Fehoko had a tough go in 2025. In the Cardinals’ Week 10 game against the Seahawks, Fehoko badly sprained an ankle on a special teams play. He returned to the game after having it taped up and then broke his arm making a tackle on the following kickoff. Fehoko, 28, also failed to earn a target last season. He will likely function as a run blocker and special teams player and should not be drafted this season.

He announced the news via TikTok by saying the “grim reaper done got me.” Fehoko played 41 preseason snaps and finished with a 71.6 PFF offensive grade. The 28-year-old has a shot to catch on elsewhere as an end-of-roster or practice squad possession receiver. He has 310 career NFL snaps over the last four seasons.

Typically a special teamer, Fehoko set season highs across the board on offense last year with six catches for 106 yards. An elbow injury cost him the second half of the season. Fehoko is a depth option at receiver but brings more to the table through his special teams production. He will need to maintain a special teams role in Arizona to secure a roster spot.

LA also brought Eli Apple off IR. Both players will fill depth roles for the Chargers’ in their Wild Card Round matchup with Houston. With Josh Palmer ruled out, Fehoko could be in the mix for WR3 duties along with DJ Chark.

Fehoko has a chance to return from injured reserve this week. No. 2 WR Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) and Joshua Palmer (heel) were both sidelined on Wednesday so Fehoko’s improvement comes at the right time. He could suit up as the Chargers’ No. 3 WR this week.
