Hudson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Broncos after logging a DNP on Thursday's injury report. Hudson has been held out of practice since suffering a knee injury during the Bengals' Week 15 win over the Titans. Cam Grandy and Tanner McLachlan would serve as Cincinnati's depth tight ends behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample if Hudson is inactive Saturday.
Hudson (knee) didn't participate in Cincinnati's practice Tuesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. Hudson missed the team's Week 16 win over the Browns with a knee injury and is now in danger of missing another matchup. If he can't return to practice prior to Saturday's matchup versus the Broncos, he will likely be sidelined for a second straight week.
Hudson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. Hudson played just five snaps last week against the Titans, catching his lone target for nine yards. The veteran tight end hasn't been playing heavy snaps, but he's proven to be a target-earner when on the field, securing 18 of 22 targets for 143 yards and one touchdown on the season despite playing just 115 offensive snaps. His absence leaves the Bengals with a tight end group of Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Cam Grandy and Tanner McLachlan.
Hudson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Hudson was absent from Wednesday's practice report, so it appears the knee injury is a recent one. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Over his last six games, Hudson has caught 16 passes (on 18 targets) for 125 yards and one touchdown.
Hudson played 14 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 19-yard catch in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys. Hudson saw the least amount of playing time of any of the four Bengals tight ends that were active for the contest, but he made perhaps two of the more impactful plays of the night. The 19-yard reception was Cincinnati's fifth-longest gain of the game and extended a fourth-quarter drive, and Hudson also hopped on a Joe Burrow fumble in Bengals territory on that same possession to spare his team a turnover.
Hudson caught all four of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. Hudson played just 12 of the Bengals' 62 offensive snaps, behind both Drew Sample (39) and Mike Gesicki (27). With that said, the 30-year-old Hudson was targeted on one-third of his snaps. His four grabs and 28 yards were both his second-highest marks in each category, highlighting his limited usage so far this season. Operating as the Bengals' No. 3 tight end, Hudson is not on the fantasy radar. The Bengals visit the Cowboys in Week 14.
Hudson caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Hudson played just 11 percent of the Bengals' 82 offensive snaps Sunday, a substantial dip in snap share after he averaged a 26 percent snap share over Cincinnati's previous three contests. Operating as the No. 3 tight end behind teammates Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample, Hudson has totaled just 12 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown across seven games this season. The 30-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar after the team's Week 12 bye when the Bengals' host the Steelers on Dec. 1.
Hudson brought in six of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. The towering tight end finished third in receptions and receiving yards on the Bengals for the night, and he had two more catches than position mate Mike Gesicki on two fewer targets. Hudson had just recorded his first two catches since Week 1 in Sunday's win over the Raiders, so Thursday's numbers were season highs across the board and included his first touchdown of the campaign on a three-yard grab late in the first half. It's still difficult to trust Hudson's week-to-week involvement considering Gesicki's presence, however, leaving the former with an uncertain fantasy outlook for a Week 11 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.
Hudson played 20 of the Bengals' 74 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 14 yards on three targets in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. Hudson recorded his first pair of receptions since Week 1 and benefited from more snaps than usual in part due to rookie tight end Erick All (knee) sustaining what was ultimately determined to be a season-ending ACL tear during the contest. With All out of the mix, Hudson could continue to see a slightly elevated role as the Bengals' No. 2 pass-catching tight end behind Mike Gesicki.
