Teagan Quitoriano injury: status, history and who gets his targets if he is out

Arizona Cardinals · Tight end · status this week: not on ESPN’s injury list; the league’s week 6 report is not out yet

Checked Oct 13, 2026.

Over his 4 full seasons on record, Teagan Quitoriano played 38 of 68 regular-season games (56%), and 1 of 5 so far in 2026. Season by season.

The Arizona Cardinals room absorbs +0.71 receptions, and Elijah Higgins takes the largest single share at +0.24. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the tight end room.

Where the work goes

Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.

Regular season only. Games played counts games with at least one offensive snap; designations are from the official weekly injury report, which does not list players on injured reserve, so a long absence shows as missed games rather than as weeks listed out.

What the data says happens

Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.

When a team’s number-one tight end does not play, what each position group gains:

RoomReceptions gainednt
Receivers+0.1072,1602.29
Tight ends+0.4921,0249.57
Backs-0.0451,259-0.92

The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
