Troy Niklas

All the talent in the world can be wiped away by injuries, which has been Niklas' reality since he was selected in the second round of the 2014 draft. During his third spring practice with the Cardinals, he required surgery on a fractured finger in his left hand. Later, his rookie year came to a close with his placement on injured reserve due to a pair of serious ankle sprains. In 2015, Niklas was active for all 16 games, but tight ends Darren Fells and Jermaine Gresham blocked him from regular reps. To wrap up his tour of the recovery room, Niklas suffered a wrist injury in Week 3 last season that required a procedure and another stint on IR. Healthy once again, he won't have to contend with the departed Fells in the upcoming campaign, but Gresham resides at the top of the TE depth chart. Still, Niklas will be given another chance to prove Arizona's investment.
