season games in 2023.A sixth-round pick of the Dolphins in April, Higgins transitioned from oversized wide receiver to undersized tight end in the move to the pros. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder didn't survive cut-down day in Miami in late August and subsequently was claimed off waivers by Arizona. He eventually became a regular in the Arizona Cardinals offense after veteran Zach Ertz went down with a quad strain Week 7 and even recorded at least one catch in each of the team's final seven contests. That said, Higgins played second fiddle by a large margin to 2022 second-round pick Trey McBride, a role that likely will continue for him next season barring further additions at the position.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Hauls in both targets in Week 17
Elijah Higgins secured both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 35-31 victory in Philadelphia.After the Arizona Cardinals claimed Higgins off waivers Aug. 30, the sixth-round rookie didn't make his pro debut until Week 7 but has been a regular in the offense ever since. He's recorded a catch in six consecutive games on his way to a 11-131-1 line on 15 targets during that span. Trey McBride is the unquestioned top tight end in Arizona, but Higgins continues to make a case to serve as the team's No. 2 in Sunday's season finale versus the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Shines in supporting role Week 15
Elijah Higgins played 25 of 74 snaps on offense and recorded four catches for 44 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.Starter Trey McBride has rightfully drawn most of the attention among Arizona tight ends since moving into a full-time role Week 8, but the rookie Higgins is beginning to make some waves of his own. With Arizona having since waived Zach Ertz and with Geoff Swaim (calf) recently landing on injured reserve, Higgins should be locked in as the clear No. 2 tight end for the final three weeks of the season. He turned in his best outing yet in the loss to San Francisco, but Higgins had already drawn two targets in each of the preceding three contests and contributed a pair of 20-plus-yard receptions.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Gaining traction in passing game
Elijah Higgins gathered in one of his two targets for a 21-yard reception while playing 22 of the Arizona Cardinals' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.After being inactive for the Cardinals' first six games of the season, Higgins has suited up for each of the subsequent seven games and is beginning to carve out a tertiary role in the Arizona passing attack. Though second-year tight end Trey McBride is the clear top option on the depth chart, Higgins may be threatening Geoff Swaim for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Higgins has now drawn two targets in two consecutive games, and the 32-percent snap share he handled Sunday was a season-high rate.

Still, final confirmation of his status is unlikely to come until the Arizona Cardinals release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Elijah Higgins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.The 22-year-old was claimed by Arizona on Aug. 30 after he didn't make the Dolphins' 53-man roster.

His next chance to be active on game day will come in Week 2 against the Giants.
