Cade Stover

Stover sits at TE4 behind starter Dalton Schultz, with 2nd-round rookie Marlin Klein and veteran Foster Moreau also on the depth chart, leaving little room for receiving-package snaps.

Target share fell to 7% even as snap share climbed to 67% in the divisional-round playoff game, confirming Stover's usage is almost entirely in-line blocking with no route-running expansion.

Stover played through a knee injury suffered in the January 2026 divisional-round playoff loss and offseason hernia surgery; he is fully healthy and a full participant entering 2026, but the recent injury log adds durability variance for a player already fighting for roster snaps.

Stover's 67% playoff snap share shows the staff already trusts him in extended-role packages; a Dalton Schultz injury or departure remains the clearest (if unlikely near-term) path to meaningful receiving-package work.
