Yeboah scored an 11-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. 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. 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. 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.
The Jets activated Yeboah (abdomen) from injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports. Yeboah has been listed as a full practice participant all week, and his activation from IR indicates that he could be available for Thursday night's game against the Texans. If he's indeed active, Yeboah would serve as the Jets' No. 3 tight end behind Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert.
The Jets announced Saturday that Yeboah (abdomen) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Yeboah won't be activated from IR in time to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against New England. The depth tight end's next chance to play will come Thursday, Oct. 31 at home versus the Texans.
Yeboah (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Yeboah has been out of action since suffering the injury during the Jets' final preseason contest. The Ole Miss product will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be placed on the active roster, but he could return as soon as Sunday against the Patriots.
Yeboah (groin) was placed on injured reserve by the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official website reports. Yeboah suffered a groin injury in New York's preseason finale versus the Jets and he'll now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2024 campaign as a result. He's first eligible to return on Oct. 6 for the Jets' matchup with the Vikings in Week 5.
Yeboah is doubtful to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Giants due to a groin injury, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Yeboah sustained the injury in the first quarter. He hauled in his lone target for three yards before exiting the game. Yeboah is competing for a depth spot at tight end behind starter Tyler Conklin.
Yeboah and the Jets agreed on a one-year contract Sunday. Yeboah will return to the Jets for a fourth season with the team after he recorded two catches for 28 yards while appearing in five games with New York in 2023. With C.J. Uzomah no longer part of the organization, more snaps could be available at tight end for the 25-year-old in 2024.
