As to why he isn't on the field over Yoder - who is a decent TE but nothing more - it really has to be one of two reasons. And you will never get an NFL coach to tell you which one:
1. He isn't smart enough to understand his responsibilities on a wide enough spectrum of plays that they don't dare put him out there for much of anything lest he make a big mistake.
2. He can't block at all and putting him there could place Jason Campbell and/or any of the running backs in serious danger.
It pretty much has to be something along the lines of one of those two things...

I bet it's more in line with #1, combined with Zorn's penchant for very precise play. Zorn has been slow to let the rooks on the field at WR too. What's odd is Zorn had him in more earlier, it seems to me. Maybe he's regressed some in practice.
If he can't block (or at least block better than Yoder), we've got a problem. Let's hope he can be coached up.
