A torn pectoral suffered in the 2026 preseason opener after just five snaps has ended his rookie season before it started, wiping out a full year of on-field development and evaluation.
His linebacker-to-tight-end conversion at Oklahoma gives him an unusual athletic/blocking profile that could carve out a developmental joker/move-TE role once healthy.
Behind Bellinger, Tennessee's tight end room lacks an entrenched difference-maker, leaving a lane open if Kanak shows real receiving juice in a healthy 2027 camp.
