Arizona Cardinals Year 2 player outlook: WR Tejhaun Palmer
The Arizona Cardinals drafted 12 players in 2024. Some of them had contributions as rookies. Some will have greater roles in 2025. Others will have to battle for the roster.
They selected receiver Tejhaun Palmer in the sixth round with the 191st overall pick.
Entering Year 2 in the NFL, let's have a look at his 2025 outlook.
WR Tejhaun Palmer's 2024 season
Palmer spent the entire season on the practice squad. He played 110 snaps during the preseason, 89 of those snaps on the outside and 21 in the slot. He caught four passes for 51 yards.
He was released before the season and re-signed to the practice squad, where he remains all 18 weeks of the season.
Tejhaun Palmer's Year 2 outlook for 2025
2025 looks like, at best, another season on the practice squad. Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Zay Jones appear like locks for the first four spots. Xavier Weaver returns and the Cardinals signed Simi Fehoko. Palmer will have to beat at least one of them, depending on whether the Cardinals keep five or six receivers on the active roster.

Bettors flocking to Shedeur Sanders for Offensive Rookie of the Year award
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Shedeur Sanders is getting a ton of love from sports bettors. Despite not yet being the Browns' starting quarterback, Sanders has received more money than any other player at BetMGM Sportsbook to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Sanders has 17.7 percent of the handle at BetMGM, which is more than five percentage points higher than the next best rookie (Ashton Jeanty, 12.4 percent). The backing from the betting public has dropped Sanders' odds to win the award from 30/1 to 25/1, which is tied for the ninth-best odds on the board. Sanders, 23, is coming off a strong performance in the Browns' first preseason game against the Panthers, but it's far from a guarantee that the Colorado product will see enough playing time to compete for the award. In that contest, Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while adding four rushes for 19 yards. Even after that impressive performance, Sanders remains fourth on the team's depth chart ahead of the Browns' second preseason game. Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders celebrates after his first touchdown pass against the Carolina Panthers during the first half of a preseason NFL football game on Friday, Aug. 8, 2025, in Charlotte, N.C. AP Cleveland listed Joe Flacco as QB1, followed by the injured Kenny Pickett, rookie third-rounder Dillon Gabriel, and then Sanders, who was taken in the fifth round. After Friday's preseason game, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski deflected questions about his team's quarterback position. Betting on the NFL? 'We're really just focused on developing our players. We're in evaluation mode,' Stefanski said. 'I'm pleased with where the guys are, but I'm not diving into a quarterback competition.' Sanders' chances to steal the starting job got a bit smaller when he suffered an oblique strain during Wednesday's practice. He is unlikely to play in the Browns' next preseason game on Saturday against the Eagles. Why Trust New York Post Betting Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports.

Caleb Williams will get his first preseason playing time in Johnson's offense when Bears host Bills
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson sees the second preseason game as the ideal time to get quarterback Caleb Williams some on-field reps. Williams will see game action in Johnson's offense for the first time when the Bears host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. Backups Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum and Austin Reed took the snaps in last Sunday's 24-24 tie against Miami in the preseason opener. 'Our starters are going to play, everyone is going to play,' Johnson said Wednesday. 'Last week and really all through camp I've been pretty consistent with the thought of reps, reps, reps are the most important thing to get (Williams) up to speed.' Johnson said he got Williams 80 to 100 practice plays within the offense that he wouldn't have had if he had played in Sunday's game. Of course, Williams wasn't facing a live defense trying to sack him. 'This week it's a different schedule, a different length of time in terms of between games, and all that,' Johnson said. 'So our plan right now is the guys that sat out last week they will be playing this week.' Williams' play in training camp practices has been inconsistent but Johnson has seen improvement from the second-year QB. 'I'm pleased with how he is able to spit these plays out right now,' Johnson said. 'He's made significant progress in that regard and once we get going here in a game week, we're going to condense the verbiage even more. But we have challenged him. It's been a lot. 'That was by design, and so if we struggle at all in the huddle to get the play out, then the delays are going to pop up. That's a little bit part of the learning process and us growing, but by design we have made this very challenging and hard and we know what we need to do as a staff to elevate some of that pressure. I think Week 1 we're going to be in a good spot.' What's less clear is who will start at left tackle. Starter Braxton Jones is being challenged by rookie Ozzy Trapilo. However, at Wednesday's practice, second-year undrafted free agent Theo Benedet alternated with Jones at left tackle with the starters, while Trapilo was the backup right tackle. Jaylon Johnson 'on track' for return Cornerback Jaylon Johnson remains on the non-football injury list, but Ben Johnson sounded more optimistic Wednesday that the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback will be ready for the season opener. 'He's right on track, he's right where he need to be,' Johnson said. 'It's really like I said, those type of injuries you really don't know. Short term, long term, every guy is a little bit different, but I think we're going in the right direction.' ___ AP NFL:

Taylor Swift Claims She Can be NFL Analyst in 16 Months
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have one of the most popular podcasts in the world, and while they usually talk about football, they have arguably their biggest guest ever. Pop superstar Taylor Swift joined "New Heights" to discuss her obsession with the NFL, buying her master recordings back, and far more. More news: Chiefs' Travis Kelce Opens Up About What Hurt His NFL Performance Travis has stated that Swift has been obsessed with the game since they began dating, but the pop phenom dropped some knowledge during the beginning of the podcast episode. Initially, Swift revealed that her friends thought she was crazy when she screamed that the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Xavier Worthy in 2024, and she even stated that she contacted Travis to let him know the team landed the fastest 40-yard dash runner in NFL Combine history. Following her excitement and news about Worthy, Swift jumped right into naming different defensive coverages. "We're talking Cover 2, Cover 4, Cover 0, and we're learning ... I'm not ready to be an analyst right now, but give me 16 months," Swift said with confidence. While Swift was naming the covers, Travis was wholly impressed. He also quipped, "Name me somebody else that even knows what those coverages are." Taylor Swift celebrates with Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26, 2025 in Kansas... Taylor Swift celebrates with Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. MoreSwift began showing up at Chiefs games, much to the chagrin of NFL fans. Swift even took a shot at "male sports fans" during the intro to the podcast episode.

You guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and um, I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me," Swift stated. Despite the fact that Swift is a global superstar, she continues to showcase her knowledge of football, and it appears she plans to learn far more. It does help that she is dating one of the best tight ends in the game, who can certainly answer questions that arise. Even Jason stated that Swift was "asking great questions" during the time they were both in the suites during games. While people might have had their fill of seeing Swift at football games, it appears that she is not going to stop learning and appearing at NFL events anytime soon.
