Summary
Vokolek, 28, said doctors and neurologists advised him to medically retire after a serious neck injury suffered last season.
The Cardinals tight end was hurt against the Colts while blocking on a kickoff, landed awkwardly after contact and was stretchered off the field.
Arizona signed Vokolek in December 2023 after he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Baltimore and never appeared in a game for the Ravens.
Eight games with the Cardinals ended up being his full NFL career, with limited offensive involvement after college stops at Rutgers and Nebraska.
