While a bit undersized for the position, he brings a unique ability to separate as a receiving tight end and has been in competition for a TE4 role all camp. With rookie Miles Kitselman now on injured reserve, Meeks' path to the roster is a bit easier, and with a good performance in the preseason, he will have a chance to hold off Thomas Gordon and prove to coaches that they should keep a fourth tight end on the 53-man roster.

Positive signalRole

Meeks has clearer path to TE4 roster spot with Kitselman on injured reserve.

Meeks converted from WR-X to tight end mid-season last year and has risen up the depth chart this offseason due to injuries in the tight end room. Though undersized for the position, Meeks brings unique receiving ability and has been competing for a TE4 role all camp. With rookie Miles Kitselman now on injured reserve, Meeks' path to the roster is easier; a strong preseason performance will give him a chance to hold off Thomas Gordon and secure a fourth tight end spot on the 53-man roster.
