The Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for training camp with a focus on solidifying their roster and roles ahead of the 2024 season. One player under the microscope is tight end Elijah Higgins, entering his third season after being drafted in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins in 2023. After a rocky start, Higgins was claimed off waivers by the Cardinals after being cut by Miami. Last season was challenging, as he was inactive for the first six games, positioned as the fourth tight end. Now, the Cardinals are looking for Higgins to step up and establish himself in a more significant role as they prepare for the upcoming season.

In 2024, Higgins will need to prove he can contribute on the field amidst competition at the tight end position. With the Cardinals' training camp approaching, Higgins must showcase his skills and secure a spot in the lineup. Observers will be keen to see how he translates his college experience as a wide receiver at Stanford into effective play at tight end. This could be a pivotal year for Higgins as he looks to cement his place within the Cardinals' offense.
