The Cardinals get to see how deep their tight ends room is Sunday against the Commanders, with Travis Vokolek active for the first time this season as Trey McBride sits out with a concussion.
Elijah Higgins slides into the TE1 spot, with rookie Tip Reiman joining Vokolek as the main blockers. Reiman has yet to catch a pass this season and has not even been targeted. Higgins has four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. Vokolek, an undrafted rookie last season was with the Ravens before being signed in late December by the Cardinals. He has appeared in two games previously, without a catch.
Right tackle Kelvin Beachum, as expected, is active after missing last week with a bad hamstring. Beachum returns to the starting lineup. Practice-squad call-up Charlie Heck will be the backup swing tackle.
The full Cardinals inactives list:
- TE Trey McBride (concussion)
- DL Khyiris Tonga (knee)
- CB Darren Hall
- LB Jesse Luketa
- OL Jon Gaines II
- WR Xavier Weaver
- DL Naquan Jones
