Moving on to Carolina The Panthers and Arnold agreed to a two-year contract Friday, Peter Schrager of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Since the Cardinals plucked him off waivers in December 2019, Arnold developed a nice connection with Kyler Murray, reeling in 37 of 55 passes for 540 yards and six touchdowns in 19 games. Such production equates to an impressive 9.8 yards per target, with 16.2 percent of his catches going for scores. Arnold will slot in at the top of the Panthers' tight end depth chart.

Cardinals face tough choices on which veterans to keep
The Arizona Cardinals have some tough choices ahead in trying to decide which veterans to keep as they push for a playoff berth for the first time since 2015MARCH 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Puts up career campaign Arnold recorded 31 receptions (on 45 targets) for 438 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games during the 2020 season.
Impact Arnold paced position mates Maxx Williams, Darrell Daniels and Seth DeValve in all statistical categories, including offensive snaps (470 of 1,131, or 41.6 percent). On top of that, Arnold ranked third on the team in receiving yards and TD catches, and fifth in receptions and targets. His 14.1 YPC ranked first among qualified tight ends, a shade ahead of Rob Gronkowski's 13.8. Arnold enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, so it'll be interesting to see if the Cardinals retain him or he takes his services elsewhere.

Injured Murray disappointed after Cardinals' hopes dashed
Kyler Murray’s injured right ankle was the least of his concerns after the Arizona Cardinals' postseason hopes were dashed with an 18-7 loss to the Los Angeles RamsJANUARY 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
No practice limitations Thursday Arnold (back) was a full participant during the Cardinals' practice Thursday.
Impact Arnold was limited with a back issue last Friday, and he was handed a questionable designation heading into Arizona's Week 16 matchup against the 49ers. He fielded his third-highest offensive snap total of the season in that contest, however, collecting three catches and 25 yards while coughing up one fumble to the opposition. Now back to full-go in practice, the 25-year-old looks to be in the clear for an upcoming regular-season finale against the Rams.

Back on injury report Arnold (back) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Arnold was questionable for last week's matchup against the Cardinals due to this back injury. He managed to suit up and play 36 snaps on offense, his highest snap count since Week 2. With a limited practice to start the week, Arnold should play in Sunday's season finale against the Rams as long as he avoids a setback. Arnold could be in line for another increased workload if neither Maxx Williams (ankle) nor Darrell Daniels (hamstring) can play.

Even after ugly weekend, Cardinals control playoff fate
The Arizona Cardinals once again control their playoff fate, even after an ugly 20-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ersDECEMBER 28, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Makes three more catches Saturday Arnold recorded three catches (on five targets) for 25 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers.
Impact It was anything but a clean game for Arnold, who coughed the ball up at the end of a 11-yard grab in the third quarter. He also was evaluated for a head injury during the contest but was able to return to the field. With Maxx Williams (ankle) sidelined, Arnold paced Cardinals tight ends by logging 36 of 82 offensive snaps, with Darrell Daniels handling 30 and Seth DeValve earning 19. Among that group, Arnold is consistently looked at by Kyler Murray (leg), but his four scores are offset by just three games of 50-plus yards, making him TD-dependent.

Active Week 16 Arnold (back) is active for Saturday's contest against the 49ers.
Impact Arnold made a last-minute appearance on the Cardinals' injury report this week, being listed as limited Thursday and questionable for this game. Still, he'll gut out his back issue and may even earn a bit more work with Maxx Williams (ankle) sidelined. Arizona's available tight ends Week 16 are Arnold, Darrell Daniels and Seth DeValve.

Iffy for Saturday with back injury Arnold is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 49ers with a back injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Arnold didn't appear on the Cardinals' first two injury reports of Week 16 before being listed as a limited participant at Thursday's session due to the back issue. With Arnold's status for Saturday's game now muddled, the Cardinals are lacking in healthy bodies at tight end. The other two options at the position currently on the 53-man roster -- Darrell Daniels and Maxx Williams -- are also listed as questionable with hamstring and ankle injuries, respectively.

Three more catches in Week 15 Arnold caught three of five passes for 54 yards during Sunday's 33-26 victory over the Eagles.
Impact Arnold has been on a bit of a roll over the last five games, averaging 18.1 YPC and 9.6 YPT and scoring four touchdowns on his 17 targets. Two of his three catches Sunday went for 20 or more yards, which brings him to four total over the last three contests. Arnold will look to build further on his connection with Kyler Murray in the final two outings of the season.

Cardinals, Eagles far from perfect but both have momentum
The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles are both coming off big wins and meet in the desert with playoff aspirationsDECEMBER 17, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Makes another end-zone visit Arnold gathered in two of four targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 26-7 road victory versus the Giants.
Impact Arnold showed promise as a red-zone threat in three appearances to close out last season, scoring two TDs on 10 targets. However, he was kept out of the end zone through his first nine appearances and on his first 21 targets of the current campaign before tallying his first score Week 11. Including that four-yard grab, Arnold has posted a 6-109-4 line on 11 targets over the last three and a half games. Considering the rapport he's developed with Kyler Murray of late and his standing as the receiving tight end in the Cardinals offense, Arnold has a bit of sway as the team looks to lock down a playoff berth.
